- Description:
- In the second of a two part interview, Dr. Walter Adams, former interim President of Michigan State University and professor of economics, continues to discuss his career at MSU and the beginnings of the School of Labor and Industrial Relations (SLIR). Adams remembers a politically driven investigation of SLIR when the business community felt MSU was providing too much assistance to labor organizations, recounts an episode during the McCarthy era when a threat to the university was beaten back by John Hannah and explains how SLIR joined the College of Social Science rather than the business school. Adams also talks about his book "The test", his experiences as interim university president, his opposition to the Vietnam War and why he marched to the state capital with students on October 15, 1969, and efforts to unionize MSU faculty and the creation of a faculty grievance process. Adams says that he often spoke out on campus controversies and frequently had the ear of John Hannah and that he feels that the quality of the MSU administration has declined in the last ten to fifteen years. Adams is interviewed by MSU Professor of Labor and Industrial Relations John Revitte.

- 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.

Youatt is interviewed by Robert Banks, former MSU Vice President for Academic Human Resources and John Revitte, former MSU professor of Human Resources and Labor Relations.
