These are my guiding principles if elected U-M Regent:
Did you know that 52% of students at U-M are not from Michigan? Our tax dollars support the university and our students should reap the benefits of that. I want to see 2/3 of undergraduates be from Michigan, and at least 50% of graduate students.
Make U-M for Michigan Again
Diversity of Thought
It’s well known that U-M campuses are a bastion of liberal thought. But preparing our students for the world they will enter into requires that they be exposed to a diversity of thought. This begins with hiring more conservative faculty to balance out the messaging to the students. Academic freedom is to be respected, but we do our students a disservice if they only hear one side of the story.
Protect Women’s Sports
Biological men should not be allowed to compete against biological women, it’s just that simple.
The cost of a college education continues to grow and is out of reach for so many. As Regents, we need to do everything we can to constrain costs so that we can limit increases to tuition.
