MSU Trustee Kelly Tebay comments on resignation of John Engler Detroit Free Press
Michigan State University's board named Satish Udpa as its new interim president on Thursday, replacing John Engler.
Engler resigned Wednesday, hours after the board scheduled a special Thursday morning meeting to fire him. Engler had said he would resign next Wednesday, but the board accepted his resignation effective immediately. The move to accept Engler's resignation and name Upda interim president was unanimous. Trustee Melanie Foster, an Engler supporter, was not at the meeting.
"A wrong has been righted today," an emotional board member Kelly Tebay, nearly in tears, said.
