I was at the University of Michigan in graduate school in the early 1990s.
I took a great political decision making course with Professor Raymond Tanter. Awesome guy. But as conservative a Republican as a conservative can get. But in that great academic way that still allows for a sharing of ideas and a coming together of minds and thoughts. Like I said, an awesome guy.
At UM, as you are probably aware if you've been with me a while, I lived in a student co-op. It was built with a $1,000,000 HUD grant in 1970, and was the size of a medium-sized dorm. It was student owned, operated, and governed, but because of its size, it was not quite like the smaller coops. The smaller houses did tend to have a real commune feel a lot of the time. More than one was vegetarian or vegan. We were just a bunch of kids living cheap and well way up at the edge of campus.
