Michigan State faces 'ethical minefield' as donors pay president's salary

Donors paying a university president's salary raise is nothing out of the ordinary, but the way Michigan State University President Kevin Guskiewicz is being paid is raising questions about potential conflicts of interest and who the president is actually accountable to. Experts in university presidential salaries and university governance who spoke to The Detroit News said they had never seen anything like the limited liability corporation, or LLC, created and organized by two prominent MSU donors: Ben Maibach and Alan Ross. The LLC, called the Presidential Spartan Fund, gives Guskiewicz's office $500,000 annually through gifts from 20 donors, increasing his salary to $1.5 million annually. It's not unusual for private philanthropy to subsidize a president's salary, said Armand Alacbay, the senior vice president of strategy for the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, which advocates for academic excellence, academic freedom and accountability at the nation's colleges and universities. However, this money normally comes through a university foundation where a board can ensure the money is being spent for the mission of the university, he said.

Howell Voters Approve District's Non-Homestead Operating Millage Renewal

Howell Public Schools is thanking voters for passing the district's non-homestead operating millage renewal Tuesday:. "Howell Public Schools is grateful for the support of district residents in approving both the non-homestead operating millage renewal and restoration proposals in the Nov. 3 election.

Brickbat: A Lack of Trustee

Michigan State University Trustee Mike Balow has filed a federal lawsuit against Board Chair Brianna Scott and Board Secretary Stefan Fletcher, claiming the university's revised ethics code violates his First Amendment rights. The code, adopted in May, prohibits trustees from publicly criticizing decisions made by the board majority and requires them to support the university's official positions. Balow and fellow trustee Rema Vassar refused to sign the code and were censured in June, losing certain board member privileges. Balow argues that the rules let trustees praise university leaders but punish them for criticizing their decisions, making it harder to provide independent oversight. He has previously questioned the university's handling of the Larry Nassar sexual abuse scandal. His lawsuit seeks to find the code unconstitutional and end its enforcement.
