Imagine if football coach Rich
Rodriguez's contractcwasn't cleared
by University President Mary Sue
Coleman when he was hired in
2007? Before 1995, the Athletic
Departmentcould do just that.
Steps were taken to centralize
the Michigan Athletic Department
in 1995, tying it more closely to the
rest of the University.
A Sept. 15, 1995 article in The
Michigan Daily reported that the
Universitywasintheprocessofcen-
tralizing the Athletic Department.
The plan, according to then-Uni-
versity President James Duderstadt,
was to "bring the Athletic Depart-
ment in line with the rest of the Uni-
versity operations."
After a string of press confer-
ences throughout the summer of
1995, the University began drafting
changes to its bylaws, under which
"theAthletic Department'sbusiness
contracts would be controlled by
CRIME NOTES

the University's financial office
according to the article.
The change was prompted by
incident the previous fall. TheA
letic Department had negotia
a contract with Nike without
regents' approval, Regent And
Fischer Newman (R-Ann Ar
told the Daily at the time.
"I think this is an effectivec
to deal with it," Newman told'
Daily at the time. "What it doe
provide a coordinated checking:
tem - a reporting link up into
executive officers."
In addition, in June 1995,
Daily reported that officials at
Athletic Department had bou
out former football coach G
Moeller's contract, costing a t
of $386,026, without informing
regents or University officials.
At the time, Chief Finan
Officer Farris W. Womack
General Counsel Elsa Cole w

rs," part of a committee working "to
incorporate business aspects of
yan the Athletic Department with the
th- University's financial division," the
sted article reported.
the Joe Roberson, the Athletic Direc-
lrea tor at the time, had reportedly con-
bor) tributed to the drafting ofthe bylaw
changes, which were to be intro-
way duced in October 1995 for further
The discussion amongthe regents.
s is "There have been meetings on
sys- how things would change in the
the future, which Joe Roberson was at,"
Cole told the Daily at the time.
the Duderstadt explained in an inter-
the view with the Daily at the time, "If
ght the Athletic Department wants to
ary negotiate a contract with a radio
otal station, it will go through the chief
the financial officer, the general counsel
and, if it's large enough, to a (Board
cial of Regents) vote," according to the
and September1995article.

Puerto Rico gov calls on U.S.
National Guard to fight crime

WHAT DO
RHODES/MARSHALIMITCHELL
SCHOLARS
DO AFTER THEIR STUDIES

In2009, U.S.
territory had its
third-worst year for
homicides on record
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) -
Puerto Rico's goyernor is activat-
ing the National Guard to battle
crime in the U.S. territory.
Gov. Luis Fortuno said Monday
night's executive order activating
the Guard is intended as a tem-
porary measure while new police
recruits are trained.
"Nobody, especially me, can be
happy with the number of kill-
ings last year. We have to do much
more to stop this," Fortuno said
in his state of the commonwealth
speech.

In 2009, Puerto Rico, with
nearly 4 million people, had its
third-worst year for homicides
on record, with more than 890
people slain. Officials said traf-
fickers flooding the island with
drug money were making it one of
the most violent places under the
American flag.
Capt. Paul Dahlen, the Puerto
Rico Guard's public affairs offi-
cer, said yesterday that as many
as 1,000 soldiers will join police
patrolling in high-crime areas of
San Juan, Bayamon, Carolina and
Ponce. About 100 of them will be
focused on repairing police squad
cars.
Training for the troops going
out on crime-fighting operations
will begin this weekend. It's not
yet clear when they will start
joining patrols.

plan so far in life. Why not take

Fortuno distanced his plan
from the "hard-hand" strategy
that former Gov. Pedro Rossello
adopted in the 1990s, when fre-
quent raids of housing projects
cut crime but led to accusations of
rights violations.
Even so, the local director of
the American Civil Liberties
Union said adding soldiers to
the island's 19,000-strong police
force is a poor strategy.
"The problem is not numbers,"
said the ACLU's William Ramirez.
"It seems like there are enough
men on the streets. It's a matter of
how you move them around."
The United States has a con-
stitutional tradition of keeping
military and civilian authorities
separate, and the law limits use
of federal troops to enforce civil
laws.
The last time troops assisted
police patrols was in 2004, when
former Gov. Sila Calderon acti-
vated the National Guard, sending
500 troops to help police patrol
public events and areas where
large amounts of people gather.
