The proposed amendments to ordinance 1578would strip the commission of investigative powers that it has held for over 60 years.

Notably, the revisions would also protect the City of East Lansing, and all its departments and officials from any complaints filed against them by the HRC. The revisions propose that instead, complaints against these individuals should be filed with the Michigan Department of Civil Rights or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or the courts.

At the Wednesday meeting, Tina Farhat, vice chair of the HRC, said that residents who file complaints need the confidence that their concerns will receive a meaningful review.

"Young people, students, and members of historically marginalized communities are less likely to come forward if they believe local oversight mechanisms have been weakened," Farhat said. "A civil rights process should not only exist on paper, it should be accessible, visible, and trusted. Moving every significant matter to state agencies may create additional barriers for residents who are seeking local avenues for resolution."

EL City Attorney Steven Joppich argued that independent HRC investigations into city staff violate the city charter.

EL City Council also argues that it cannot grant judicial powers to its commissions because it doesn't possess them itself. The council also cited a 1978 Michigan Attorney General opinion in support of its explanation of the matter.

Commissionersof the HRC highlighted their concerns about a subsequent amendmentthat would prohibit the HRC from taking action on complaints against city contractors, and institute that they be forwarded to the EL City Council and City Manager instead.

Commissioner Rebecca Kasen feels that this would create a special exception for businesses or contractors who have agreements with the city and could have implications for some potentially unexpected parties as well.

She explains that, for example, a landlord may be renting space to the city or giving space to the city, but also has student housing or rental housing.

"The way that this is written means that if a landlord were to discriminate against a student, but they also have to have a contract with the city, that student, again, loses any ability to have their issue investigated and potentially seek a solution," Kasen said.

"This encourages more people to have contracts with the city just so that they can avoid investigation by spot," she added.

Another notable amendment would require that one member of the HRC have mediation training, while another amendment strips the commission's ability to "mediate complaints."

"Why require it when you're stripping us of the power to mediate anyway? Seems nonsensical," Farhat said.

After a lengthy community discussion forum on June 8, commissioners met again on June 10 to discuss how they could push back against the proposed changes.

The commission concluded that it would be sending a memo to the EL City Council requesting that they wait to vote on the matter, and that a committee, including at least one HRC member and one EL resident, be formed to review the changes first.

They also requested that any council member who has received funds or has had any business relationships with companies or individuals that the HRC has investigated remove themselves from the vote or the committee.

Commissioners continue to point out that these changes come after the commission undertook a significant review involving the East Lansing Police Department.

In response to the section of the revised ordinance that would take away the HRC's ability to investigate any case active in state or federal courts, Farhat said, "The only reason I can think of for this is to avoid cases like we just received and decided on."

The HRC recently reviewed an incident where ELPD pepper-sprayed two Black men on campus during welcome week in August.

ELPD sent a press release after naming the two young men, violating a city policy that stops press releases from including the names of detainees unless a serious crime has been committed out of concern for reputational harm.

After the incident, the HRC issued corrective actions to the city at its May 27 meeting, including that the city pays the two young men $50,000 each for reputational harm and other damages, and that the city covers any ongoing medical, psychological and legal costs.

The ordinance amendment explains that although the granting of the HRC's judicial powers happened decades ago, "the HRC has not, until now, endeavored to exercise those powers in a significant way, which has brought the issue to light."

Even if the proposal is motivated by legitimate legal concerns, the sequence of events may undermine the public's confidence in the city, Farhat said.

Many members of the commission said they fully support changes to the ordinance, but that these changes are coming too quickly and without enough review.

"The concern is that sweeping structural changes are being proposed immediately after the Human Rights Commission engaged in one of the most visible and consequential investigations," Farhat said. "When an oversight body exercises its authority and then faces significant reduction in that authority, residents may reasonably question whether accountability is being weakened."

In recent months, various transparency concerns about the City of East Lansing have arisen for many.

Many commissioners pointed out their concerns about the city's attorney mandating that they go into closed sessions when speaking about the proposed changes during meetings.

Commissioner Matthew Boughton said they shouldn't be closed, with Kasen adding that they shouldn't be, especially since those sessions don't discuss private cases.

"I think that we have gotten to a place where they know that the reasons and explanations for what they are doing are unpopular, and they do not want that information in the public," Boughton said. "All of this information should be out in the open. Everyone has a right to know what the effects of these changes should be. And we are told time and again that we have to go into closed session. It's beginning to be farcical."

How the city has the authority to close meetings from the public in situations like this is going to be his "biggest question coming out of this."

Kasen received a message from the HRC Commission Chair, Karen Hoene, during the Wednesday meeting, suggesting steps forward for the commission if that authority turns out to be unfounded.

Kasen said that if the HRC finds that there is no legal justification for them to be in closed session, or that there has been other poor legal advice given to the city by the city's law firm, they should encourage those who are recipients of the poor legal advice to report the law firm and any of the attorneys to the Bar Association.

Boughton and Farhat mentioned their disappointment in the EL City Council members and city attorneys for not being present to answer questionsfrom the commission about the proposed changes at the Wednesday meeting.

The EL City Council may vote on the proposal as soon as June 16.

Board Chair Brianna Scott said during the MSU Board of Trustees' June 12 meeting that the announcement of MSU's next leader will be in the "coming future," with the help of consulting firm Isaacson Miller.

It is unclear if this concerns an interim or permanent presidential candidate for the university. But Vice President of Communications and MSU spokesperson Emily Guerrant says that she assumes the forthcoming announcement will be an Interim President.

"I'm assuming interim, because I don't think they're just gonna jump to naming a president, I really don't," Guerrant said over the phone after the board meeting.

In the president's October 2025 contract, Guskiewicz has two avenues he can take to resign - without good reason or with good reason. If Guskiewicz resigns without good reason, he is obligated to give the university six months' notice before leaving the job.

"It would be up to the board to make a decision on if it is a good reason or not," Guerrant said. "That is the negotiations that the board and the president have to engage in now to pick an actual date."

Guerrant said that if negotiations didn't happen, it would be assumed that he would have to stay at MSU for six months.

His departure marks MSU's seventh leader to hold the position of university president in ten years.

In a last-ditch effort to keep Guskiewicz, the board approved a $1 million raise for the president and a contract extension through 2031 during the May 17 special meeting.

During the June 12 meeting, Trustee Sandy Pierce jokingly said that "didn't work."

The raise Guskiewicz was offered could set the bar high for prospective candidates. Scott says this should not be assumed.

"Maybe that's close to it, but it could be less," Scott said at a press conference after the meeting. "I don't want someone to have any thoughts that just because that is what we had offered to him, that means the next person's automatically getting that amount. That's not true."

Scott says they are looking for "someone that understands the political nature of Michigan, and that you do have trustees that are elected that understands higher ed and where we are as far as the defunding we have been seeing over the years".

"Someone who is willing to work with our board despite the past history of our board, someone who comes in and thinks they can work with us," Scott said.

Guskiewicz pointed to discord among the Board of Trustees as the reason for his departure from the university in a campuswide email sent after the announcement.

The meeting was held at an MSU Extension center in Benton Harbor.

Engineering dean

Following a national search, Interim Engineering Dean John Papapolymerou was approved by the board as dean of the College of Engineering.

Papapolymerou has served as interim dean since Oct. 1, 2024.

He is an MSU Research Foundation Distinguished Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and director of the MSU Space Electronics Initiative.

Before serving as interim dean, he served as chair of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering for nine years.

Renewable natural gas facility

Located off campus, the renewable natural gas facility will be situated next to the current anaerobic digester, which is also set to be expanded.

This will cost the university $27.7 million.

The expansion of the digester and the addition of the renewable natural gas facility will "double" the capacity of the existing anaerobic digester and will "help meet programmatic goals" for the Dairy Cattle Research and Teaching Center, which was recently constructed about three miles off campus.

The project was approved in December 2025. If passed, the project will be funded through a mix of long-term debt, which will be paid for largely by the project itself. MSU also expects to receive federal tax incentives that could cover up to 40% of the project's eligible costs.

Guskiewicz spearheaded Spartan Media Ventures as part of a slew of initiatives dedicated to modernizing revenue generation, especially in a new era of college athletics. Spartan Ventures will bring in money for name, image and likeness for student-athletes, revamp infrastructure and give MSU Athletics a monetary advantage over other institutions.

After the Board of Trustees' June 12 meeting, Board Chair Brianna Scott said there have been no changes to Spartan Ventures or Spartan Media Ventures.

In December of 2025, the board approved a resolution allowing the university to enter into a strategic brand management agreement with the nonprofit Spartan Ventures. The resolution allowed for the creation of its for-profit counterpart, Spartan Media Ventures, which has drawn criticism from board members for a lack of proper disclosures.

With MSU in search of its 23rd president, Brianna Scott said no matter who's in charge of MSU, Spartan Ventures will remain the same.

"You take the person and the names out, you take my name out, and you look at my position as the board chair; you do the same with the president, and so whoever sits in that position, it will apply to that person just as much as it applied to Kevin," Scott said.

Spartan Ventures is set to launch on July 1, with Guskiewicz's final day not yet announced. As for Athletic Director J Batt, he has a clause in his contract that would cut his $5 million buyout in half if he decided to leave East Lansing. Scott said her understanding is that he is still "on board" and working.

During the meeting, Faculty Senate Chair Dr. John Aerni-Flessner called for 25% of revenue generated from Spartan Ventures to go toward the general fund so "Every Spartan student and faculty member could clearly see the connection between a successful athletic enterprise and the collective academic enterprise."

"It is great to be one step ahead of our colleagues in Ann Arbor, not going to lie, in creating new sport commercial ventures to take advantage of the new rules and opportunities opening up via transformations in the NCAA system," Aerni-Flessner said.

With much change coming to the university and its operating budget, Scott said MSU's revenue streams on the athletics end should remain constant.

"In my opinion, no, nothing should change; everything should continue," Scott said.

Donations to MSU and MSU Athletics have increased, Scott said, even with tumultuous relations on the board and presidential change.

"We have people that have not donated in a long time, finally having the confidence in our leadership in the university that have come back and started donating," Scott said. "We want to continue doing that."

Trustee Mike Balow has been a critic of Spartan Media Ventures since its inception last fall. The board required trustees to sign a nondisclosure agreement to gain access to documents relating to the for-profit venture.

Trustee Sandy Pierce said the NDA gives MSU a strategic advantage over its competitors in raising revenue. All documents relating to Spartan Media Ventures are not subject to public disclosure.

"The strategic initiative puts MSU far ahead of all of its competitors," Pierce said. "If (documents) were released, we would not have a competitive advantage."

At the board's June 12 Benton Harbor meeting, the board introduced a resolution to censure the two trustees for "failure to comply with the Statement of Acknowledgement requirement" following the recently approved revisions to the code of ethics and conduct made on May 17.

Vassar and Balow will lose all non-essential privileges, including the revocation of complimentary tickets to athletic events, strict limits on travel reimbursement and suspensions from groundbreaking ceremonies, among other restrictions.

The resolution passed 4-3, with trustees Dennis Denno, Balow and Vassar dissenting. Trustee Kelly Tebay Zemke was not in attendance for the meeting.

"Experts in higher education governance have stated that they're aware of no other university in the United States with the policies that mirror Michigan State University's combination of a mandatory signature deadline and automatic penalties for elected trustees," Balow said of the revisions to the code.

Board chair Brianna Scott said that the board sought the opinion of outside legal counsel to ensure the revisions are constitutional.

Balow called the revised code a "loyalty oath."

The revised code of ethics bars trustees from publicly dissenting from majority decisions by MSU and the board in their official capacities. The new code was introduced during a special meeting on May 17 and passed in a 5-3 vote.

Trustees were required to sign a statement of acknowledgement adhering to the revisions by May 24. Balow, Vassar and Denno initially did not sign, although Denno later signed the acknowledgment on May 26, two days after the deadline.

"Any board member of a university or nonprofit has a similar duty of loyalty expectation," trustee Renee Knake Jefferson said. "This is not a suppression of speech or dissent in any way. It means acting on behalf of the best interest of the university."

Of the censure, Vassar said, "I've never voted to censure any of my colleges, I don't think that is my role to police one and other."

"When I became an elected board official, I did not give up my American right to freedom of speech," Vassar said. "This is not really a governance question; it's a constitutional question, and it's not a moral question."

Vassar and Balow had their credentials revoked from the Mackinac Policy Conference, falling in line with the code's new policy of sanctioning board members that refused to sign the statement of acknowledgement.

Trustee Rebecca Bahar-Cook rejected Vassar's claims of the code "policing" fellow trustees.

"I don't see this as us policing each other, I see this as a governing board governing itself," Bahar-Cook said.

"It is impossible if we have board members continuing to undermine majority decisions to stop us from moving forward," Knake Jefferson said.

Vassar said the revisions to the code of ethics and conduct are reflective of "Trump-ian" policies and drew comparisons to the censorship policies of the McCarthy era.

"What this board has done sets a dangerous precedent," Vassar said and later added. "Today it is me, tomorrow it could be anyone."

Trustee Sandy Pierce, who chairs the board's budget and finance committee, said that the deficit "will be corrected through a combination of one-time revenues."

"Nearly half of the revenue to support the institution's operation comes from student tuition fees and state appropriations for the coming academic year," Pierce said.

The deficit was attributed to unclear state appropriations.The Michigan Legislature has yet to finalize the budget for public universities in the state, meaning the budget passed by the board is not informed by state funding.

In April, House Republicans proposed a 62% slash to MSU state funding. The proposed budget set state appropriations to the university at $208.8 million, compared to the current fiscal year, when MSU received $333.7 million.

The board voted to raise tuition by 3.99% across the board.

The resolution passed 4-2, with trustees Rema Vassar and Mike Balow dissenting. Trustee Kelly TebayZemke did not attend the meeting.

The 3.99% increase fallsatop a 5% increase in housing and dining rates for the 2026-27 academic year that the board approved in April.

This will equate to freshman paying $8,828, sophomores paying $9,023 and upperclassman paying $10,012 per semester for in-state tuition.

Changes to tuition rates may not be the end of fiscal changes for the university.

"We know we have another year ahead of us with more tough decisions to make with our spending," President Kevin Guskiewicz said.

The vote falls amid negotiations between the Union for Tenure System Faculty and the university. The agenda says that the university does "anticipate" bargaining to begin in late June.

During last year's June meeting, the board increased tuition by 4.5%. That tuition hike equated to roughly $798 more per academic year for resident undergraduates.

The board also approved a $27.7 million expansion of their anaerobic digester and the addition of a renewable natural gas facility.

The resolution lists that athletics will be in debt, though it is unclear by how much. The budget says that Spartan Ventures, the university's new media company set to be launched on July 1, will help "eliminate the operating deficit."

These changes come as the university enacts its 9% budget cut plan over two years. In 2025, the board passed a 6% cut for the 25-26 academic year, followed by a 3% cut for 2026-27.

"Higher education in this country has reached the point where the model is starting to crack in terms of how it's traditionally been funded and how it needs to be funded over the next 50 years," Balow said.

The university reports these changes are a reflection of changes at the national level. The resolution reads, "Changes to federal student loan policies are creating headwinds across higher education, although the full impact has yet to be realized. Professional and other graduate degree programs may be most at risk."

Changes to budget and tuition rates were made public the morning before the vote took place. It was the only action item not made public before the meeting.

"I know that these proposed changes will have a meaningful impact on our students and their families," Trustee SandyPierce said. "Every trustee recognizes that the administration and the board don't take the decisions lightly."

This comes after the trustees refused to sign a letter of acknowledgement saying they would abide by the Board's new code of ethics and conduct.

At the board's June 12 Benton Harbor meeting, a resolution was introduced to censure the two trustees for "failure to comply with the Statement of Acknowledgement requirement" after recently approved revisions to the code of ethics and conduct were made on May 17.

The revised code of ethics bars trustees from publicly dissenting from majority decisions by MSU and the board in their official capacities. The new code was introduced during a special meeting on May 17 and passed in a 5-3 vote.

Trustees were required to sign a statement of acknowledgement adhering to the revisions by May 24. Balow, Vassar and Dennis Denno initially did not sign the code. Denno signed the code on May 26, two days after the deadline.

The following weekend, Vassar and Balow had their credentials revoked from the Mackinac Policy Conference,falling in line with the code's new policy of sanctioning board members who refused to sign.

According to the resolution, if a trustee refused to sign the statement, the board would bring consequences such as being blocked from MSU events that don't require them to be present in their formal board capacity, the loss of tickets to games, the loss of reimbursements and the loss of university-funded legal representation.

Vassar and Balow spoke to members of the press at the steps of the Capitol building on June 3 in a bipartisan refusal of revisions to the code, arguing that it set a dangerous precedent for free speech at MSU.

"That is not governance; that is retaliation," Vassar said of her credentials being pulled on June 3.

This is not Vassar's first time being censured.

In 2024, Vassar was censured for violating the board's conflict of interest policy.

On behalf of Vassar, attorney Martin Shepherd of Mavacy PLLC wrote that the defendants in her lawsuit face more than $25 million in potential damages.

The demand outlines that Vassar believes fellow trustees and the university repeatedly violated MSU board policy to attack her because she is a Black woman.

"The historic significance of her chairmanship - first Black woman in 168 years - has been transformed into a public narrative of forced removal," the demand wrote.

The document was sent out hours before the board held a last minute special meeting on May 17 approving revisions to the board's code of ethics and conduct and a $1 million raise to the university president's salary.

The pre-litigation demand says that if a lawsuit is filed, they will name MSU, the Board of Trustees, Board Chair Brianna Scott, former trustee Dan Kelly in his individual and official capacity, MSU General Counsel Brian Quinn, former trustee Dianne Byrum in her individual capacity and "other persons" who are named in the document.

The demand gave the university until June 17 - 30 days after it was filed - to respond. If the university does not provide a "meaningful" response, Shepherd will file the lawsuit in federal court. That deadline is just five days after the board's next regularly scheduled public meeting on June 12.

"If this turns into litigation, we plan to fight it," Vice President of MSU Communications Emily Guerrant said on Wednesday night.

A pre-litigation demand is a step a plaintiff can take to warn the defendants of future litigation. Guerrant confirmed that the university has not yet been served an intent to sue, the first step for a lawsuit.

Vassar says that she was "attacked" following a 2023 letter sent by Scott alleging misconduct on behalf of Vassar. "No comparable pressure campaign has ever been mounted against any white trustee for governance-related conduct," the pre-litigation demand wrote.

Following the letter, a Washington D.C. based law firm, Miller Chevalier, conducted a third party investigation into the claims. The conclusions of the investigation found Vassar had committed some misconduct, but not all that was alleged in Scott's letter.

The demand referenced multiple instances of alleged unfair discrimination, one of which being an investigation into her allegedly holding up an "inappropriate hand gesture" during a March 2024 Zoom meeting.

Another instance is the public response of five trustees to a State News article published in April, outlining issues Vassar, trustees Mike Balow and Dennis Denno had with Quinn. Vassar says that she has been a "recurring object of this kind of public condemnation by the same board faction since 2023."

Vassar's term started in January 2021.

Vassar did not respond to multiple requests for comment Wednesday night.

Within her list of demands, Vassar requests:

• A rescission of her 2024 censorship and governor referral to be taken off the board.
• Written confirmation from MSU that no internal or external investigation will be initiated against Vassar.
• A jointly drafted public statement from Scott and MSUpresident Kevin Guskiewicz acknowledging Vassar's "ongoing service as a duly elected Trustee and the Board's commitment to neutral application of governance instruments going forward."

Denno was also found guilty of misconduct in the same investigation as Vassar. Denno, Vassar and Scott were all censured as an outcome of the investigation.

The demand went line by line through Scott, Byrum, Kelly, trustee Renee Knake Jefferson and Quinn who have allegedly committed similar violations of the board's policies, but have not been censured or reprimanded in any form.

Vassar also claims the newly revised board's of code and ethics is a "first amendment prior restraint and compelled speech" violation.

The "We Heart Kevin G" campaign quickly spread across campus and social media in the days after.

Pat Gillespie, owner and CEO of the Lansing-based real-estate developer Gillespie Group, decided late Friday afternoon to show gratitude for Guskiewicz after his 27-month tenure. Gillespie Group had 400-plus signs ready for print before the workday finished. By Monday morning, those signs took their place all across campus and the Lansing area.

On the ground, Gillespie Group employees and volunteers planted signs by the Spartan Statue, Cowles House, along Grand River Avenue and other locations across campus. The Rock was also painted in support of Guskiewicz. Overhead, a plane flew over campus with a sign reading the same "We Heart Kevin G" message.

"What really stood out with Kevin was his ability to listen and his ability to communicate," Gillespie said. "He just had a way about him that made you comfortable, and he wanted to listen to what your thoughts were, and he really cared. He was just a real person that wanted to make Michigan State a better place."

Gillespie Group had previously won the contract for the Spartan Gateway District before MSU scrapped the project. Now, the real-estate developer is one of three companies vying for a contract to begin construction for the Spartan Stadium District, a plan for mixed-use hotel, restaurant and student housing development nestled between MSU's athletic facilities along Shaw Lane.

Gillespie said there is no business motive behind the message for Guskiewicz, despite their potential role in future projects.

"Us putting signs up and painting the Rock, it's just a way of saying thanks and that we appreciate the President," Gillespie said. "There's no other motivation other than that."

The campaign comes two weeks after the announcement that Guskiewicz would leave MSU to assume the role of Clemson University's 16th president. It is currently unclear when Guskiewicz will start his term at Clemson.

Guskiewicz is yet to sign an official employment contract with Clemson after the South Carolina school approved the terms of his employment on May 27. Gillespie said he wants Guskiewicz to leave knowing the people loved him, but noted this initiative is not an attempt to bring back MSU's 22nd president.

Guskiewicz left MSU after voicing concerns with the Board of Trustees, pointing to divisions on the board as creating an "unsustainable situation" in a campus wide email sent the day of the announcement.

The Gillespie Group began reaching out on Sunday to large community institutions and state business partners to spread the word. Included in that group were the Izzo Legacy Foundation, the Lansing Chamber of Commerce, the MSU Alumni Association, Choose Lansing and other community stakeholders.

On Monday, organizers launched a website, weheartkevin.com, where supporters can download social media graphics and poster designs, as well as leave personal messages for Guskiewicz.

Unnamed users almost exclusively left positive comments for Guskiewicz.

"I'm so sorry our board has failed you," one user wrote. "My family has had 6 presidents in my brother and (my) 8 consecutive years here at MSU. You were really the one who made a huge impact on our school and student body after some rough years (of) leadership."

"President Guskiewicz, thank you for bringing credibility back to our presidency," another wrote. "You made Spartans believe not only can we aim higher, but we should. Michigan State is a better university because of you. You will be missed."

On Monday morning, the Izzo Legacy Foundation, headed by Lupe Izzo, supported the cause by reposting the message and urging others to join the mission.

The foundation did not organize the campaign, said Marcy Gillespie-Kinze, the executive director of the Izzo Legacy Foundation, but once the positive intent was understood, Lupe and Tom Izzo and the foundation supported it.

"(This is a) challenging time, but it doesn't have to be negative," Gillespie-Kinze said. "Dr. Guskiewicz certainly deserves the support, the positivity and the message of appreciation."

Gillespie-Kinze is not affiliated with the Gillespie Group.

In an email sent to the Izzo Legacy Foundation's approximately 25,000 subscribers, Tom and Lupe Izzo signed an email asking people to show their gratitude for the president and avoid the negative discourse surrounding Guskiewicz and his departure.

"Today, we feel called to support the We 💚 Kevin G campaign because we believe Michigan State needs strong, thoughtful and capable leadership now more than ever," Tom and Lupe Izzo wrote in the email.

The Michigan State University Department of Police and Public Safety disclosed the incidents under theJeanne Clery Campus Safety Act, which requires universities to publicly list reported criminal offenses and is subject to change as events are reported.
