One of our greatest supporters (in so many ways) is the CMU College of Business Administration! Recently, students used CMich Press as a client for their digital marketing class. That's just one example. Here's an article featuring our Pages of the Press opportunity:

Legally, can the other MI unis do it? I know Umich, Mich tech, MSU, and Wayne (?) are independent…can CMich et al?

Well this is a new one for me. Just had to head off a spam order attack on the CMich Press website. My watch & phone started blowing up with failed orders, and I had to run down to my office to disable the specific product being ordered, which seems to have stopped the attacks for now.

One of the things that Ivies do much better Ivies(of all kinds) is PR. Places like SCSU, UConn, or CMich could have faculty who found a cure for alla cancers, HIV, and fixed climate change, and still ignore them, or, worse, bash them. Is it org culture? Low quality of admins?
