2 - The Michigan Daily - Monday, May 22, 2006 RESPONSE Continued from Page 1 column on Coleman's decision. "Coleman found no benefit in further delaying the discussion,' Peterson said. John Pollack - founder of Save the Big House, a group opposed to the reno- vations - said the University's decision to tack the renovations onto the agenda was irresponsible. "It was a very sly move, and I don't think it reflects well on due process at the University of Michigan," Pollack said. "This is halo times 100:' The halo was the painted ring added to the stadium in 1998. After two years, the halo was removed due to vehement pub- lic disapproval. Pollack is also concerned about the message the University is send- ing by building luxury seating while Michigan's economy is suffering. "It's fiscally irresponsible," he said. Former Dean for Research and Gradu- ate Studies at the Medical School Irwin Goldstein said he was disappointed with thecovertnatureofthedecision.Goldstein was one of 33 faculty members from nine schools and colleges who signed a letter expressing their opposition to the luxury boxes. Goldstein said if he knew the sta- dium renovations were to be discussed at the meeting, he would have been there - along with several of his colleagues. He said the meeting should have been held in Ann Arbor. Maynard acknowledged that holding the meeting in Dearborn was not conve- nient for Ann Arbor residents who wanted to voice their opinions. Goldstein is also upset that the skybox- es will be so high, saying they will "pre- clude the sun." "We have an incredibly beautiful stadium and it will never be the same," he said. Goldstein supports Regent Laurence Deitch's alternative proposal of spending $55 to $60 million on "necessary" reno- vations, excluding the luxury boxes. He said he wished he could have been at the meeting to endorse Deitch. Goldstein hopes an additional meeting will be held in Ann Arbor for the commu- nity to comment. He said he is willing to pay more for tickets if necessary. After a Freedom of Information request, athletic director Bill Martin revealed the project to The Ann Arbor News Thursday.
