As two board members, several lawmakers and a host of Spartan students and alumni called for him to step down as Michigan State University’s Interim President, John Engler said he’s not going anywhere.
“I continue to look ahead,” he said in a statement released in the hours following two of his bosses calling for his resignation. He did not directly address the calls for resignation in his statement.
“Whatever the tensions were before, we have successfully negotiated a settlement agreement — something that is fair and equitable to both sides, and that both sides agreed to. We are now committed to continuing our efforts to strengthen sexual misconduct prevention on and off campus and to respond promptly to and appropriately if prevention fails.
“I am looking forward to the Board of Trustee meeting next week where we will continue our progress and efforts to move forward. I believe actions matter, and that is how the success of our work will be determined.”
Michigan State University interim President John Engler must step aside immediately, board members Brian Mosallam and Dianne Byrum said Friday morning in separate statements.
