It gives students one semester of breathing room that allows them to chill out and concentrate on education for the sake of education.

And UMich Ann Arbor is already massive - 8,000 students enroll a year.

But, again, the University of Michigan’s own admissions policies created the need for the students to “chill out”. Is this not treating a symptom of the problem, not the motivator?

Also 32,000 undergrads is not “massive” by any measurement[0], especially when accounting for the population of the state of Michigan, much less the broader United States.

Michigan admissions create opportunities for students that found success within the challenging conditions. Umich treats the problem by educating future policy makers about those systems. Then occasionally yields to powerful lobby groups and clandestine operations of fascist administration.
Not gonna lie, really had me going in the first half there.
