- 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.
