The only reason they are investigating is because Steve is a Republican and the other Regents are Democrats. Every Regent should be investigated for conflict of interest or is it just because he is a Republican.

I think its pretty clear in the article why he is being investigated.

Can’t have anyone with some common sense serving as a regent…now can we?

The whole board of regents stinks. Politics–Hard to believe the selection committee cannot find more qualified citizens around the state other than past legislators–cronyizm!

How is this any different than teachers serving in the legislature voting on teacher’s contracts? No one seems to have a problem with that.

Bruce,

Yeah, we’d hate having people on the Board who actually understand how to work with the legislature which provides almost a Billion dollars to the U… what a short sighted way of thinking you have The legislature does not trust the Board of Regents so it should not be a surprise that the UofM always gets cut. The Board needs some shaking up because they have been “yes men” for too long… maybe a few more legislators can help change the way that place works. I have no problem with it.
