MSU Awash in Scandals, Mismanagement, Secrecy
editThe article is omitting an enormous amount of negative media coverage focused on Michigan State University over the past 4 decades. Examples include Larry Nassar sexual assault cases and coverup, an athletic department plagued by accusations of violence for decades, MSU being repeatedly listed as one of the most "secretive institutions in America" as determined by its resistance to responding to Freedom of Information Act requests, and the MSU Board of Trustee being out of touch with the needs of students and faculty and repeatedly receiving votes of no confidence in them over decades of mismanagement, and a university obsessed with its football program over educational priorities -- paying $95 million to its head coach, etc. 217.180.219.219 (talk) 21:23, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
Dick Martin an alumnus? Not merely unsubstantiated, but unequivocally refuted by R&M themselves
editFrom the extensive profile/interview published in the Sep '68 issue of GQ:
"AND NOW, FOLKS, IT'S SOCK-IT-TO-ME TIME". Gentlemen's Quarterly. September 1968. p. 124. ProQuest 2414375130. 'We used to have bios written up,' Dan Rowan said, 'but they always included things like Dick having been a journalism major at Michigan State University, and so on. Lies. Dick didn't go to that school, and he didn't study journalism. Then we played a club in East Lansing, I think it was, and people came up to him and asked him, Were you in the class of so-and-so? That was when we decided, no more bios.' 'When I have the next bio done, I'll get Philip Wylie to write it,' Dick said, grinning.
