Certainly in my days of doing research that might be a social faux pas i have found many things hard to believe. That the Maine speaker of the house who cried racism when fellow state congressmen called Covid the wuhan or china flu and punished them, but bragged on his catholic university page about pelting an African safari driver in the face with Rhino Dung. Among other things.
Now that the CDC is doing damage control, and reversing all it's previous covid policies, Chancellor Malloy decides he is going to force students to have the clot shot in order to return to campus (absent a religious exemption). Malloy is a former governor of Connecticut, and was the least liked governor in America, and was the governor during Sandy hook. He was appointed chancellor because alleged crackhead Janet mills appointed him chancellor. This isn't his first controversy regarding handling infectious diseases issues; his office was previously sued in Connecticut for placing under quarantine some students who returned from the Congo during an Ebola outbreak. He got a break through Qualified immunity, and a finding that states have a right to regulate even US citizens coming into US ports, even despite the fact he held these students prisoner contrary to the findings of the CDC. The appellate court did have dissent, while the majority opinion citing the trial court included 'such measures could be unlawful if undertaken in “an arbitrary, unreasonable manner, or . . . go[ing] so far beyond what was reasonably required for the safety of the public . . . .”'-Liberian Community Ass'n v. Lamont, No. 17-1558 (2d Cir. 2020). As far as I am concerned people are free to believe or advocate whatever they want, but there is a limit when it comes to violating the rights of others. I could get into a long tangent about vaccine effectiveness, the dangers of vaccines, and so on-and people are free to agree or disagree. But the Chancellor of the University of maine system making the policies for the entire system, he isn't giving students informed consent, he isn't letting them make their own decisions about whether they should take the risk-a right which even prisoners have. A risk that some European countries found unacceptable for college age students. So in the debate about who gets to make the decisions, i came across something rather funny. It's certainly going to be offensive to people with disabilities, bu we can see why the university has been pushing DEI.In my younger years, I attended the University of Maine. There is presently a tick over in the University of Maine system with Chancellor Dannel Malloy, the former governor of Connecticut. Multiple universities in the Umaine system gave him a vote of no confidence, because of his botched presidential searched where he apparently gave a guaranteed 3 year salary to a new president and failed to disclose to relevant stakeholders that the new president had previous votes of no confidence. https://www.centralmaine.com/2022/06/16/maine-legislative-panel-grills-umaine-chancellor-over-egregious-presidential-search/ . So the new president, who stepped down, could be receiving over $600k over the next 3 years to basically do nothing.
I am all in favor in letting people achieve public good according to their abilities and ambitions, but I am not in favor of ceding our sovereignty away in the name of charity, antiracism, or any other reason. A tyrant can be of any race, any gender, or any other classification. However, DEI is used as a cloaking device by the left in inject tyrants into positions of power without question, without criticism, and it undermines the stated ambitions of DEI as as grievances grow with one thing in constant-the demographics of the DEI choices. It does more harm than good. Chancellor Malloy's career has benefited from DEI and reasonable accommodations, and likely gave him a free ride to positions of power and no one daring to challenge him or call him out. In fact, he happens to be the poster child for DEI at the University of Michigan. I suppose he should also be the poster child for reasons to abandon DEI policies.
On the University of Michigan page, it described how his school found him..."Mentally retarded". I can understand the outrage of innocent uninvolved people and their sensitivities for pointing that out, but there are times when using the word is appropriate-especially against political leaders and judges who seek to violate others. And here, it is already documented and self-marketed that he was found, "mentally retarded". http://dyslexiahelp.umich.edu/success-stories/dannel-malloy . Res ipsa loquitur.

As a child, Dannel P. Malloy was not given much of a chance. “I was diagnosed as mentally retarded as late as the fourth grade,” he recalled.

When it comes to the issue of who is best to decide if a student should be vaccinated, in the the University of Maine system, The policies of a "mentally retarded" bureaucrat, with multiple votes of no confidence, take precedence over the best young minds in the country to make the decision for themselves. You just can't make this up. It is time for people to reclaim their sovereignty, less they are at the mercy of retards.
