Members of the Michigan State University Board of Trustees will debate John Engler's future at the school in a special open meeting at 8 a.m. Thursday. Board members confirmed the meeting, which as of 9:30 a.m. hadn't officially been posted.

"John Engler's reign of terror is over," said board member Brian Mosallam, who has been pushing for Engler's departure for nearly a year. "Michigan State University will be returned to its people."

It's a meeting that has brewing almost since the day Engler took over as interim president at his alma mater, stepping in for Lou Anna Simon.
