What is The State - A Podcast from The State News + Impact 89FM?
The State is a daily rundown of the headlines that matter to the East Lansing, MI community.
Hi, and welcome to the state podcast. I'm your host, Rebecca McVoy. Today's date is 10/08/2025. The forecast predicts that will be a cool day with a high being 60 and the low of being 43. The state podcast is a daily podcast that brings you the stories that matter.
Speaker 1:Starting today off with on campus MSU news. MSU wants you to judge the speed of harassment and discrimination investigations. MSU's Office for Civil Rights Title IX Education and Compliance has released an online dashboard Wednesday that displays information about how long the university takes to conduct investigations, the type of conduct reported most frequently, and the status of open cases. University officials say giving the public access to that kind of data reflects MSU's commitment to improving its processing times, which have been heavily criticized for their slow pace. MSU's surplus store kicks off sustainability month with Fall Fest.
Speaker 1:MSU's Surplus Store and Recycling Center held Fall Fest from noon to four on Saturday at the center. The event featured pumpkin carving, upcycle crafts, a clothing swap, tours of the recycling center, tech takedown, and more. Many organizations had booths at the festival as well. The MSU Office of Sustainability invited attendees to partake in MSU's trivia and give feedback on sustainability at MSU. The MSU Museum provided used materials to show the elements that go into making a cell phone, encouraging conversations about sustainability and mining.
Speaker 1:Now moving on to sports news. MSU receives decommitment from four star wide receiver Tyron Wortham. Four star wide receiver Tyron Wortham has decommitted from Michigan State and decided to reopen his recruitment. MSU's football recent losses have raised concerns not only from the fan base, but also from recruits. That was made very clear by Wirtham's decommitment Monday morning.
Speaker 1:In the current college football landscape, it's rare for coveted players to stick with their original commitments. One of the best ways to keep them is simple: winning, something MSU will look to get back in the coming weeks. Michigan State Woman's Tennis struggles at the Michigan State Classic. In East Lansing, over the weekend, Michigan State Women's Tennis hosted the Michigan State Classic presented by Auto Owners Insurance. The Classic was hosted at the MSU Outdoor Rec Tennis course right off Folsom Road.
Speaker 1:Visiting teams were DePaul University, University of Michigan, Northwestern University, and Western Michigan University. The round started off Friday, with lasting until the afternoon and singles starting at 01:30PM. Senior Izzy Purser and freshman Nina Pillhall defeated a WMU duo. However, they were defeated by a team from Michigan in the second set. Thank you for joining us today for The State, produced by The State News and Impact eighty nine FM.
