LANSING, Mich. -- A high-ranking Michigan State University official involved in the board of trustees' plan says former Gov. John Engler will be named interim president.
A source confirmed to ESPN, based on the first report by The Associated Press, that the board will vote to hire Engler on Wednesday amid the fallout over sexual assaults committed by former school sports doctor Larry Nassar. The official who made the report spoke on the condition of anonymity because the decision had not been publicly announced.
President Lou Anna Simon resigned last week, and the board named Bill Beekman as acting president.
