Another Big Ten president is on the move.
Less than two weeks after Michigan State University offered President Kevin Guskiewicz a $1 million raise, doubling his compensation to $2 million a year, to fend off headhunters, he is leaving to take the top job at Clemson University.
When MSU trustees proposed the raise, they said that Guskiewicz was being aggressively recruited by other institutions and noted his frustrations with the board. While trustees did not specify the nature of those frustrations, Michigan State’s board has been mired in drama in recent years, accused of retaliating against faculty members and micromanaging prior presidents.
