Daniel Howes, writing in the Detroit News: “This has been going on for nearly eight years. Scandal and trials; six presidents, three of them interim; raucous board meetings where Nassar survivors demand accountability; trustee confrontations, complete with ritual denunciations by Democratic Party bigwigs determined to unseat a board chair (Vassar) deemed insufficiently compliant. Running through it all is the Nassar scandal and the university’s struggle to manage the aftermath with honesty, transparency, and a bias toward using action to build trust. Nessel’s assessment of the documents and what they portend don’t vindicate the trustees’ management of the crisis; they indict it again. Institutions as dysfunctional as MSU don’t get that way by accident. They get that way by choice.” Full commentary here.
