Washington ― U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow and former Michigan Gov. Jim Blanchard on Tuesday called for embattled Michigan State University Board Chair Rema Vassar to step down amid allegations that she has bullied administrators and fellow board members.

Stabenow, who holds two degrees from MSU, released a statement saying that the allegations against Vassar this week are "extremely serious" and that the university needs the "right leadership" in this difficult period.

"I sincerely believe it’s in the best interest of the University and our state for her to resign from the board immediately," Stabenow, D-Lansing, said in the statement.

“For the MSU community to move forward, we need new leadership we can all trust. This means board members must comply with all parts of any investigations into the deeply disturbing incidents involving the university over the last few months. It’s time for new leadership and a new start for a great school ― Michigan State University.”

Seems like a good start, especially since that whole Adolf Hitler picture and trivia question splashed on the stadium Jumbotron during the Michigan - Michigan State game last Saturday. Too many unforced errors. A fish rots from the head down.
