Michael Schostak for U of M Regent

Had a great time visiting the Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce talking about the important role U-M plays in workforce development and the impact U-M Health has on the region. Go Blue! 〽️

Thank you Nikki Haley for putting on a spotlight on this issue. I wholeheartedly agree. Free speech is sacrosanct, but there is a time, manner and a place that must be respected. And this professor did not respect the thousands of Jewish and Israeli students, families, faculty and alumni when he used the Commencement stage to make a political statement. Instead of delivering a unifying message of congratulations, he chose to divide. As Amb. Haley says, there should be repercussions.

What happened at the University of Michigan is bigger than one speaker and it deserves more than an apology.

It’s well known Michigan has a large Jewish student body. The administration knew the speaker’s record and still handed him the mic—leaving those students isolated and targeted.

Protests on campus have repeatedly crossed the line: encampments, disrupted ceremonies, demonstrations at officials’ homes, clashes with police.

The first amendment must be protected but it doesn’t absolve anyone of consequences.

Universities have deep culture problems they must address. If they don’t, they should face repercussions.

What happened yesterday at the U-M Commencement was predictable and avoidable. Shame on the administration for letting this happen. Graduations are supposed to be one of the happiest moments in a young person's life, something they will always remember. Now, for many, that moment has been marred.

I released the following statement jointly with Lena Epstein who is also running for Regent.

My response to the MIDems convention. Regents should unite campus not divide it. That’s all I’m going to say about that. I am focused on my positive vision for U-M.

It’s Admissions Decision Week and for too many highly qualified Michigan high school seniors U-M will not be accessible. I am fighting to see more in-state students at U-M. Join me by sharing with your friends and followers!
