The president of Michigan State University says he is resigning, three years after he was hired in the wake of the Larry Nassar sexual assault scandal.
Crain's Detroit Business, citing school records, reported in September that Gupta was accused of failing to disclose that a colleague in the business school may have inappropriately touched a student at an April end-of-year party. Gupta told Crain's that he believed steps to start an investigation had been taken.
“They’re going to need to have great leadership. I thought they had great leadership and now, obviously, there will be a change there,” Whitmer said. The school was trying to recover from a scandal involving Nassar, a campus sports doctor, who was accused of sexually assaulting hundreds of women and girls, including Olympic gymnasts, at Michigan State, a local gymnastics club and USA Gymnastics. He pleaded guilty and is serving decades in prison.
