The insanity that has taken over the University of Missouri and forced the resignation of its president looks pretty good to the students of the University of Michigan, who rallied tonight in solidarity with “Concerned Student 1950.” To some, the ousting of a university president by students at Mizzou was downright inspirational.

Frankly, it’s more of an indicator of weakness on the part of Mizzou’s administration, who were allegedly the ones in charge of the school.
