EAST LANSING — In the months after the Feb. 13, 2023, mass shooting on Michigan State University’s campus, community members and university alumni donated about $2.6 million to the Spartan Strong Fund.
Almost a year later, the school has released some financial records about how nearly $1.5 million has been or will be spent, but has refused to detail more specifically how the donations have been used.
In response to a public records request last fall from the State Journal, officials included the “purpose” category in a spending summary with some redactions for privacy. In another public records request received last month, the university changed the way it reports spending of the donations, including less information.
