The Michigan State University Board of Trustees said today they're confident in the job John Engler is doing as interim president.
The board said his job is safe for now.
“John’s apology for the comments contained in an April email that was released last week is appropriate and appreciated by a majority of the Board,” said Brian Breslin, Chair of the MSU Board of Trustees said.
“The majority of the Board believes Interim President John Engler has played a significant leadership role developing our new approaches and has been a driving force in the rapid rollout of many of these reforms. He will continue to serve as Interim President until a new President is selected. John is not a candidate for the permanent position and has stated repeatedly that he wishes to depart as soon as the new President is chosen.”
This comes after Engler issued a statement apologizing for an April email in which he attacked a Larry Nassar survivor.
