In Michigan, Assistant Attorney General Andrew Shirvell has taken a sudden leave of absence. This comes after the University of Michigan officially barred him from the campus. He has been threatened with arrest for trespassing if he returns. Photo
Shirvell has been showing up at campus events to protest and taunt Chris Armstrong, the first openly gay student body president of the University of Michigan. Shirvell also wrote a blog called "Chris Armstrong Watch," devoted to the college senior, who majors in sociology.
Now, Shirvell is headed to court and could lose his job for his crusade against Armstrong.
