I am curious whether any other past U-M presidents stuck around like this after their time in office, vs. retiring or taking a job at another university.

I like the Dude more as an engineer and less as a politician. That comment he made about Engler trying to pack the Board of Regents is ridiculous. The Board of Regents are all elected on state wide ballots, 2 regents every 2 years. The only people you could possibly blame are the People of Michigan in the choice of Regents!

In any case, when the People of the State of Michigan are sending your institution $317 million a year straight out of middle and upper class income taxes, you're damn straight it matters what the people perceive and think of the higher education of their children's minds!

Anyone who thinks the governor can't significantly influence the Regents election is deluding himself.

It's true, engineers get shit done. :)
