University of Michigan-Ann Arbor/Detroit Dilemma

<p>

</p>

<p>(i) So we all agree current economic woes are not a good thing [for the university], and (ii) we all agree a prosperous state and Detroit would benefit the university, yes?</p>

<p>(iii) If the economic woes aren’t good, what are they? If we’d be even better with a prosperous state-wide economy, how can a bleak economy have zero impact? You can’t just cherry pick good things and when things are bad claim it doesn’t matter.</p>
