oficy, recovery from the In terms of both managing
financial crisis and long- the deficit and avoiding another
recession, Bernanke said he
believes some progress has been
made, but there's much more
that needs to be done. He spoke
about some of the critical fiscal
watersheds the government is
near approaching - namely the
looming fight to raise the federal
debt ceiling.
Bernanke made clear the
repercussions of not raising the
government's debt limit, as he
felt most people did not have a
good understanding of it.
"Raising (the debt ceiling)
gives the government the
ability to pay its bills," he said.
"Not raising the debt ceiling
(would be) like a family trying to
improve its credit rating by not
paying its credit card bills."
The talk transitioned toward
the role of the Fed and how
effective its monetary policies
have been in improving the
economic climate. While the
Fed has successfully kept short-
term interest rates close to
zero since the 2008 recession,
conventional policies did not
yield success in bringing down
interest rates in the long-term.
Under Bernanke's direction,
the Fed has implemented two
unconventional policies in order
to bring long-term interest rates
down. The first solution has
been to talk: If the public is told
that long-term rates will be kept
low, that will have an impact
on actually pushing those rates

FACULTY ASSEMBLY
rrSACUA talks Rackham
policy changes and tuition
New tuition
fellowships and
registration
unveiled
ByASHWINI NATARAJAN-
Daily StaffReporter
At the Senate Advisory
Committee on University
Affairs' weekly meeting on
Monday, members deliberated
Rackham student policy changes
and the University's tuition
affordability.
Janet Weiss, Rackham dean
and vice provost for academic
affairs, and Michael Benson,
president of Rackham Student
Government, informed SACUA
members of the new changes
that were made to the Rackham
Student Registration Policy.
Updates included increased
financial and University
resources for students, such
as health services and sports
facilities.
The University created,
hundreds of tuition fellowships
tolessen the financial burden on
students. Startinginthe fall 2012
semester, students were given
financial aid with tuition and
GradCare coverage, a University
medical insurance program.
The changes to registration
policy pertain to a graduate
student's enrollment status.
With the new policy, if a student
doesn't register for either the
fall or winter term, he or she is
presumed to have withdrawn
from the University.
Weiss said before the policy,
students did not have to
register to be an active student.
As a result, their status as a
Rackham student was uncertain.
Following the change, the
standing of students is easier to
distinguish, she said.
"Now we actually know how
many Ph.D. students we have,"
Weiss said.
Re-enrollment policies were
