EAST LANSING, Mich. — Michigan State University is expected to name Stony Brook University head Samuel Stanley, Jr. as the university's 21st president Tuesday morning, according to reports.
Last week, the MSU Board of Trustees scheduled a 10 a.m. special meeting for Tuesday, May 28 for personnel action.
According to reports, trustees are expected to vote on approving Stanley to become the new MSU president.
According to Stony Brook's website, Stanley became the fifth president of the university on July 1, 2009.
Stanley would succeed Satish Udpa, who was appointed in Jan. 2019 after former interim president John Engler resigned amid criticism for making controversial comments about some survivors of former MSU sports doctor and convicted sexual abuser Larry Nassar.
Engler was appointed by trustees after former Michigan State University President Lou Anna K. Simon resigned amid outrage over the way she handled the Nassar scandal at the university.
The MSU Board of Trustees is set to meet Tuesday at 10 a.m. on the fourth floor of the Hannah Administration Building. The meeting is open to the public but the public will not be allowed to speak.
