The university was founded in 1817 in Detroit, about 20 years before the territory of Michigan officially became a state, and moved to Ann Arbor in 1837. Ann Arbor is a city in the US state of Michigan and the county seat of Washtenaw County. Today, it is the state's oldest university and the flagship campus; there are two satellite campuses — the University of Michigan-Flint and the University of Michigan-Dearborn. The University of Michigan-Flint, located in Flint Michigan, USA, is one of three campuses in the University of Michigan system The University of Michigan-Dearborn, located in Dearborn Michigan, USA, is a coeducational nationally ranked masters-level public university which is part of the
The university is internationally renowned for its academics. In its last published survey in 1995, the National Research Council ranked UM third in the United States in a study that aggregated evaluations of 41 graduate disciplines[2] and is considered as one of the original eight Public Ivys. The United States National Research Council puts out a ranking of United States graduate programs about every 10 years although the time elapsed between each new ranking has exceeded 10 years Public Ivy is a term coined by Richard Moll in his 1985 book Public Ivys A Guide to America's best public undergraduate colleges and universities to refer to universities which [3] The university also has one of the largest research expenditures of any American university and one of the largest number of living alumni, at 420,000. [4] UM owns one of the most well-regarded academic medical centers in the United States, the University of Michigan Health System. The University of Michigan Health System (UMHS is the wholly-owned academic medical center of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. [5] The university is also recognized for its history of student activism and its athletic teams, notably in football, men's basketball, and ice hockey. Student activism is work done by students to effect political environmental economic or social change College football is American football played by teams of student athletes fielded by American universities, Colleges and military academies College basketball most often refers to the American Basketball competitive governance structure established by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA Ice hockey, often referred to simply as hockey, is a team Sport played on Ice.
Despite being a public institution, the University of Michigan is known for its high student fees; in 2007, tuition for out-of-state students was the most expensive in the country. [6] The university has also been at the center of a national controversy involving the use of affirmative action in admissions. Affirmative action in the United States is intended to promote access to education employment or housing among certain designated groups (typically Minorities and Women Though the university successfully affirmed before the U.S. Supreme Court that consideration of race as a factor in admissions to universities was constitutional for the holistic Law School admissions process in 2003,[7] the Supreme Court also expressed an opinion on the degree to which race could be used by striking down the policy for undergraduate admissions in a separate court case. The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest judicial body in the United States and leads the federal judiciary. Constitutionality is the status of a law, a procedure or an act's accordance with the laws or guidelines set forth in the applicable Constitution. The former policy automatically awarded 20 points to underrepresented minority applicants in its points-based system. [8] Michigan voters responded by approving restrictions on affirmative action in public universities and governmental hiring in November 2006, forcing the university to cease using race and gender as criteria for admissions.

History
The University of Michigan, was established in Detroit in 1817 as the Catholepistemiad, or University of Michigania, by the governor and judges of Michigan Territory. The history of the University of Michigan (UM began with its establishment in 1817 as the Catholepistemiad or University of Michigania Michigan Territory was an Organized territory of the United States in the early 19th century between June 30, 1805 and January 26 Ann Arbor had set aside 40 acres (16 ha) that it hoped would become the site for a new state capitol, but it offered this land to the university when Lansing was chosen as the state capital. The university moved to Ann Arbor in 1837. The original 40 acres became part of the current Central Campus. The first classes in Ann Arbor were held in 1841, with six freshmen and a sophomore, taught by two professors. Eleven students graduated in the first commencement in 1845. By 1866, enrollment increased to 1,205 students, many of whom were Civil War veterans. Causes of the war See also Origins of the American Civil War, Timeline of events leading to the American Civil War The coexistence of a slave-owning South Women were first admitted in 1870, making UM the first major university to do so (and the third college overall, after Oberlin College in 1833 and Lawrence University in 1847). Oberlin College is a private Liberal arts college in Oberlin Ohio. Lawrence University is a private liberal arts college located in Appleton, Wisconsin. James B. Angell, who served as the university's president from 1871 to 1909, aggressively expanded UM's curriculum to include professional studies in dentistry, architecture, engineering, government, and medicine. Dentistry' is the "evaluation diagnosis prevention and/or treatment (nonsurgical surgical or related procedures of diseases disorders and/or conditions of the oral cavity The term architecture (from Greek αρχιτεκτονικήarchitektoniki) can be used to mean a process a profession or documentation Engineering is the Discipline and Profession of applying technical and scientific Knowledge and For the government of parliamentary systems see Executive (government. Medicine is the art and science of healing It encompasses a range of Health care practices evolved to maintain and restore Human Health by the UM also became the first American university to use the seminar method of study. Seminar is generally a form of Academic instruction either at a University or offered by a commercial or professional organization [10]
From 1900 to 1920 many new facilities were constructed on campus, including facilities for the dental and pharmacy programs, a chemistry building, a building for the natural sciences, Hill Auditorium, large hospital and library complexes, and two residence halls. Hill Auditorium is the largest performance venue on the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor in the United States The university fortified its reputation for research in 1920 by reorganizing the College of Engineering and forming an advisory committee of 100 industrialists to guide academic research initiatives. The University of Michigan College of Engineering is the Engineering unit of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. UM's reputation as an elite national university also began to grow at this time. The university became a favorite alternative choice for Jewish students from New York in the 1920s and 1930s when the Ivy League schools were applying a quota to the number of Jews to be admitted. The Ivy League is an Athletic conference comprising eight private institutions of higher education in the Northeastern United States. [11] As a result, UM gained the nickname "Harvard of the West," which became commonly parodied in reverse after John F. Kennedy referred to himself as "a graduate of the Michigan of the East, Harvard University" in his speech proposing the formation of the Peace Corps. John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy (May 29 1917&ndashNovember 22 1963 often referred to by his initials JFK, was the thirty-fifth President of The Peace Corps is an independent United States federal agency. [12]
During World War II, UM's research grew to include U.S. Navy projects such as proximity fuzes, PT boats, and radar jamming. World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including A proximity fuze (also called a VT fuze for "variable time" is a fuze that is designed to detonate an explosive device automatically when the distance PT Boats were a variety of motor Torpedo boat ( Hull classification symbol "PT" for "Patrol Torpedo" a small fast vessel used by the Radar jamming and deception is the intentional emission of Radio Frequency signals to interfere with the operation of a radar by saturating its receiver By 1950, enrollment had reached 21,000, of whom 7,700 were veterans supported by the G.I. Bill. The GI Bill (officially titled Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944 PL346 58 Statutes at Large 284 provided for college or vocational education for returning As the Cold War and the Space Race took hold, UM became a major recipient of government grants for strategic research and helped to develop peacetime uses for nuclear energy. Cold War is the state of conflict tension and competition that existed between the United States and the Soviet Union (USSR and their respective allies from the The Space Race was a competition of space exploration between the Soviet Union and the United States, which lasted roughly from 1957 to 1975 Nuclear Energy is released by the splitting (fission or merging together (fusion of the nuclei of Atom (s At present, much of that work, as well as research into alternative energy sources, is pursued via the Memorial Phoenix Project.

The Peace Corps is an independent United States federal agency. [14] Lyndon B. Johnson's speech outlining his Great Society program also occurred at UM. The Great Society was also a 1960s band featuring Grace Slick, and a 1914 book by English social theorist Graham Wallas. [14] Also during the 1960s, UM saw many protests by student groups. On March 24, 1965, a group of UM faculty members and 3,000 students held the nation's first ever faculty-led "teach-in" to protest against American policy in Southeast Asia. Events 1401 - Mongol emperor Timur sacks Damascus. 1603 - James VI of Scotland Year 1965 ( MCMLXV) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full calendar of the 1965 Gregorian calendar. [15][16] In response to a series of sit-ins in 1966 by Voice–the campus political party of Students for a Democratic Society–UM's administration banned sit-ins. A sit-in or sit-down is a form of direct action that involves one or more persons nonviolently occupying an area for a Protest, often to promote political social This stimulated 1,500 students to conduct a further one-hour sit-in in the LSA Building, which then housed administrative offices. Former UM student and noted architect Alden B. Dow designed the current Fleming Administration Building, which was completed in 1968. Alden B Dow ( April 10 1904, Midland Michigan – August 20 1983) was an American Architect; he was the son of Herbert The building's plans were drawn in the early 1960s, before student activism prompted a concern for safety. Nevertheless, the Fleming Building's narrow windows, all located above the first floor, and fortress-like exterior led to a campus rumor that it was designed to be riot-proof. Dow denied those rumors, claiming the small windows were designed to be energy efficient. [17]
During the 1970s, severe budget constraints challenged the university's physical development; however, the 1980s saw a surge in funds devoted to research in the social and physical sciences. Meanwhile, the university's involvement in the anti-missile Strategic Defense Initiative and investments in South Africa caused controversy on campus. The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI was a proposal by US President Ronald Reagan on March 23, 1983 to use ground and space-based systems to protect The Republic of South Africa (also known by other official names) is a country located at the southern tip of the continent of Africa During the 1980s and 1990s, the university devoted substantial resources to renovating its massive hospital complex and improving the academic facilities on the North Campus. The university also emphasized the development of computer and information technology throughout the campus.
In the early 2000s, UM also faced declining state funding due to state budget shortfalls. At the same time, the university attempted to maintain its high academic standing while keeping tuition costs affordable. Tuition means instruction or teaching. In American English, the term tuition is often used to refer to a fee charged for educational instruction There were also disputes between UM's administration and labor unions, notably with the Lecturers' Employees Organization (LEO) and the Graduate Employees Organization (GEO), the union representing graduate student employees. These conflicts led to a series of one-day walkouts by the unions and their supporters. [18]
In 2003, two lawsuits involving UM's affirmative action admissions policy reached the U.S. Supreme Court (Grutter v. Bollinger and Gratz v. Bollinger). Affirmative action in the United States is intended to promote access to education employment or housing among certain designated groups (typically Minorities and Women The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest judicial body in the United States and leads the federal judiciary. Grutter v Bollinger, 539 US 306 (2003 is a case in which the United States Supreme Court upheld the Affirmative action Gratz v Bollinger, 539 US 244 ( 2003) was a United States Supreme Court case regarding the University of Michigan President George W. Bush took the unusual step of publicly opposing the policy before the court issued a ruling. George Walker Bush ( born July 6 1946 is the forty-third and current President of the United States. The court found that race may be considered as a factor in university admissions in all public universities and private universities that accept federal funding. However, a point system was ruled as being unconstitutional. In the first case, the court upheld the Law School admissions policy, while in the second it ruled against the university's undergraduate admissions policy. The University of Michigan Law School ( Michigan Law) is the Law school of the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor. The debate still continues, however, because in November 2006 Michigan voters passed proposal 2, banning most affirmative action in university admissions. The Michigan Civil Rights Initiative ( MCRI) or Proposal 2 (Michigan 06-2 was a Ballot initiative in the U Under that law race, gender, and national origin can no longer be considered in admissions. [9] UM and other organizations were granted a stay from implementation of the passed proposal soon after that election, and this has allowed time for proponents of affirmative action to decide legal and constitutional options in response to the election results. The university has stated it plans to continue to challenge the ruling; in the meantime, the admissions office states that it will attempt to achieve a diverse student body by looking at other factors such as whether the student attended a disadvantaged school, and the level of education of the student's parents.
