Most instruction is done by TA’s, many of whom struggle to speak English.

I switched from University of Michigan to Michigan State while working on my engineering degree largely over this reason. What is the point of going to a supposedly more "elite" university if the actual classroom experience consists of struggling to comprehend all the non-English speaking instructors?

We learned last night that folks at The University of Michigan can’t count.

Exactly. Universities chase “famous” people, not because they can teach, but because they can bring in research money. Very few of these “famous” educators are great teachers. There are exceptions: Milton Friedman and Thomas Sowell for example.
