Raise your hand if you’re familiar with the 17th Amendment. Maybe one of you? Alright, do you know what it’s about? No, it doesn’t have to do with giving women the right to vote. Prohibition? Closer, but not quite. The 17th Amendment replaced “by the legislature thereof” with “by the people thereof” in Article I […]
Zoom University looks to finally be over, and we at The Michigan Review could not be happier. Michigan students have endured quite a bit this semester, so we are proud of the accomplishments we have made in spite of the difficulties the pandemic has thrown at us.

Follow me on a journey to a mystical land: a land so foreign to many, yet ever so prevalent throughout the world. A land across the water in the continent known as Europe, where they play a little game called football. I’m not talking about the kind of football stateside where Tom Brady ridiculously dominates […]
Last Thursday, President Mark Schlissel alongside several members of the Board of Regents announced the “Go Blue Guarantee”, promising well-needed financial support for some of Michigan’s lower income families. The guarantee ensures that in-state students whose family incomes fall at or below $65,000 per year receive a full-tuition scholarship for the entirety of their time […]
With summer having finally arrived, The Michigan Review proudly presents some of our “Songs for the Summer”, as presented by our staff writers.
