The University of Michigan’s Board of Regents unanimously approved a new policy – institutional neutrality for university leaders – on Oct. 17, 2024. This decision aligns with a broader trend among higher education institutions to limit official commentary on contentious topics. Regent Mark Bernstein emphasized the policy aims to empower individual faculty
