University of Michigan Follow up

Hat tip Amcha Initiative

"Faculty may not reward students because they are politically like-minded. Nor may faculty deprive students of equal opportunity and fair evaluation because they disagree politically. Nor may faculty help students pursue future educational and professional opportunities because they politically approve of the students’ aspirations, or refuse to help because they politically disapprove."


The University of Michigan has been embroiled in a controversy the past several months over two professors who refused to write letters of recommendation for students who wanted to study abroad in Israel. The president of the university appointed a blue ribbon panel which has now spoken out in clear terms that this is unacceptable behavior by professors.
