Schlissel has been FIRED!

Campaign to fire University of Michigan President Mark S. Schlissel, M.D., Ph.D.

[Schlissel has been FIRED! @fire_schlissel]

Mark Schlissel, who is so much worse than we even knew, has been FIRED. We hope UM gets a president who is everything he was not.

[The Michigan Daily @michigandaily]

University of Michigan President Mark Schlissel fired following internal investigation into his behavior, the Board of Regents announced Saturday.

Story to come.

[Schlissel has been FIRED! @fire_schlissel]

It is currently not clear whether faculty have or will be voting #NoConfidenceInSchlissel. But at least 957 faculty have no confidence in him.

[Grad Employees' Org UMich @geo3550]

University senate rules: abstentions count as non-votes BUT majority is for "all ballots cast"

Does this mean that Motion 6 passes?? Stay tuned.

Once we #FireMarkSchlissel, we’ll need a replacement. Open to suggestions in the replies!

I have #NoConfidenceInSchlissel because he made it abundantly clear just where his "commitment" to DEI stood on his list of priorities when he admitted that BIPOC concerns - after a turbulent summer - were put on the back burner

[✨Dr✨ Nadhira Hill @nadhirawho]

I have #NoConfidenceInSchlissel because instead of investing $$ into adequate testing, tracing, and quarantine housing BEFORE bringing students back, he offered them #AppeasementMicrowaves (2 weeks into term!) and splurged on making a promotional video about quarantine at U-M

[Schlissel has been FIRED! @fire_schlissel]

#FireMarkSchlissel AND revoke his M.D.

[Schlissel has been FIRED! @fire_schlissel]

Schlissel changed his mind about allowing football, despite 12 new cases in the Athletics department last week, but refuses to budge on safety measures for anyone at the university ... #FireMarkSchlissel

[Schlissel has been FIRED! @fire_schlissel]

Schlissel’s employees have been putting their jobs on the line to fight his dangerous decisions. He’s got to lose his job now. #FireMarkSchlissel

[Schlissel has been FIRED! @fire_schlissel]

Today, the UM Faculty Senate is planning to vote #NoConfidenceInSchlissel, @geo3550 and the RAs are still on strike, and others have joined them.

Schlissel has responded by suing his graduate students.

[Grad Employees' Org UMich @geo3550]

Campus knows who to blame!

[Schlissel has been FIRED! @fire_schlissel]

Now the RAs, who aren’t even unionized, are on strike, too! Everyone recognizes that UM’s reopening plan is unsafe. #FireMarkSchlissel #StrikeForSafeCampus

[The Michigan Daily @michigandaily]

More than 100 resident advisers voted to strike, demanding increased COVID-19 protections. https://t.co/Z6bcPUlsB1

[Schlissel has been FIRED! @fire_schlissel]

Instead of protecting its workers, UM is just calling strikes illegal. #FireMarkSchlissel

[Schlissel has been FIRED! @fire_schlissel]

He doesn’t! @geo3550 is on strike to protest Schlissel’s mismanagement of COVID and policing this week. University employees know our lives are at stake and are picketing for a safe and just pandemic response.

[Dr Ryan Glauser @rtglauser]

"Health Informed is a lie
You (@DrMarkSchlissel) don't care if we die"

Pickets outside of @umichLSA

[Schlissel has been FIRED! @fire_schlissel]

We welcome support from allies who are concerned about Schlissel’s harmful leadership. We do not welcome support from those who believe COVID-19 is not dangerous, or that it’s a hoax.

[Schlissel has been FIRED! @fire_schlissel]

Mark Schlissel is out of second chances and opportunities to apologize. He’s got to go now. #FireMarkSchlissel https://t.co/gYvGHPMdDH

[Schlissel has been FIRED! @fire_schlissel]

Again, we do NOT want to fire Schlissel because we want football this fall. Don’t be like Schlissel, who didn’t read the comments he’d received about former provost Philbert’s sexual harassment. Read our site before interacting with this account! https://t.co/gYvGHPMdDH

[Schlissel has been FIRED! @fire_schlissel]

UIllinois planned to test all their students twice a week. And they’re still seeing a spike in cases.

[Chicago Tribune @chicagotribune]

COVID-19 cases spike at University of Illinois: More than 400 new cases have been identified since classes began Aug. 24.

Students have been told to stay home except for essential trips and not to gather, even in small groups. https://t.co/OJTrmt9acr

[Schlissel has been FIRED! @fire_schlissel]

The @nytimes has been tracking college COVID cases. UNC, whose plan was similar to UM’s, shifted online within a week and still has *1100* cases. Why does Schlissel think his campus—and the Ann Arbor community—will see anything different?

[Schlissel has been FIRED! @fire_schlissel]

Last week, UM conducted 776 tests. We have 70,000 students, faculty, and staff. Even if we went with the low estimate that only 1/4 of them are on campus this fall, that stacks up to only having tested 4% of the on-campus population.
