There’s so much wrong with this it’s tough to know where to start. At least the football coach had the influence to shame them into doing the right thing. He shouldn’t have that much influence, but he shouldn’t need it for something like this anyway. Ugh. All’s well that ends well, I guess.
Well, you can’t expect anyone on the faculty or in admin to stand up, not in Ann Arbor (it rivals Berkeley, Boulder, Madison, and Austin for looniness).
