I didn’t suggest anything. Curious you infer University of Michigan over Michigan State too but that’s not my problem. - OP

Really? If this was a professor at Mount St. Mary’s, it would be passing strange for you to write as the subject line “Tenured Maryland professor...” because everyone would immediately assume University of Maryland. Same thing if it was James Madison prof and you wrote “Tenured Virginia professor...” And if it was a Michigan State professor, I would expect someone to write “Tenured Michigan State professor” because, that’s the university that would have given him tenure.

Nope. If someone said Tenured DC Professor I’d click on the thread to find out which one - Georgetown, American, GWU, Howard etc

See pp. In the State of Michigan, the University of Michigan is referred to as “Michigan”. It’s funny that you’re being so stubborn about this. Maybe that’s your problem.

Because DC doesn’t have a state university where people refer to such university by the name of the state. Wow, you’re a dense one.

This is not a Michigan website and I do not live on Michigan - so don’t care.

Well, going back to your original response, you did “suggest” something even if you aren’t well-informed enough to have known it. And my “inference” was reasonable, whether you care or not and regardless of how curious you might think it is.

Because everyone knows about the UDC. Seriously, the first thing I thought of was the University of Michigan. I’m pretty sure most other knowledgeable posters would have thought the same thing.

+1. I’m sure it was intentional to get people to read it. Who cares about some no name college.

Michigan = University of Michigan. Obviously. Come on, OP.

+1 but who cares! I’d love that video if it was University of the middle of the ocean.

To be fair, DS is post grad at U Mich and the undergrads do sound like they are unbelievably reckless in a hard hit state during a pandemic …

However, this professor is abusing the tenure system. Tenure is supposed to protect academic freedom to research and teach controversial Intellectual Positions not to lose any shred of self Control and dignity in a profundity laced rant against the youth who have worked hard (and paid a fortune for OOS students) to be taught by him …

Does Ferris State have a lot of OOS students? What’s the appeal for OOS?

…which has nothing to do with this professor. All universities have undergraduates who are, “unbelievably reckless.”

I think you've missed the whole thread's discussion of the fact that this is NOT a professor at the University of Michigan. (See, OP? You've created confusion that's brought a consideration about OOS that doesn't apply here. I can't imagine there are very many OOS students there at all. It's not that kind of a school.)

To be fair that you would even suggest that Ferris State University has a sizable amount of OOS students, tells me you still think this story was about a tenured professor at Michigan. That’s why so many posters objected to the title of this discussion.
