Schlissel absolutely hates, I'm using the word hate here (shoutout for "As Good As It Gets" fans) the current guy occupying the the 1600 PA Ave address.
Here are some comments in a few different emails he wrote after the last big event around November of 2016..."I would feel awful if Trump won the election and I was too afraid of appearing political to make any effort to encourage our students to thoughtfully participate. I’m willing to accept the criticism since I think its very important.” .....and more....."“I am torn on recommendations for appointees since I can’t imagine lending one’s name to a Trump administration,” he wrote."
Michigan fought for a year to keep his emails showing his disdain for Trump hidden before eventually losing a FOIA request and relenting.
One of the first things he did after he got his current job..."One of Schlissel’s first acts as president was a
$400,000 effort to move a single tree out of the way of a construction project, right as tuition and fees were being hiked."
I could go on and on......the guy is an intolerant pile of crap and if you spend just a few minutes reading about his disdain for the big guy, there is no way you could convince any reasonable person he doesn't have some ulterior motives. Out of touch elitist at his finest.
