University of Mich. Coach Harbaugh met with Muslim students who were offended by the Coach’s tweet expressing support for the film, ‘American Sniper.’ Closed to the press, it seems all parties involved have no desire to discuss what transpired in that meeting.

University of Mich. Coach Harbaugh, Muslim students mum after private ‘American Sniper’ meeting

Journalists were barred from a meeting Wednesday between University of Michigan head football coach Jim Harbaugh, college administrators, and a number of students who were offended by a tweet in support of airing “American Sniper” on-campus in April.

Robby Soave, the editor of Reason magazine, wrote on the magazine’s website that he went to the student union to attend Harbaugh’s meeting, but was forced by to leave the room once the coach arrived, after telling an organizer he was a journalist.

Soave added that a woman who had access to the room during the meeting approached him while he was outside the door and asked if he had taken any pictures. He said he had taken one of Harbaugh, and asked to be allowed in the room to listen to the discussion.

The woman declined his request and told him not to take any more pictures, saying he was making the students “unsafe.”

The college newspaper, The Michigan Daily, reported about 15 students and several administrators met with Harbaugh during the closed-door discussion.
