the road less traveled..........

By now, several of the Stampede followers have noted a possible bias,
against the WMU Alumni in Southeastern Michigan.

Among the most recent social faux pas were attempts by the "Ranting Accountant"
to elevate his imangined status at the expense of other Non-GR Alumni, by his transparent Golf Outing comments.
Is it really just the Meds?
BTW, despite our academic achievement, most people on this board are fairly smart.

The abence of WMU from the planned Commerica Park activity, should be embarrassing enough,
to initiate an Official Inquiry.

Efforts last year to have the Pres speak at a local CC, saw the meeting regulated to a bar
for millenniums in Royal Oak.

Recently, BP noted a positive experience at a formally, Annual Southeastern Michigan WMU
Alumni Golf Outing, several years ago.
We even mentioned and discussed it with the Director at a meeting several years ago.
Can we hear those excuses again?

Our efforts to have the FB coach address the Southeastern Michigan WMU Alumni, through promises
for such a meeting were made at least three times by the AD, has never occurred.
Given the poor record of keeping promises by the WMU Administration and staff, many are not
surprised by this lack of professionalism.

Then there's the "WMU Outpost" on Woodward avenue, that opened with much "fanfare",
and seems to serve no meaningful purpose.

There appears to be a lackof interest by WMU Administration towards Alumni in Southeastern Michigan.
Many assume that , THIS IS NOT BY ACCIDENT, BUT BY DESIGN.

Also, it has come to mind, in a more academic sense, that this attitude and lack of presence by WMU
in Southeastern Michigan, might just DEVALUE the degree from Western Michigan University.

What do you think?
