"I thought, 'Holy shit!"' Friedlander, a political sci- ence major and restaurant server, was asked to write and deliver the opening remarks for Presi- dent Barack Obama's Wednesday address about increasing the fed- eral minimum wage. As an added surprise, she was also invited to have lunch with the president at Zingerman's Delicatessen prior to the event. Obama ordered a #2 Reu- ben and Friedlander ordered a #73 - "Tarb's Tenacious Ten- ure." Joined by Rep. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), Friedlander said the lunchtime discussion touched on minimum wage, the revital- ization of Detroit and her career goals. "I was obviously freaking out because I was so hyped about meeting the president of the United States, but he was just very cool," Friedlander said. "It was very comfortable .speak- ing with him and we talked a lot about being a server, being a stu- dent and paying my way through school." In addition to working for a mayoral campaign in her home state of Minnesota, Friedlander has worked as a server to cover living expenses while in college. While the federal minimum wage for most jobs is $7.25 an hour, servers and other similar tipped positions have a lower standard - $2.13 an hour - as long as the addition of tips covers the differ- ence. "For me, I've been lucky with the restaurants I've worked at," Friedlander said. "I was raised to be very independent and very self-sufficient - and also I come from a single mother home ... For me, it's troublesome when I have to ask for money." "It's hard, butI make it work," she added. - IANDILLINGHAM 1HRL THINGS YOU Newsroom 734-418-4115 opt.3 Corrections corrections@michigandaily.com Arts Section EioilPt arts@michigandaily.com Sports Section sports@michigandaily.com Display Sales dailydisplay@gmail.com Online Sales onlineads@michigandaily.com News Tips news@michigandaily.com Letterstothe Editor tothedaily@michigandaily.com opinion@micigandaily.com Photography Section photo@michigandaily.com Classified Sales classified@michigandaily.com Finance finance@michigandaily.com MCKENZIE BEREZIN/Daily LSA senior Mira Friedlandergrabs lunch with President Barack Obama at Zingerman's Deli Wednesday prior to his address on a proposed minimum wage increase.

He added that a, ..,, another paradox is the dispro- portionate political power these industries wield. He compared President Dwight Eisenhower's "military industrial complex" to today's "corporate consumption com- plex." Freudenberg's complex consists of any corporation that promotes unhealthy behavior, focusing primarily on ciga- rettes, alcohol and fast food. These corporations can be food companies themselves as well as lobbies and advertising agen- cies. Freudenberg has also researched solutions to prob- lems caused by the corporate consumption complex, such as the '90s fight started by commu- nity organizers against Uptown, the cigarette brand that was attempting to break into the market by specifically market- ing to African-Americans. Freudenberg also discussed the progress made in this area, citing the successful ban on new fast food franchises in downtown Los Angeles that has opened up space for farm- ers' markets, mom-and-pop stores and other alternatives. Freudenberg advocates for community action as well as government restrictions. "The antidote is more democracy," Freudenberg said. Freudenberg said full dis- closure of political contribu- tions as well as capping the amount of money corporations can donate and lobby for could help alleviate corporations' hold on consumers. Freuden- berg praised other Western nations that have restricted marketing toward children, who can't tell the difference between the truth and persua- sive tactics. Other suggestions for dismantling the corporate consumption complex were more radical. He said in addi- tion to public transportation and 1ibraries, the United States would benefit from having a public food source.

"With respect to student sexual misconduct issues, we have two full-time investigators who handle those matters exclusively," Wales- bysaid. He briefly described the inves- tigation process, which begins when the survivor or complain- ant in a case notifies the Univer- sity through one of many available mediums, such as a residential adviser or online through the Uni- versity's sexual misconduct web- site. After the complaint is filed, OIE will immediately assess if extra measures need to be taken to sepa- rate the person from the situation. OIE will next make sure the com- plainant is aware of all resources that are available to him or her. Walesby said OIE is equally interested in making sure that person who is accused - the respondent - is also supported by connecting him or her to resources on campus. OIE receives the respondent's statement, ensures that it is correct and starts an investigation by iden- tifying witnesses and searching for any other information. "We are very interested in a fair, thorough and equitable process," Walesby said. Wilgus elaborated on the proce- dure from a resolution standpoint, as the next part of the process involves sending reports to OSCR to facilitate the sanction. "Our goals are to eliminate the misconduct, prevent its reoccur- rence and remedy its effects," Wil- gus said. He added that OSCR seeks to create an agreement between the complainant, the respondent and the University. In the rare number of cases in which an agreement is not met, OSCR will facilitate a "resolution by decision" in which the Univer- sity makes a binding decision about the matter without the consent of the respondent. As dean of students, Blake Jones said her office is intricately involved in educating the student body about sexual misconduct, as well as facilitating student com- plaints and sometimes referring themback to SAPAC. Several students in attendance asked why the University's sexual misconduct policy was changed and revised over the course of the last three years. Since 2010, Holly and Wilgus began actively researching how to manage stu- dent sexual misconduct. Wilgus added that they kept very close attention to relative legislation in thinking about ways to improve. The U.S. Department of Educa- tion's Office for Civil Rights issued guidance regarding student sexual misconduct on April 4,2011. Imme- diately following the release of the letter, OSCR instituted an interim procedure for addressing student sexual misconduct issues in order to learn the new process and get student feedback. "We actually took the time to create a policy that is uniquely Michigan, that genuinely responds to what our community identified as being importantto us and where we wanted to center our values," Rider-Milkovich said. According to Rider-Milkovich, other campuses and the White House are looking to the Univer- sity's policy as a "novel practice" and a way in which the campus is furtheringthe knowledge ofsexual assault prevention. "We are trailblazers," Blake Jones said. "And an institution that most of the country looks to in terms of our prevention and educa- tion efforts." Students were also curious abouthowmanystudentsuse these services annually. Each year, SAPAC supports 150 to 160 individual students. OIE sees about 60 to 80 cases per year, and about half of those cases proceed to an investigation. OSCR reviewed about 83 cases in the last academic year. "Not all of those matters result in a full scale investigation that See POLICY, Page 3A
