<p>Detroit and the state of Michigan are in the toilet, as reported around world. The University of Michigan is in great shape financially (thanks to Dr. Shapiro’s genius), but to argue that (a public school) being surrounded by this bleak economic outlook has not had or will not have any impact to the school is pure fiction.</p>
<p>You’re telling me additional funding from a robust state wouldn’t help UM? You’re telling me positive stories about Detroit and the state of Michigan wouldn’t help UM? You’re telling me a 5% unemployment rate wouldn’t help UM? Well it’s a two way street.</p>
