University of Michigan president Mary Sue Coleman declined to be interviewed in person or on the phone for an Ann Arbor News series, but offered to answer questions via e-mail. The paper said no. Eric Zorn says the News "came off as churlish by insisting on setting the rules for how she was allowed to comment. They punished their readers -- who deserved to hear Coleman's side of the story -- in favor of standing on ceremony."
