    Misplaced faith I think (none / 0) (#1)

    The People's U of M holds a special place in the hearts of many Michiganians. Many people who would never have been admitted to UM for whatever reason are rabid Michigan sports fans and gladly show their loyalty by purchasing licensed merchandise of which the M gets a kickback. Just try and suggest to any rabid UM supporter, sports or otherwise, that maybe perhaps public funding of their private club should come to an end. That just isn't to be heard of. The institution that bills itself as the Harvard of the West doesn't take it all the way and become a private self sustaining university as is Harvard.
    A recent move afoot in one of the houses of the state legislature to limit funding to schools, including UM, that signed long term union contracts which essentially did an end around of RTW was met with strong resistance by, among others, the UM alum Jennif...er, uh Rick Snyder. The point could be made that Snyder will hopefully be done after '14 and a new governor might go along with defunding UM with state dollars. Except that history shows us that every governor in recent memory, alum or not, has benefited from in some way, and been supportive of the Patrice Lumumba University clone in AA. We're paying for a Pure Michigan ad running right now which, while not specifically naming UM, does highlight Moscow on the Huron. The implication is there.
    MCRI is in the US Supreme Court right now. That was the place that was going to stop MaoBamaCare dead in its tracks. Are we confident that court will do the right thing?
    As despicable as Coleman is, she is only the very effective fuehrer of the People's University of Michigan. It is the PUM that wields the eternal power and will continue to do what it likes at our expense.
