'Reign of terror is over': John Engler to resign amid pressure from MSU board, dean
The Michigan State Board of Trustees reportedly has the votes to fire Interim President John Engler, if he doesnt resign beforehand, at an emergency board meeting scheduled for Thursday. The Detroit Free Press reported the news Wednesday morning.
Update, 3:15 p.m. ET: Engler will resign, according to a follow-up report by the Free Press. He faced criticism from the board, the public and the university with 23 of the schools top academic administrators, mostly deans, signing a letter to the board Wednesday demanding he be replaced.
The swift action is in answer to Englers comments that survivors of Larry Nassars abuse were enjoying the spotlight, only his latest remarks to receive heavy criticism.
Report: Board asks Engler to resign
At least five of the eight board members are prepared to vote in favor of firing Engler, per the Detroit Free Press. The meeting is scheduled for Thursday at 8 a.m., eight days after the boards regular January meeting was held. It is the only thing on the agenda, published Wednesday morning.

and I wondered what ever became of him. What I remember most is that when he said something stupid and people reacted, he would take a picture with his triplet daughters.
What a waste of oxygen.
