Schlissel discusses student protests, racist incidents in annual Leadership Breakfast

At his annual Leadership Breakfast Tuesday morning, University President Mark Schlissel outlined his goals for the University of Michigan and significant achievements of faculty over the last year to an audience of approximately 200 in the Ross School of Business.

“So I thought, ‘OK, maybe not the house for me,’” he recalled.
