The interim president of Michigan State University is resigning, according to the chairwoman of the university’s trustees, and becomes the school’s second leader to step down under pressure because of the scandal involving a university physician accused of sexual abusing dozens of girls and women.


John Engler, a former Michigan governor, is quitting amid outrage over comments he made about women who were sexually abused by the disgraced former doctor.

Trustee Brian Mosallam said in an interview Wednesday that trustees would vote Thursday to terminate Engler if he did not resign.

Engler said the next president will have many challenges but work has been done so that person can come in and look ahead.

But he acknowledged it's been a tough time, "very emotional."

"You’ve got people, they are hanging on and this has been … there are a lot of people who are touched by this, survivors who haven’t been in the spotlight," Engler said. "In some ways they have been able to deal with this better than the ones who’ve been in the spotlight who are still enjoying that moment at times, you know, the awards and recognition. And it’s ending. It’s almost done.”
