There were definitely a couple teachers who needed to retire or be retired (burned out for good), but I don't blame the school system for that.

And yes, there are some great universities in MI. U of M and Wayne State in Detroit come to mind. Kalamazoo College is very top notch, as are some of the other private schools.
...Add CMU to that list? :-)
