Filmmaker and Michigan native Michael Moore has established a scholarship for students who defy the administration at California State University, San Marcos–the same school that canceled his talk last year.

The Michael Moore Freedom of Speech Scholarship will award two $2,500 annual scholarships to Cal State San Marcos students “who have done the most to fight for issues of student rights by standing up to the administration,” according to a news release issued Wednesday.

The first scholarships will be awarded in the 2005-2006 academic year. Winners will be announced in June.

Michelle,

Figures. While most scholarships are a reward and incentive for achievement, Moore comes up with one to encourage troublemakers. It may backfire though. Considering the far left position of this and most universities, perhaps the only way a student can stand up to an administration is through conservative and anti-lefty positions.

Bingo.
