But Professor Stephanie Martin did so by citing two studies (which don't mention the outlets) and a survey funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funds PBS and NPR.

Meanwhile, actual media researchers, and the average American, have concluded the outlets are biased toward the left.

Dear UM Regents:

I would kindly ask you again to consider addressing the troubling provision of “free” electricity at UM-Flint for owners of electric vehicles who can access four EV charging stations on campus that provide electric charging free of charge.

As I pointed out last December, the provision of free electricity to EV owners at UM-Flint is racist (87% of EV owners are white), sexist (75% of EV owners are male) and classist (60% of EV owners earn more than $100,000 per year, while only 20% earn less than $50,000).

In other words, the primary recipients of “free” electricity for their EVs at UM-Flint are a group of disproportionately elite high-income, white males (mostly faculty and administrators), who almost all own EVs as their second or third vehicle.

I also pointed out in my email of August 21, 2024 … that EV owners at both UM-Ann Arbor ($1.00/hour) and UM-Dearborn ($1.70 per hour) pay to charge their EVs on campus and are not provided with “free” electricity, unlike at UM-Flint.

Unless owners of traditional gas-powered vehicles are provided with “free” gasoline at gas pumps on campus, it is inherently unfair, unethical, and immoral to provide “free” electricity to disproportionately high-income, white, male EV owners at UM-Flint.
