Michigan State University President Kevin Guskiewicz’s May 27 resignation letter to campus was unconventional. He accused some unnamed Board of Trustees members of manipulation, misrepresentation and promoting a personal agenda, while simultaneously announcing he was leaving to take the top job at Clemson University.
On Monday, he sent another unconventional update: He had reversed course and decided to stay at Michigan State. He signed a new contract with a nearly half-a-million-dollar raise and added benefits.
“Under the strong leadership of Board Chair Brianna Scott and Vice Chair Renee Knake Jefferson, we have had productive conversations about the governance challenges I previously shared,” Guskiewicz wrote. “The board has demonstrated a commitment to implementing a more robust governance structure, including recent improvements to the Code of Ethics and Conduct.”
