One of Kevin Guskiewicz’s biggest supporters has issued a statement following the president’s decision to remain at Michigan State. Michigan State men’s basketball coach Tom Izzo voiced his satisfaction with the move on Monday.

Kevin Guskiewicz decided to stay on as president of Michigan State University after a period of “deep personal reflection” about his commitment to the school and its future.

Guskiewicz said in his Monday statement that the outpouring of support “played an important role in my reflection and my conviction that this is where [my wife] Amy and I are meant to be.”
