Being a senior in political science at the University of Michigan, I often get emails from the PoliSci department advertising to U-M students various events, internships, and job opportunities available to Michigan students. This morning I got one such email, entitled, “Documentary on social justice looking for researchers,” forwarded onto students.

The documentary (to use that term liberally), “Affirmative Action: Separate But Equal,” is being directed by a U-M alumnus Russell Ezekiel Stewart. The documentary, viewable here, is—so far—a vindictive screed against those who supported the MCRI, implying that they’re (what else) racists in cohorts with the KKK.

Most departmental emails are sure to include the disclaimer that neither U-M nor the political science department endorses any political party. That was lacking in this case. But, as the producer who wrote the original email noted, “meetings are generally held…at Haven Hall, 6th floor in the conference room”—Haven Hall being the office space housing academic offices, like the departments of Afro-American and African Studies, American Culture, and, yes, political science.

I can’t wait to see the finished version of the documentary in class this fall.
