Sadly the only reason this guy stands out is because he’s at MSU which is relatively conservative for a major university. Compared to Hillsdale college, MSU is like modern China but UofM is like the old Soviet bloc.
Fortunately in Michigan we get a vote on administration slots at MSU and UofM, now all we need to do is get conservatives to actually vote in those races and put conservatives in the top levels of those schools.
I'll have to vigorously disagree with "relatively conservative." They are a far left as any other university in the country.
Having grown up in East Lansing, and having a father on the faculty, and having graduated from MSU, and having read the State News for many years, and knowing Lou Anna Simon personally, and having been Facebook friends with the children of a generation of the faculty - I can say that MSU is as liberal as the day is long.
