A Hillsdale College spokesperson said Tallahassee Classical School no longer is affiliated with the small, Christian classical liberal arts college in southern Michigan, MLive.com reported Thursday. “This drama around teaching Michelangelo’s ‘David’ sculpture, one of the most important works of art in existence, has become a distraction from, and a parody of, the actual aims of classical education,” spokesperson Emily Stack Davis wrote in a statement.

University of Michigan graduate employees go on strike
On Wednesday hundreds of University of Michigan graduate employees gathered at Diag on U of M's campus in protest. The employees say they feel stonewalled by the school after five months of continuous negotiations. The GEO is asking for a livable wage and a 60% pay increase in the first year of a new contract. The school’s current compensation proposal for GEO members translates to 11.5% in raises over the next three years and salaries of up to $39 per hour by year three. Graduate employees are also seeking additional public safety resources in the form of unarmed, non-police responses. The head of GEO Jared Eno says some grad students are resorting to selling plasma to make ends meet.
