Recent graduate seeks

office.

year at the University, William Btustic
Jr. started thinking about running for

Two investigatory committees
have formally endorsed reports
that call out University adminis-
trators for violating the freedoms-
and rights of one former University
professor, sources tell The Michi-
gan Daily.
The reports detail a series
of incidents surrounding Andrei

Borisov, who used to work at the
University as a research faculty
member. One report was adopted
by the Faculty Hearing Commit-
tee of the Senate
Advisory Com-
mittee on Uni-
versity Affairs
and another was
adopted by both
the Executive
Committee and
Committee on KYLE SWANSON

this month following the chapter's
Committee on Academic Freedom

SACUA's Faculty Hearing
Committee formalized its own
55-page report last month, calling
out University officials for violat-
ing Borisov's rights and academic
freedom. The report also examines
steps taken by University officials
in handling Borisov's departure
from the University.
