Falls into the category of "takes one to know one." Seriously, while not a moron, Bollinger was definitely not a successful president at Michigan. I think that silly halo was planned well before he became president; he just became the target as it went up during his early tenure. And to his credit, he had it removed. I prefer to blame him for expensive blunders like the Life Sciences Institute.

Wow! I never thought I would agree with Donald Trump on anything. Even worse, I find myself agreeing with the above commentators. Somebody please help!

I agree with you both. Bollinger's presidency scars the UM to this day in many ways. We was a lawyer who fashioned himself an arts patron first and foremost. So happy he is gone.

Lee Bollinger, as I recall, was responsible for the caricature laden Halo around the Big House. While a fine legal scholar and Dean to the Law School, maybe a lawyer shouldn't be in charge of building plans. Lawyers always think that they're the smartest person in the room.
