In an act of solidarity, 65 past MLK Spirit Award recipients have renounced their awards in support of a 2024 awardee whose honor was revoked by Provost McCauley, with backing from President Ono and the U-M Regents. We support their right to take meaningful action and encourage you to learn more by reading their statement in the Michigan Daily Op-Ed from August 20, 2024.
