The Detroit Regional Chamber is delighted that Michigan State University President Kevin M. Guskiewicz has elected to remain at Michigan State University and continue to serve as its president.
Read the following statement from Chamber President and Chief Executive Officer Sandy K. Baruah below.
“The Detroit Regional Chamber is delighted that our state will continue to benefit from the leadership, perspective, and innovation mindset of Kevin Guskiewicz at the helm of Michigan State University.
While we celebrate this news, the Chamber remains concerned about the governance model of our three largest R1 universities. It should not be this difficult to retain world-class leadership at our most prestigious public universities.
Chamber leadership looks forward to President Guskiewicz’s leadership in our higher education system and on the Detroit Regional Chamber Board of Directors.
Instability in our R1 university leadership remains an unaddressed issue, and the Chamber will continue its push with policymakers and opinion-makers to reform this critical system.”
