The Michigan State University College of Law will be fully integrated into MSU over the next year and a half.
Scott Pohl reports.
MSU affiliated with the law school 23 years ago, and Dean Lawrence Ponoroff says in a statement that full integration is “the next logical step.”
Trustee Dianne Byrum:
“The law school’s board is aware of this, and I have heard no pushback whatsoever from them."
Interim MSU President John Engler says that while the current law school board will be dissolved, he hopes there will be an advisory committee working with the university.
The fervor of anti-Engler and anti-Trustees protesters took a new approach at the Trustees meeting. To get around a ban on protest signs, several bedsheet banners were snuck into the meeting and unfurled while Engler spoke.
