University of Michigan expected to withdraw from hosting debate
The University of Michigan is expected to withdraw from hosting a 2020 presidential debate this fall, two sources familiar with the matter tell CBS News
The university was scheduled to host the second of three debates between President Trump and presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden on October 15. A formal announcement is expected to come on Tuesday.
Sources told CBS News that the decision to withdraw was made in order to avoid having thousands of reporters, protesters and other attendees descend on Ann Arbor amid the coronavirus pandemic. University of Michigan president Mark Schlissel announced Monday that the school plans to hold a mix of in-person and remote classes this fall.

Or maybe not...It appears to be defunct now.
This sounds about right. When I was there about 15 years ago, AA had a pretty vocal lefty activist community (for everything from animal rights to grassroots activism for Dems). I would imagine BLM has a strong presence there.
