EAST LANSING, MI — At a hastily called Michigan State University Board of Trustees special meeting Sunday evening, trustees of the school voted to recommend doubling the salary of President Kevin Guskiewicz to possibly prevent him from leaving the school, according to various media reports. The new contract will need final approval of the Budget and Finance Committee
The last minute resolution would increase Guskiewicz’s salary to $2 million annually and gives him a boost in deferred compensation, from $200,000 annually to $250,000.
The board met over Zoom for the meeting, which wasn’t called until Saturday evening. The board on Sunday gave no explanation why the meeting was ramped up so quickly, fueling further speculation Guskiewicz was prepared to bolt the East Lansing school.
The MSU board also adopted new non-disclosure agreement for trustees.
