The University of Michigan is using private, undercover investigators to surveil pro-Palestinian campus groups, including trailing them on and off campus, furtively recording them and eavesdropping on their conversations, the Guardian has learned.
The surveillance appears to largely be an intimidation tactic, five students who have been followed, recorded or eavesdropped on said. The undercover investigators have cursed at students, threatened them and in one case drove a car at a student who had to jump out of the way, according to student accounts and video footage shared with the Guardian.

Sounds like U of M does not want to suffer the “consequences” that Harvard is suffering, from the regime.
From Google AI:
The University of Michigan receives a significant amount of funding from the federal government, primarily for research. In fiscal year 2024, the university reported $1.17 billion in federally sponsored research expenditures, accounting for 57% of its total research volume.
Can you smell the fear in the country?

Yes, and it smells like, uhmmm, mostly but not completely like the pork intestines mixed with rutabagas and broccoli served by my aged grandma’s neighbor about 12 hours after eating it? But much more disenabling.
