Now I'm wondering if there was a decision a couple decades ago that Ferris would be the other West Michigan school with varsity hockey to avoid having double hockey Lakers in the state

WHEREAS the United States Secretary of Education has requested that the University of Virginia enter into a "Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education", and WHEREAS the Compact contains provisions antithetical to the mission and traditions of the University, and
WHEREAS the Compact contains provisions which endanger the independence and integrity of the University, and
WHEREAS the compact likely violates state and federal law, and infringes upon the constitutional rights of members of the University community, and WHEREAS the University of Virginia exemplifies American academic values of the highest standard, including universal right to free speech and the cultivation of academic freedom; therefore
BE IT RESOLVED that the Faculty Senate of the University of Virginia firmly opposes this Compact as written and calls upon Interim President Mahoney and the Board of Visitors to also reject this Compact outright as well as any similar proposal compromising the mission, values, and independence of the University.

Serviceable, that's what I think of when I think of Little Caesars. As mentioned, easy for group orders, not awesome but usually not awful around here, and the lunch deep dish slice special is a backup option if Jet's isn't available.
