EAST LANSING (AP) — Former Michigan Gov. John Engler will donate his salary while serving as Michigan State University’s interim president amid fallout over a now-imprisoned sports doctor who sexually assaulted female athletes.
The university’s board of trustees says Engler’s annual salary will be $510,399. He agreed his salary would go back to the school in East Lansing.
Engler’s predecessor, Lou Anna Simon, resigned in January amid criticism of the university’s handling of issues related to Larry Nassar.
The former doctor worked for Michigan State and USA. Gymnastics, which trains Olympians. More than 250 women and girls gave statements in court about how Nassar abused them under the guise of medical treatment. He was sentenced to decades in prison.
