[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The University of Michigan is now a synonym for cheating.  [/quote]

No, it's not.[/quote]

OP clearly had other intentions starting this post as a troll/poser. Unfortunately, DCUM is too smart for that. The actions of one man do not reflect an entire university and the actions of a football coach have zero impact on the academic integrity. I feel sorry for the victim and for Moore’s family. I’m glad the university acted swiftly and removed an individual who does not represent the values of the school. [/quote]

OP here. Proud alum of Michigan EECS and attended every home game from 99–03 during Carr/Brady/Henson era. No other intentions beyond hearing from an academic-focused, non-football crowd away from A2.[/quote]
DP. If it reassures you, my junior, female interested in ME from out of state, not only wouldn't care about this scandal, but is unlikely to ever hear about it unless I tell her, or unless she gets in and starts paying attention to football. The school's reputation in engineering is intact.[/quote]

There is no way that students aren't talking about this. Maybe she doesn't care, but this is a huge nationwide story and surely being talked about even "ME out of state students"[/quote]
Not by my kid, who is the above real-life ME out of state prospective applicant.

Really, though, what aspect of this is a stain on a school - of what, 30k undergrads? - that is going to keep applicants away? This one jerk is a spec of dust, who is not only gone but wasn't involved with academics in the first place.

Selfishly, I hope you are right, that applicants are kept away in droves, leaving my kid a higher chance of admission.[/quote]

If your kid is interested in Maine, why do you care?  [/quote]
