- June Youatt, Michigan State University Provost, talks about her experience with the MSU Faculty Grievance Policy (FGP), Faculty Grievance Officials (FGO), and fallout from the recent Dr. Larry Nassar sexual assault scandal which she says has caused a loss of faith by MSU faculty in the university's central administration. She says that she has so far not over-ridden any faculty grievance hearing panel recommendations, that there is more reliance on the advice of the university's General Counsel in grievance matters, and that some university administrators are being extra cautious about taking actions which might result in a grievance even being filed.
