DO NOT PUBLISH: Michigan State to reveal new president's name Tuesday after top-secret hiring process

Michigan State University's board will hold a special meeting at 10 a.m. Tuesday to hire a new president.

The new president will replace current acting President Satish Udpa, who succeeded interim President John Engler. Engler, a former Michigan governor, was forced out of office for his treatment of Larry Nassar survivors. Engler was replacing Lou Anna Simon, who was forced out amid the Nassar scandal.

Simon is facing criminal charges of lying to police in their investigation of Nassar's sexual abuse of hundreds of young women in his role as a sports medicine doctor. He's serving what effectively is a life term.
