The Michigan Review is the Journal of Campus Affairs at the University of Michigan and a news publication in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with a weekly circulation of 8,000. The Review, published biweekly, is funded primarily by grants from the Collegiate Network, donations, and by advertising revenue.
National media routinely turn to the editors for their perspective on university issues. Review editors have been quoted in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and numerous other newspapers, and have discussed affirmative action on CBS's 60 Minutes, the BBC World Service, and on various local television and radio programs.
Review alumni have achieved some measure of success in the national arena, working for such media outlets as the National Review,The Weekly Standard, The American Spectator, The Hill, and Investor's Business Daily, and writing speeches for President George W. Bush. A large percentage of Review alumni become lawyers. Review alumni have also gone on to very successful careers in business and other fields.
The Review was principally founded by Thomas Fous and Ronald J. Stefanski, in response to an editorial in The Michigan Daily attacking Fous, who was then the chairman of the University's College Republicans. Fous consulted with editors of The Dartmouth Review, as well as Detroit News writer Alan Miller to help direct the formation of the paper. The nascent group secured 501(c)(3) status for The Review, and empaneled an honorary advisory board, which included Paul W. McCracken, Russell Kirk, Irving Kristol, R. Emmett Tyrrell, and Stephen Tonsor.
