Weiser refuses call by UM regents to resign, saying he won t be canceled
University of Michigan regent and Michigan Republican Party chairman Ron Weiser refused to resign after the university s Democratic-majority board called for him to do so during a rare Friday special meeting prompted by his controversial remarks about high-ranking elected officials.
Six Democratic regents approved a resolution to censure Weiser for the comments that brought national and international disrepute on the university. Of the two Republicans, Regent Sarah Hubbard abstained, while Weiser didn t appear to cast a vote.
The 75-year-old GOP regent on Friday apologized for his offhand remarks last week calling Michigan s three Democratic female leaders the three witches. He pledged to be part of a respectful dialogue moving forward and refused to resign.
