When Michigan State University president Kevin Guskiewicz announced last week that he was leaving East Lansing to take the top job at Clemson University, the blame game over his exit began immediately.
Guskiewicz cast the first stone in his resignation announcement.
In a scathing letter, he accused the Board of Trustees of spending “too much energy” on “revisiting past conflicts and internal disagreements rather than focusing collectively on the opportunities and aspirations ahead of us.” He also blamed trustees for “publicly undermining decisions and putting personal interests above the best interests” of the campus community. In addition, Guskiewicz wrote that they abused “their access to privileged and confidential information to mispresent [sic] facts, manipulate situations and selectively use and leak that information to promote personal agendas.”
