he University of Michigan has fired its $927,000-a-year president for having an affair with a subordinate, a year after implementing wide sexual misconduct rules to stop people in power sleeping with their staff.
Mark Schlissel, 64, was informed in a letter on Saturday that he was being fired from the role he has held since July 2014. The university has also made public 118 pages of emails between him and the woman he had an affair with. She is not named and it's unclear how their romance came to light.
Among his pick-up lines are: 'Can I lure you to visit with the promise of a knish?’ and screenshots of take-out pizza receipts which he said were 'to whet your appetite. And tell you what's for dinner too.'

Maybe the university can scale down that salary with the next president they hire.
Sorry, the woman should be identified and fired. It takes two to tango.
I don’t even know what knish is.
My game is weak!
Yup. Talk about easy. And he should have tried potato pancakes. Works everytime. LOL! Another viewpoint from the Times Of Israel:
Jewish like thing deep fried dough with stuff in it
Democrat extraordinare.
“screenshots of take-out pizza receipts which he said were ‘to whet your appetite. And tell you what’s for dinner too.”
A relationship based on pizza? That’s the romance novel I would read.
he should’ve deleted the emails.
then they would’ve been gone forever!
right?
The only way to put a stop to it is to ALSO fire the woman, every time, regardless.
Otherwise you have women like Kamala sleeping their ways into promotions.
Might have been cheaper to get his hankering for knish from a street vendor.
Pictures? She must be awfully hot to risk a $927k a year salary!
It is a snack food which apparently has aphrodisiacal or catnip-like qualities.
I’m assuming she won’t be because she was his subordinate.
This sums up why we are where we are. “Everybody needs a free college education” so a $927K salaried, morally bankrupt state college president can administer that education.
Expensive ****
He should be fired for the cheesy pick up lines. The dude is paid a million annually by state gubmint and the best he can come up is “Can I lure you with a knish?” She should be fired for giving it up for a knish.
My reaction exactly. He wasn’t assaulting or harassing her, at least the article fails to suggest it. So, as an employee of the University she has brought embarrassment to the institution as well.
It’s only harassment if you’re using your position to get what you want, and that usually requires you to be in a supervisory position. The employee who’s in the subordinate position is theoretically a victim. Of course it’s not necessarily the case but that’s the logic of these laws.
“Sorry, the woman should be identified and fired. It takes two to tango.”
I worked at Honeywell back in the ‘80’s. I saw my boss’ boss, who was married, chase his secretary around the desk. She slept with him in the hopes it would cool the whole thing down. It didn’t and she quit. There were affairs all the time and when they came out, the woman was the one fired. The only time they were both fired was when a woman’s husband showed up at midnight with a pump 12 ga and politely asked the guard, “Where’s Lolla?” The guard responded, “Beam Q47.” (He didn’t even lie.) THEN, they fired both of them. (She was out in the man’s van boinking. The Sheriff’s deputies arrested the man without incident.) A fellow female employee said to me in shock, “I can’t believe they fired him too!”
