The University of Michigan–Flint (UM-Flint) is a public university in Flint, Michigan, United States. Founded in 1956 as the Flint Senior College, it was initially established as a remote branch of the University of Michigan, offering upper-division undergraduate courses. The institution developed into a fully-fledged university and received accreditation in 1970. Subsequently, the name was changed to the University of Michigan–Flint. It continues to adhere to the policies of the University of Michigan Board of Regents without having a separate governing board.

UM-Flint is one of the five doctoral/professional universities in the state of Michigan.[7] Together with Oakland University, the University of Michigan–Dearborn, and Wayne State University, UM-Flint is one of the four Coalition of Urban and Metropolitan Universities (CUMU) members in the State of Michigan.

The university's student-athletes compete in intramural and club sports as the Michigan-Flint Wolverines. Notable alumni include former Best Buy executive Shari Ballard, former United States Senator Donald Riegle, and Oscar-winning film director Michael Moore, who was an editor for the student newspaper The Michigan Times.

History

[edit]

Flint Senior College (1956–1964)

[edit]

Former Flint mayor C.S. Mott first suggested bringing a full university to Flint in a meeting with then-President Alexander Ruthven in 1946. Mott pledged to give $1 million to the project if the voters would pass a $7 million bond issue. The University of Michigan initially opposed Mott's idea but, ultimately, agreed to create the Flint Senior College of the University of Michigan as an extension of the existing Flint Junior College (now Mott Community College), while the colleges remained separate institutions.

Although it was founded in 1956, three years before the establishment of the Dearborn Center (now University of Michigan–Dearborn), the Flint Senior College was not the first branch of the University of Michigan ever established. The University of Michigan, established in 1817, historically held central authority and was granted the power to establish schools, colleges, and branches throughout the Territory of Michigan. The initial branch was established in Pontiac in the 1830s, and additional branches were subsequently opened in Kalamazoo, Detroit, Niles, Tecumseh, White Pigeon, and Romeo.[8] The University of Michigan anticipated that these branches would eventually transition into independent colleges and universities once they had matured enough to operate as standalone entities.

For a number of years, the college shared the Court Street campus with Flint Junior College. This campus was part of the Flint Cultural Center with major donations from many Flint business leaders. Original donors included the Sponsors Fund of Flint and William Ballenger.[9] The first building constructed in 1954 was The Ballenger Field House.[9]

In February 1956, David M. French was named the first dean of the Flint Senior College.[10] The college began classes in 1956 with 118 full-time and 49 part-time students. Degrees were offered in liberal arts and sciences and in the professional fields of education and business administration.[11] The college's first class graduated in 1958.[12]

Flint College (1964–1971)

[edit]

The college became a four-year institution in 1964 and added its first freshman class the following year. The name was changed to Flint College of the University of Michigan.

University of Michigan–Flint (1971–)

[edit]

In 1970, Flint College received its own accreditation independent from the main campus in Ann Arbor, from the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.[11] In 1971, the Regents officially changed the name of the institution to the University of Michigan-Flint. The Regents later named William E. Moran as the first chancellor of the university.[11] Two schools were formed at Flint in 1975, the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Management.[13]

The community and city assisted UM–Flint in acquiring 42 acres along the Flint River.[11] $5 million over five years was pledged towards a new campus in 1972 by the C.S. Mott Foundation.[9] During September 1972, sixteen temporary buildings were erected to ease campus overcrowding, pressuring the Regents to move UM-Flint to its current location along the Flint River.

On September 1, 1973, the Regents passed the plans for the first building by Sedgewick-Sellers & Associates, originally planned for a site at Lapeer Road and Court Street. Instead, the first building was moved to a site on the Flint River, the current campus location. The university acquired the Ross House and the Hubbard Building. Its ground breaking ceremony was held on May 9, 1974, at the Wilson Park bandstand.[9] In 1977, construction ended on the Class Room Office Building (CROB), later named David M. French Hall, and the Central Energy Plant.[9] CROB included a library and theatre.[11] In 1979, the original Harrison Street Halo Burger location was vacated to make way for UM-Flint parking.[14] While, the Harding Mott University Center (UCen) was finished that same year and the Recreation Center in 1982.[15]

William S. Murchie Science Building was completed in 1988.[15] In 1991, UM-Flint took over ownership of the Water Street Pavilion as the University Pavilion[12] keeping restaurants there while moving in administrative offices.[15] The library moved to its own building in 1994 with the completion of the Frances Willson Thompson Library. The 25-acre (10 ha) site across the river on the north side was acquired in 1997.[11] Northbank Center was acquired in 1998.[15]

In 1989, the School of Health Professions and Studies was formed and later renamed the College of Health Sciences in 2018. The School of Education and Human Services was formed[13] in 1997.

Juan E. Mestas (1999 until 2007)

[edit]

In September 1999, Juan E. Mestas began his tenure as the fifth chancellor of UM-Flint.[12] The William S. White Building was completed on the north side of the Flint River in 2002 for School of Health Professions and Studies[15] and the School of Management.[16] Halo Burger returned to the campus in September 2002 only to be forced out due to on-campus housing food regulations in 2008.[14]

Ruth Person (2008 until 2014)

[edit]

Ruth Person became chancellor in 2008.[17] The first on-campus dorms, First Street Residence Hall, were completed in 2008.[15] UM-Flint in 2010 was the fastest-growing public university in the state of Michigan.[18] The School of Management moved to a leased floor of the Riverfront Residence Hall in early 2013 from the White Building at renovation cost of $5.3 million.[16] In 2013, Person's five-year term was up and was extended for a year to 2014.[17]

Susan E. Borrego (2014 until 2019)

[edit]

In August 2014, Susan E. Borrego began as chancellor.[19] On October 15, 2015, University Board of Regents approved the purchase of the 160,000-square-foot, 10-story north tower building of the Citizens Banking Buildings from FirstMerit Bank for $6 million expected to close in March 2016.[20] In mid-December 2015, the Uptown Reinvestment Corporation donated the Riverfront Residence Hall and Banquet Center to the university with the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation forgiving the remaining redevelopment loan for the center.[21] On October 20, 2016, the Regents formed the School of Nursing from the Department of Nursing in the School of Health Professions and Studies.[22] The Harrison Street Annex, at Kearsley and Harrison Streets in the Harrison Street parking structure, has been remodeled to be the university's engineering design studio.[23]

Debasish Dutta (2019 until 2023)

[edit]

In 2019, Susan E. Borrego resigned as chancellor after 5 years, and was succeeded by Debasish Dutta in July. Dutta was formally installed as the university's ninth chancellor in August 2019.

Administration

[edit]

UM–Flint, historically a branch of the University of Michigan, has operated under the policies of the Board of Regents of the University of Michigan since its accreditation in 1970. The Board of Regents, as the governing body, is responsible for the appointment of the university president, who presides over the Board's meetings but does not have voting rights. Instead of directly managing the university's operations, the university president recommends the appointment of a chancellor, who is subject to approval by the Board of Regents and is tasked with overseeing the day-to-day administrative duties of the university as its chief executive officer.

List of chancellors

[edit]

Faculty governance

[edit]

The UM-Dearborn faculty governance comprises three bodies: the Faculty Congress, Faculty Senate, and Faculty Senate Council. The Faculty Senate's actions are effective unless revoked by the Faculty Congress. The campus has three representatives to the Senate Assembly, which has 77 members represtentign all three campuses.[25]

Finances

On-campus housing

[edit]

In November 2004, the Board of Regents of the University of Michigan approved the request of the Flint Campus to explore the feasibility of student housing. After several assessments, studies, and surveys showing the probable progression of growth of the campus, student housing was approved. The first-ever student dormitory, the First Street Residence Hall, opened to students in fall 2008.[50]

In December 2015, Uptown Reinvestment Corporation donated the Riverfront Residence Hall, a privately owned high-rise building that houses both UM-Flint and Baker College students, to the university.[51] The 16-story Residence Hall can house up to 500 students.

Student organizations

[edit]

There are over 100 recognized student organizations and 8 Sponsored Student Organizations (SSOs). They are organizations for various academic departments, religions, and cultural backgrounds, as well as organizations for honors, club sports, social fraternities and sororities, service groups, and special interests.

Greek life

[edit]

The university is home to several fraternities and sororities:[52]

Radio station

[edit]

The school owns WFUM (91.1 FM), a public radio station affiliated with the Michigan Radio network.

Student newspaper

[edit]

The Michigan Times was a student-run campus newspaper at University of Michigan–Flint. It was founded in 1959 and casually referred to on and around campus as "The M-Times." Notable alumni staff members include filmmaker Michael Moore and American Idol finalist LaKisha Jones. The newspaper was printed weekly and available free-of-cost on campus, at other area colleges, in the surrounding downtown area and elsewhere in the Greater Flint area. In March 2024, the Flint Expatriates blog reported The Michigan Times was "sunsetting" and will cease operations. It lost funding from student activity fees at the end of the 2023-2024 academic year due to lack of student interest. If students want to relaunch the publication in the future, it will have to be a volunteer-only organization responsible for its own fundraising.[53][54]

Student government

[edit]

The University of Michigan–Flint Student Government represents the students and manages student funds on the campus. Student Government is a member of the statewide Association of Michigan Universities.

Athletics

[edit]

The university's athletic teams have competed as Wolverines, while an unofficial student vote in 2009 selected The Victors to avoid confusion with the Michigan Wolverines.[5][6] The teams share the nickname "Wolverines" with several other collegiate athletic teams, such as the Michigan Wolverines, the Michigan–Dearborn Wolverines, the Utah Valley Wolverines, the Morris Brown Wolverines, and the Grove City Wolverines.

While the university does not offer any varsity intercollegiate athletics, there are a number of club sport teams and intramural sports leagues available to students. Current Club Sports include:[55]

  • Men's & Women's Basketball
  • Cheer
  • Men's Ice Hockey
  • Men's & Women's Soccer
  • Women's Volleyball
  • Softball

In 2013, the men's ice hockey team earned a spot in the ACHA Division III National Tournament for the first time, eventually advancing to the National Championship Game against fellow Michigan Collegiate Hockey Conference foe Adrian Bulldogs. In 2015, the women's hockey team went 18–0 in conference play.

Football was previously offered as a club sport, before financial shortfalls led to the discontinuation of the NCFA club in 2015.
