EAST LANSING, MI — There’s further proof that certain members of the Michigan State University Board of Trustees do not get along. Former Board of Trustees chair Rema Vassar, D-Detroit, gave a middle finger gesture March 3 during a zoom meeting with other board members, according to a recently concluded university investigation as reported by the Lansing State Journal.
It’s the same meeting in which six of her fellow board members voted to censure her and ask Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to remove her from office, the university investigation found. The MSU Office of Audit, Risk and Compliance (OARC) conducted the investigation.
Vassar raised her middle finger while her fellow Trustees Brianna Scott and Dianne Byrum were speaking, according to LSJ. “OARC staff review of the video clearly identifies the explicit gesture (displaying middle finger),” the report states.
