U. Michigan President Hid Emails in Which He Insulted Campus Trump Supporters

Can you imagine how difficult it must be to be a college student who supports Trump in our current academic environment?

University Of Michigan President Insults Trump Supporters In Emails He Tried To Hide

The president of the taxpayer-funded University of Michigan, Mark Schlissel, wrote in an email that he found it “ironic” when students who supported Donald Trump felt “marginalized and ostracized” on campus after the 2016 presidential election. A few months earlier, Schlissel wrote in another email that he “would feel awful if Trump won the election” and seemed to suggest that he wanted to use his taxpayer-funded job to defeat Trump.

Schlissel then refused to release the emails — and others — in which he disparaged Trump and Trump’s supporters.

On Wednesday, the Mackinac Center for Public Policy reached a settlement over the University of Michigan’s refusal to release the emails. The Michigan free-market group had sued the public school in March. In the settlement, the Michigan officials agreed to release Schlissel’s emails they had previously withheld in response to the Mackinac Center’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.

In a Nov. 11 email — three days after the election — Schlissel told the chancellor at the University of Michigan–Dearborn that there was “some complaint from our minority of Trump supporters who now feel marginalized and ostracized in our campus milieu and post election activity.”
