<p>"Why do you think these kids are flunking out of Anne Arbor? Because they are stupid or because they are ill-prepared?"</p>
<p>Neither.....because UM does a poor job with educating URMs. Heck, in our experience, they screwed up before getting my son enrolled. </p>
<p>First, they placed him into a "support" program because of "something in his application" that indicated that he needed support. When he didn't enroll, they placed him in the Honors program. Hmmmm...first he needs support, then he's worthy of the Honors program...all within a span of 30 days and without any changed to his application. </p>
<p>If you ask me, UM needs to sit back and rethink their approach to URMs. It's a mess today.</p>
