MSU urged to delay vote

Pressure is mounting on Michigan State University\'s Board of Trustees to delay a vote expected Friday on where it will place a satellite campus for its osteopathic school in metro Detroit. Delaying the vote is being pushed by the leadership of Wayne State University, at least one MSU board member, medical school student leaders at three Michigan schools and Dr. Joe Schwarz, head of a medical education committee for the Detroit Regional Chamber and Detroit Renaissance. \"I think it should be delayed,\" Schwarz said Friday about the MSU vote. \"We need to decide what\'s best for health care in the city of Detroit and for its citizens... and how to provide the best quality medical education for students.\" Schwarz\'s group is to meet in full for the first time Monday, the same day Wayne State University President Irvin D. Reid and Eugene Driker, chair of the WSU Board of Governors, meet with MSU leaders about MSU\'s plans to create a metro Detroit campus for 200 students. A photo of Wayne State University President Irvin D. Reid is included.
