MSU donor files notice of intent against Board of Trustees, university fundraising arms

University donor Brian D. Posey and TM Leasing filed a notice of intent against the Michigan State University Board of Trustees, various university fundraising arms and agents, alleging they "breached" an agreement guaranteeing Posey season-ticket accounts, alongside other benefits, in exchange for his donation commitments, according to documents obtained by The State News. The notice of intent, filed on Sept. 24, lists Posey, The Ticket Machine and TM Leasing as claimants in the filing. Posey and The Ticket Machine have been "among the university's most substantial season-ticket customers and donors" for around thirty years, according to the notice of intent. Collectively, the filing alleges that they have purchased around $7 million in tickets and contributed approximately $1.5 million in donations in support of the football, basketball, hockey, volleyball, golf and marching band programs. Mavacy PLLC, the firm that is representing Trustee Rema Vassar in her current lawsuit against several members of the university, including President Kevin Guskiewicz, is representing the claimants. The notice of intent names the Board of Trustees, Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, Spartan Ticket Office, University Advancement and the Spartan Fund. The claim also includes Spartan Ventures, a non-profit entity. Associate Athletic Director Bryan Hoch and Senior Vice

Out-of-state students voted in Michigan. They shouldn't have. | Brady

Sophie Boyle is an out-of-state student. She moved from Westchester, New York, to Ann Arbor over the summer to begin her freshman year at the University of Michigan — just in time for her first election. She cast her ballot for Democrat Abdul El-Sayed. “They made it really easy here. I could switch my registration and vote all in one kind of process,” she said. “New York tends to lean left ... and Michigan is a very competitive, very crucial swing state. I knew that, in terms of where my vote would count more, Michigan was a more substantial place to vote.” Thousands of out-of-state students shared Boyle’s thought process, and most of them supported Democrats. It’s no surprise El-Sayed won Washtenaw County — which includes the University of Michigan — by a 50-point margin. To be clear, El-Sayed and others in his party would have triumphed last week even without the out-of-state vote, especially in overwhelmingly blue college towns like Ann Arbor and East Lansing. But this election was an anomaly. In normal times, without a historically unpopular president like Donald Trump in the White House, out-of-staters really can make a difference. That’s a problem. Elections have serious consequences.

MSUFCU commits $40 million to 'Uncommon Will, Far Better World' campaign

Michigan State University Federal Credit Union announced a commitment of $40 million for the $4 billion "Uncommon Will, Far Better World" campaign on Thursday. The commitment pushes the current total beyond the $2 billion halfway point, according to a press release. The 10-year commitment is a continuation of MSUFCU's over 40 years of support for the university, allowing it to "continue investing in people and programs across campus," according to the release. With the $40 million, MSUFCU's total support for MSU has reached $100 million, making it one of the university's "most generous donors." "This renewed commitment builds on that remarkable history and will help us empower the next generation of Spartans while strengthening the communities we serve," President Kevin Guskiewicz said in the Thursday release. The commitment is stated to be focused on community and connection, experiential learning, arts and culture and learning and student success at MSU. Within this, MSUFCU is pledging to support programs like Welcome to State and the Resource Center for Persons with Disabilities. "MSUFCU has a remarkable history of stepping forward at pivotal moments for Michigan State, and this continued commitment is another powerful example," said Kim Tobin, vice president of University Advancement, in

Normalizing bathroom passes threaten students’ independence and health

Going to the bathroom is a right, not a privilege. Yet, schools across the country have normalized restricting access to natural needs in favor of a more “organized system.” This system is not only impractical, but it comes off as condescending and even toes the line of endangering students.

Michigan, MSU fans donate 237 gallons of urine at 'Piss Off' for fertilizer research

For Trevor Peterson, the name alone was enough to sell him on the idea. Peterson and his friends waited in line for the "Piss Off," a research competition he learned aboutthrough social media. The name came up in the friends' group chat, and they instantly knew participation was mandatory while tailgating in Ann Arbor. "It's a little bit about the competition, but also at the same time, the competition is the fun part," Peterson said. "I'm also happy to provide research for the soil and fertilizer." However funny and gimmicky the promotion sounds, it worked. The researchers received exactly what they wanted: as much urine as they could get to turn into nutrient-rich fertilizer. The competition, organized by researchers at the University of Michigan and MSU, was designed for a process referred to as pee-cycling. Researchers at both universities are interested in extracting nutrients from human urine to eventually use it as a natural, nutrient-rich agricultural fertilizer. The fertilizer will be used at U-M's Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum and MSU's W.K. Kellogg Biological Station. In total, the "Piss Off" movement accumulated more than 237 gallons of urine. U-M fans won the competition by a final score of 137-100,

These Greater Lansing football teams are at their best at playoff time

Making deep runs in the Michigan High School Athletic Association football playoffs is no easy feat. While a majority of the football programs in Greater Lansing have captured a district championship or at least reached a district final since the MHSAA expanded its playoffs in 1999, the list is much shorter of teams that have taken it a step further and won multiple regional titles. DeWitt has led the area programs that have had the most success at this stage of the state tournament with seven regional championships in the past decade. That is more than all but four area programs have won since 1999. With five area teams competing for 11-player regional championships this week, here is a look at the most successful Greater Lansing schools at the regional stage of the MHSAA state tournament in the modern era of the playoffs. THE TOP 10 1. DeWitt ▶ Regional titles: 16 Deep runs have been the norm for the Panthers, who have been a model of consistency with their 16 regional championships. Four of those came in Division 4 — 2001, 2003, 2004 and 2006. DeWitt's other regional championships have come in Division 3 in 2002, 2009, 2010, 2012,
