I was GEO president for a brief moment and an active steering com'tee member way back in the late 90s at UMich. Cops being sicced on picketing grad workers by then-president Bollinger was inconceivable.

Wow, Ono.....true colors, man.

Kudos to PMJT for taking the time to speak with this young man.

Because we all know that @PierrePoilievre would never do this. He'd walk away or have his handlers remove the "problem". #NeverVoteConservative

Well done #UofM -- Lighting the stadium green in solidarity of their arch rival #MSU after the tragic shooting earlier this week. VERY classy! #MichiganStrong https://thespun.com/more/top-stories/michigan-basketball-made-classy-decision-ahead-of-michigan-state-game

OMG #uofm football it’s the off-season chill. “Computer access crimes” - that is um, interesting.

It was always my hope to avoid scandal for #UofM and my estranged family. But the #umich administration refused to investigate, and the criminal statute of limitations is over.

My father has already done so much harm to so many people. Publicizing this is the only way I have to stop him from harming anyone else.

It's frankly absurd that, as an #umich alumni, I can speak at countless universities and events worldwide, but can't speak at my own alma mater for fear of being stalked and harassed by my own father (who has admitted to sending private investigators to stalk me for my personal information.)

Yet the university administration refused when I asked to be protected from him. How can Michigan expect to continue to be a premier research university if they are unwilling to protect potential invited speakers from faculty members who have confessed to abusing them as a child?

Most abuse survivors do not become internationally known figures with a greater platform than their abuser. Most cannot obtain testimony from an eyewitness and a direct confession from their abuser.

Yet #UofM still refuses to act for myself. What message does that send to others?

It's been publicly reported since mid-2021 that I'm a survivor of child abuse.

What has not been publicly reported is that my father, who admits to physically abusing me as a child, is a sitting professor at #UofM, whom the #umich administration has refused to investigate.

I'd hoped to avoid publicizing this. When I first heard that my father allegedly had other victims, I pursued my own case w/ UM's OIE (now ECRT) repeatedly since June 2021. As an alumni, I'd hoped they'd take the issue seriously. Instead, they declared it not their problem.

I understand that university administrators are busy. I realize that they do not wish to adjudicate inter-family cases. But when a sitting professor is a self-confessed child beater, I think it's reasonable to ask for some oversight into him. And when the victim he admits to abusing is an international figure whom the university seeks to invite to speaking engagements, I think it's reasonable to have a no-contact order in place.

Married into a #Michigan family, yet my grandfather played LE on the 1938 TCU Championship team. Last time TCU won the national championship.
Near the beginning of the game, they showed some film coverage and for a brief second, I saw his jersey number flash across the screen.
Wish he was still alive. Would have enjoyed watching the game with him.
