I'm not sure Michigan State leadership is an example you really want to use."Michigan State’s Board of Trustees consists of eight members elected for staggered eight-year terms. And, get this, they are publicly elected by Michigan voters. Everyone in the state has the ability to vote for Michigan State trustees. Not just alums, and certainly not just a small group of appointees."
I could get behind this just for the entertainment value. I think Naren "the right people" Gursahaney's head would explode.
