#1 Well, at least My alma mater aren't complete wankers. Now if they'd just dump their racial preferences, I might donate again...

#4 I presume, and hope, that the pro-Israel community there launched a truth telling campaign that swayed the reps.

And of coures the events in the ME help. Its makes you look bad to be more fanatical than the PA.

#5 âThis resolution is about academic freedom, and the right to know whether the businesses that the University invests in realize international human rights principles and business ethics,â said Nadine Naber, professor of American Culture and Womenâs Studies.

Not a professor of logic or grammar.

#7 I wonder if the liberal academicians will demand that someone overturn and reverse the democratic vote, and just declare that UofM divest, because (a) The students didn't understand what they were voting for; or (b) The votes were incorrectly tallied and the ballots were confusing; or (c) Non-students, the public at large, and convicted felons in prison should have been allowed to vote; or (d) That it doesn't matter what the students want, only what the faculty senate and the administration want, based on what they know to be in the best interest of the students; or (e) All of the above.
