It was just so bizarre to me going from a town where we were one of like 3 south Asian families surrounded by thousands of white people to navigating different #desi girl subcultures my first month at #UMich 😂

Even “Mean Girls” in 2004 had “Asian nerds” (me) and “Cool Asians” (her)

I’ll see if I can find the stats but they have to be much better than #UMich. Leadership has acknowledged our northern #Michigan /UP problem and it puts a bigger target on our back with GOP in state #legislature. We need to have more of a presence up there. However that looks.

Feeling like Fall 🍂 #UMich

University of Michigan's proposed partnership with Los Alamos isn't just a disaster for community relations and public trust. It will also hurt academic research at the *public* university, says historian and #umich public policy professor Joy Rohde.

I went to #UMich SMTD production of 8 short plays of Samuel Beckett, whom I knew nothing about until today.

That was bleak. Like #Nietzsche in #play form, and deeply uncomfortable to me being claustrophobic, full grown men in burlap sacks and such

I think I need Love Hypothesis after that 😬

The Advisory Board for Intercollegiate Athletics at #UMich has been a bunch of sycophants, and I wouldn't be surprised if Portnoy is involved in high level decision making. We purposely tried to make one person who seemed to have a spine and call out bad behavior (an #engineering prof) the Chair

If the #Huskies hold on to their lead over #USC they may get ranked again. Their loss to Minnesota by 3 looks a little better after Michigan lost today by 6.

FWIW there are 7 African #immigrant men in #UMich #mechanical #engineering department, with PhDs from places like MIT and Berkeley. White men professors are well under 50% of the profs in all of our engineering departments

I’m starting to think the #UMICH #Wolverines may not have a good football team this year 😄

Go Bucks! Surely a 17-point lead with 9 minutes left is enough this time…

LSA alumna Maaza Mengiste, a fiction writer and professor of English, was recently named a 2026 MacArthur Fellow, an honor widely known as the “genius grant.” Read more: https://myumi.ch/11pzm #UMich

Interesting how #computerscience has collapsed so much as a major at #UMich that it’s no longer restricted. I had no idea that they had these restrictions in place but: #ComputerScience through college of engineering went from 747 students to 294 students between 2023-2026, and LS&A from 728 to 274.

For #MichiganMedicine, where 85% of the #clinical track #faculty at #UMich reside, they will be creating a #clinical #practice track where you can be promoted on the basis of providing excellent care to #patients and #hospital #operations work, without grants and #medical #journals

In 2024, my #UMich #SenateAssembly colleagues elected me the first ever #clinical track representative to SACUA, the executive level #FacultySenate leadership, after the clinical track was (finally) given representation in 2023 (we were the very large Washington DC of the university for 200+ years)

When the federal government revoked TPS, the student was notified by USCIS that they're to appear for removal proceedings this year. They're seeking legal support so they can stay to finish their studies.

The last 3 years has been very much a tail wagging the dog situation in this institution, and the tail are politicians, donors, and the media… NOT the #faculty who are ONLY reason why the current admission rate for #UMich is… 12% (even lower out of state which is almost half our students)
