Love and Theft
The University of Michigan has more money than Wayne State, so one student decided to take matters into her own hands and steal some unspecified U of M property while at a concert here, then write a column about it.

Hmm… I’m not sure if anything is missing from The Halfass or the League.
Viva la revolucion,

I’m conflicted.

posted by HD on April 4th, 2006 at 2:38 pm eYeah, it’s SO unfair, UM takes Wayne State kids’ tuition money and builds libraries for itself–er, at least, UM and Wayne State students pay the same amount of tuition but UM has more to show for it… um, nevermind.

Maybe I’ll lift something from the DIA next time I’m out that way. It’s not Wayne State per se, but they get to utilize it and it’s so much nicer than UMMA that it just isn’t fair. We need to work at the grass-roots level to make the playing field equal, right?

posted by Nitro on April 5th, 2006 at 12:08 pm eWouldn’t she have to put whatever it is she took to use at WSU to actually fulfill the whole Robin Hood gig? There’s no mention of that.
Even more confusing, Liz wrote “UM and Wayne State students pay the same amount of tuition.” HUH?!?!? I don’t think that’s true.

posted by Brandon on April 5th, 2006 at 10:16 pm eThat twit was stealing from me. I pay taxes that go to replace stolen items from the U of Michigan. U-M’s Public Safety department has been notified of that web page. Hopefully, they will take the appropriate action.
posted by Joe taxpayer on April 6th, 2006 at 3:04 pm eErm, sure, if “appropriate action” means “ignoring you.”
Yes, the writer’s probably a jackass, but wouldn’t a criminal investigation (hell, the gas money alone to get a squad car into Detroit!) cost more than whatever she might have smuggled out?
posted by Dan on April 6th, 2006 at 5:45 pm eUm… doesn’t UM also have way more students than Wayne State? so…. shouldn’t they have more money?
posted by Sarah on April 7th, 2006 at 2:27 pm eMy parents (who both at one time worked for, and earlier attended, the U of M) had their honda civic stolen the last time they went to visit the DIA. The lot was full so they parked on the street.
Perhaps it was this same person…?
The weblink is now dead … what happened?
