Michigan State is in the process of attempting to fire Tucker for cause in the wake of a sexual misconduct complaint brought by Brenda Tracy, a sexual assault awareness speaker. The university opened a sexual misconduct investigation against Tucker in December 2022. The case to decide if he violated university policy is scheduled to go to a hearing in the first week of October.
Tucker and his lawyers claim the school's investigation into Tracy's sexual harassment claims against him has been"terribly flawed, unfair, biased, and devoid of due process." The actual letter from the attorneys is 12 pages, and it concludes by saying that the university lacks cause to terminate Tucker's contract.
