    Midweek, a lot more going on in Lansing than you might think based on the few posts locally.  Of course D Conservative has put a bit of work into his Redistricting analysis cross posted to us from The Western Right But who else is talking Michigan politics?

    Start with Jack McHugh of the Mackinac Center, who thinks the DRIC discussion isn't one to embrace with Four Reasons Why the Tea Party Should Ignore Detroit Bridge Controversy

    At the Bottoms Up Blog, there is a Tea Party Report from Oceana County's Sunday gathering.  Also a report and pictures from Saturday's affair in Lansing

    K-12 School funding suffering at the hands of Snyder?  To give to 'higher education"? A Conservative Teacher thinks so.

    Over at The Rougblog, the motor city described as a city governed by the delusional lives in a state of delusion

    Traverse City Schools move a meeting to a never used time to avoid public input and objection. Bill at TCFamily.org thinks so as the LBGT agenda moves forward in Northern Michigan.

    And if you didn't see the post over at MTTM, a Seriously Condescending Upton Man gets all smart alecky with a constituent.

    If you know of any blogs not listed here that have to do with Michigan politics, then add them in the comments.

    Higher Education (none / 0) (#1)

    The People's University of Michigan was in the forefront of opposition to the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative a few years back. They wanted to reserve the right to discriminate on behalf of minority applicants for admission against white kids. They wanted to pick winners. Many other state colleges and universities were firmly on the anti-MCRI bandwagon.

    The People's University of Michigan has a recent past history of collective bargaining with graduate assistants who teach classes while the Profs are off on one boondoggle or another--sabaticals, research, writing books..... In essence two people are paid to teach one class. This system probably exists at other state schools.

    The People's University of Michigan has one of the top highest paid presidents of all the "public" universities in the country and the highest paid in the state. Lou Anna Simon at MSU is the second highest paid in the State.

    The People's University of Michigan styles itself as the Harvard of the West. Harvard is not a "public" university.

    The People's University of Michigan, and all of the other "public" colleges and universities, receive lots of taxpayer dollars annually.

    Seems that there may be an opportunity for savings in the "higher" education portion of the aristocracy. Whether that money needs to be redistributed to the community schools is debatable.
