Whitmer's statement came after two trustees over the weekend said they would support the ouster of board chair Rema Vassar. Separately, MSU apologized after an image of Adolf Hitler was displayed on the scoreboard before the Michigan-MSU football game Saturday night.

Officials said it was part of a quiz by an outside contractor that provides pregame content.

Some critics say the school should have acted months ago. The latest turmoil involves MSU's governing board. Trustee Brianna Scott accused Vassar of "bullying" other trustees in her role as chair and unilaterally trying to negotiate a settlement with a dean who was forced out in 2022.
