University of Michigan to Keep GOP Chair, University Regent Weiser’s Name on Building
From Detroit Free Press
DETROIT The University of Michigan will not strip state Republican chairman Ron Weiser’s name from a major campus building, the university said Friday. Weiser is also one of the university’s largest donors and a member of the Board of Regents.
“Having considered these factors and weighed the difficult questions they raise, I have determined that I will not recommend to the regents that they violate the gift agreement and change the name of Weiser Hall,” university President Mark Schlissel wrote in response to faculty seeking to have Weiser’s name stripped. “I have opted to continue to build on the shared ground with Regent Weiser in support of core mission work of the university and will continue to assert university values when there is disagreement.

by Alan Stamm Meshawn Maddock, one of Michigan s two feisty Republican Party leaders, lashes out this holiday weekend about this University of Michigan display mocking co-chair Ron Weiser. In one of five Saturday night tweets, she calls it total lies and misinformation and slams state Attorney General Dana Nessel for sharing a social media photo of the sign. Id [sic] rather go to the Weiser Center than the Nessel Center for Voter Fraud, Political Persecution, and Religious Persecution, snaps Maddock, spouse of state Rep. Matt Maddock, R-Milford. Both are vocal backers of Donald Trump. The far-from-official renaming took place Saturday afternoon at a 10-story tower on the central campus with classrooms and offices for the School of Literature, Science and the Arts. A pair of printed signs atop ground stakes were placed over a marker for Weiser Hall, named for the U-M regent, alumnus and major donor.
