president

With the announcement Monday that Superintendent of Public Instruction Mike Flanagan would not be a finalist for president of Eastern Michigan University, he told the State Board of Education at its meeting Tuesday that he was not planning to leave his current post.
"You're kinda stuck with me," Mr. Flanagan told the board, drawing applause from board members and department staff. "I love working with the state board and this team."
"I'm glad it's behind us," said board President Kathleen Straus (D-Bloomfield Township).

Public interviews are being staged this week to find a new president for the embattled Eastern Michigan University. Gov. Jennifer GRANHOLM is tossing her support behind state Superintendent Mike FLANAGAN.
Flanagan, who does not have a doctorate or any higher education experience, made the final four and was interviewed for the vacancy this week.
The Governor, through her media secretary, made her choice very clear to the eight members of the EMU board, seven of whom she has appointed.
