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.

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,

Hillsdale grad builds ultra-fast computer mapping library

Hillsdale College graduate Isaac Myhal recently developed a computer mapping library that he found outperformed several established tools during testing with C++. The project grew out of the alum's senior thesis in computer science, according to a community announcement. In the wake of his creation, he's made the library available for public use . A mapping system allows computers to use one piece of information to retrieve another, such as looking up a word to find a definition or a name to find an address. All computers rely on mapping for tasks ranging from loading web pages to supporting programming languages. Myhal built the library using features available in the programming language C++. More: Hillsdale College will establish new program for Corps of Cadets “The work (Myhal) and his advisor Dr. Oliver Serang did here ranks among the most impressive research projects students have done in our department,” wrote Associate Professor of Computer Science John Seiffertt. — Contact reporter Evan Sasiela at esasiela@usatodayco.com .

Guest Commentary: MSU should reject 'the Putin violinist'

Michigan State University's College of Music will host a virtual masterclass with controversial Kremlin connected violinist, Vadim Repin on Nov. 11. Students should question why MSU is hosting the so-called "Putin violinist." The Kremlin portrays artists like Vadim Repin as a way of presenting the positive side of Russian culture to cover up their invasion of Ukraine. This soft weapon technique is aimed at removing crippling economic sanctions and forgiveness of 227,000 war crimes . Repin portrays himself as apolitical but he reeks of Kremlin influence. His sanctioned wife Svetlana Zakharova is with the ruling United Russia party. She previously endorsed Russia's invasion of Crimea along with 500 other artists. Then in April 2025, Repin participated in a concert broadcasted to Crimea , perceived as a validation of Russia's illegal occupation of the peninsula. In April 2022, Repin was awarded "People's Artist of Russia" by Putin. His arts festival has received funding from Putin's cultural initiatives fund and he recently applied for a $1.2 million dollar grant. Critics allege this fund supports Russian nationalism and aggression. Repin's acceptance of Russian state financial incentives and awards obligates his silence about Russia's war. Any doubts that Repin is a Kremlin propagandist were

Free speech lawsuit challenges Michigan State University's trustee ethics code

(The Center Square) – Michigan State University is facing a federal lawsuit challenging recent revisions to its Board of Trustees’ code of ethics. The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, a national nonprofit organization, is representing university trustee Michael Balow in the lawsuit. “MSU’s revised code censors dissent,” said FIRE attorney Heather Pincus. “If a trustee criticizes a board decision, the trustee could suffer serious consequences, up to referral for removal from office. But if a trustee praises a board decision, the code imposes no consequences. That’s viewpoint discrimination, which the First Amendment forbids.” The revised policy requires trustees to “uphold the university’s reputation” and states trustees “will not undermine and will support the majority decision of the board.” It also requires trustees to raise concerns in “appropriate settings” before board action and sign an acknowledgement agreeing to comply or face sanctions. “But what exactly does ‘undermine’ mean, and who gets to decide?” said Balow. "The majority of the board? The amended code also requires that we will ‘not provide inaccurate, misleading, or false information concerning the University.' But who gets to decide what is ‘inaccurate’? Again, the majority of the board?” According to the foundation, the revisions were made
