Instead of dealing with two professors, following up on an Ann Arbor News report about the University of Michigan pushing athletes towards less rigorous majors (you know, the joke about athletes that's been going on forever filled with classes on underwater basketweaving etc), U-M Vice Provost Phil Hanlon decided those questions were TOO HARD. Phil didn't like them so he HIDES behind the Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs. See, Phil at first agreed to be above board and answer the questions, until he saw them. Suddenly the questions weren't SACUA sanctioned. Suddenly Phil stuck his head in the sand again chanting to himself "Everything is fine at Michigan, Go Blue, Champions of the West".
Gutless move Phil, for an athletic program you cover for constantly, a fine example you set. Well if you're hiding from hard questions as Vice Provost, can we be surprised this story is about U-M student athletes hiding from hard classes?
