Charles Blackwell is a piece of shit: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/ ... 736373001/
While he is an idiot for not having a lawyer and he seems to be a little bit of a piece of work…. He has a point. I’d like to know who the woman was and what position she was in exactly. Especially if public resources were used to carry on the affair. That’s the kind of thing we used to get on the evening news every night for a week straight in gory details.
It's out there. The president's direct reports are listed, and you can Google the names.

Man, the Regents really mother-fucked Schlissel for not being a yes man: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/ ... 745189002/
"The relationship was entirely consensual, was never physical, and did not involve the inappropriate spending of university resources," the former UM president added.

Santa is real! :)

Seems like a good choice; time will tell.

I'm just glad Mary Sue is gone.

She will serve as an advisor for 2 months after Santa starts. I'll be interested to see when that is, but I'll predict mid-August.

It will be interesting if he ever addresses how Asian students fare in the UM admission quota system. I used to go the Shapiro library to do research on Sunday mornings and see almost all Asian students.

"They hired a Chinaman?!?"

---Fielding Yost
My mom was born in 1918 and grew up in Chicago during the Great Depression.
"Chinaman" was a phrase she began to use as her Alzheimer's began to advance.
I never heard her use the term before the disease. But often people revert back or remember things from decades ago while not being in the here and now.

Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature

My neighbor who passed away a couple years ago used that term. Drove me nuts.

That being said, U-M does have an affirmative action problem. It's part of the reason I didn't bother applying there.


They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.

Ultimately this is the dumpster fire that Lou left to get cleaned up. Now a days she's terrorizing her condo board downtown T.C.
