MSU pres. Resigns

[biggunsbob]

That's a nice payday...for the Lawyers.

And more for the victims of this heinous crime!!!!

Tuition and tax dollars paying for settlement.

 

[tomdalton22]

Heard some is suppose to come from tax payers . Why is that when MSU makes over 2 billion a year .

because it's a "state-funded" school. If it were a private institution the state/taxpayers wouldn't have to pay any of it.

As far as MSU making over $2B a year....what are you talking about???

lol...what a mess

 

[Michchamp]

Mumphery really couldn't have picked a better time for that lawsuit, eh?

I can imagine Governor Fatboy trying to use this for PR: "What do you mean we weren't tough enough on sex offenders? A sex offender is suing us for being too tough on him right now!"

Follow up question no one will ask: "You had already expelled him for sexual assault, yet you let him come back on campus for a workout, where he committed this other sexual assault. ... Why?"

They're being sued for that too.

The female student in the case, who is not named in the suit, has also sued MSU in federal court, alleging the school helped Mumphery come back to campus after it had banned him.

 

[Michchamp]

They're being sued for that too.

I know. brevity is the soul of wit though. if you don't draw the line somewhere on including all the horrible things they've done, your post will go on ad infinitum, and clog up the internets.

True, but it's noteworthy, and a bit of a failing in the headline to point out, that they're getting sued from both sides on this one.

Maybe there's something in the water in East Lansing?

That might explain why Grant Perry got in so much trouble there...

What Grant Perry did was worse than all that littering Travis Walton did.

I had already pointed that out earlier in this thread

it is a long thread, though, so you're excused for forgetting.

 

[Gulo Blue]

Why is MSU still paying this person? She agreed to testify on a certain date, that date didn't work, they changed the date to a day she's on vacation, and now you get a New York Times article with her lawyer complaining about the inconvenience followed by a restatement of her badly worded blame-avoiding resignation.

?They set the date without even asking if there was an inconvenience,?

He's upset because they already bought plane tickets for the initial date and can't get a refund.

It looks to me like MSU's selectivity is going to drop. I think I saw speculation that they'd admit larger classes to bring in more funding in light of the settlement. Terrible, stupid, improperly motivated leadership. MSU deserves better.

 

[thewolverines24]

They have to find a way to stay in the news every week. Why not bestiality at this point?

Hate algebra? MSU has good news.
Beginning in fall 2017, students will be able to fulfill their general math requirement without passing college-level algebra.

Bad leadership

Bad leadership

From the article:

EAST LANSING - Cameron Newhouse, like many college students, struggles with math. The 26-year-old senior tried and failed three times to pass college math classes at Michigan State University.

?It got to the point that I wasn?t passing math here, so I went to (Lansing Community College) and passed it there,? she said, crediting smaller classes and more one-on-one help from professors.

But heading into her senior year, she still lacked a necessary college algebra credit​

how can anyone admitted to a Big Ten caliber university be that bad at pre-algebra?

shit!

also... a 26-year-old undergrad?

I had pre-algebra in 7th grade. I turned 13 that year. I got an "A"

Considering how expensive college is these days, you want to get through as fast as possible, but on the other hand it should be no surprise if more people now take time off to work along the way or before enrolling.



A long time ago, I heard bad things about the lower level math classes at MSU and it being somewhat common for struggling MSU students to go to LCC for the better teaching. I was given the option to take classes at either place, no cost to me, and was advised to take the LCC course even though I had to drive past East Lansing every day to get there. Much longer commute.

You should probably specify that you were taking classes there in high school because you were smart, not in college because you were dumb.

otherwise you might get ridiculed by other posters here.

Nah. I've got that Michigan Arrogance.

I graduated at 25. I was in the military, though. Maybe he has a similar excuse/reason.
