Bumped: Petition to Fire Brandon (Students/Alumni/Faculty)
I'm re-posting this to keep it on the MGoBoard because I find it important, and for some reason it hasn't been pinned to the site banner yet. Maybe it will mean nothing, but this kind of stuff is all many of us have to express discontent and disgust with the leadership of the athletic department, especially for those who do not want to resort to boycotts for the players' sakes.
ALUMNI - you can sign it too. You don't even have to remember your unique name.
Follow the 'Login' link and click the 'Create a Login ID Now' on the left hand side, click 'create uniquname', and follow the instructions. I haven't used my umich login in 7 years, and it took me literally 87 seconds to recover it and reset a password. Just need your name, birthdate, year of first UM degree, and last four of your SSN. Theoretically it also allows you to create a login ID for those who were alumni before the advent of the uniquenames. Haven't tired it myself, but saw a '91 grad say they could sign.

I couldn't think of my password, so I kept guessing and now I am locked out...
of course I graduated 14 years ago, and I've smoked a lot of weed since then...
so hey, I tried.

We should have cleaned house a long time ago. I can't believe how this administration has handled itself. I think after the Gibbons thing we should have cleaned out. This whole thing makes me sick.

When I was there in the mid-70s I had a mild association with the student government. I can say with great confidence that the opinions of the students meant very little to the adminstration on both the LS&A and University level.
Looking back on it, that was probably a good thing.

There are over 6500 now.

Just signed. Over 7,000

I hope this gets to 10,000 by the end of the day...at least!

U-M parents also have a uniqname if they access their students' accounts through Wolverine Access.

Done.
September 30th, 2014 at 4:31 PM ^
The list is growing quickly, close to 8,000 now. Averaging almost a signature each few seconds. No way the University can ignore this.
September 30th, 2014 at 4:55 PM ^
Signed.
Almost up to 8000
September 30th, 2014 at 5:00 PM ^
duped. nevermind.

So, tried it, but got this message:
Our Apologies: We Are Unable to Process Your Request
We are currently unable to accept the information you provided as ID verification due to a problem with the Alumni Uniqname Management system. This problem may take some time to fix.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
So... so much for that. Either it's being inundated, or, they realized what's happening and turned it off.
September 30th, 2014 at 5:01 PM ^
Part of me hopes it is the latter scenario. Imagine how bad THAT would look for the university, as if this could even get any worse. It's so bad it's comical at this point.
September 30th, 2014 at 5:04 PM ^
It's still growing, over 8,000 now.
September 30th, 2014 at 5:01 PM ^

to drive some tangible action? Over 10,000 students/alumni/staff feels pretty significant to me. Can anyone handicap what the number would have to be to really move any needle?

Not really worthy of a new thread IMO, but something I wanted to share. I'm taking a classic civ course this semester, and our guest speaker for tomorrow (October 1st) was supposed to be Dave Brandon. About 2 hours ago, we received an email from the professor stating that he (our professor) will be giving the lecture tomorrow instead. He did not elaborate on the change, or say if the guest lecture would be rescheduled, so I have no clue how to read into the change yet, but figured I would share this with the board.
October 1st, 2014 at 9:01 AM ^
Clearly he is tired from pulling all nighters.

Im Go Blue all the way and never will change that but this season is on track to be worse then the 08 season! Got to make changes we go talent on feild just not talent on the sideline!
