"I was in the shower, and there's this horri- ble sound, and then the lights start flickering," he said. A voice over the inter- com blared out seconds later, announcing that the pandemonium was a result of the fire alarm being set off. "I think there's a fire, I'm scared for my life, I dry myself off, calmly put my clothes on and limp downstairs because I have a sprained ankle," Patil said. He sprained the ankle over the long weekend while playing basketball. After crossing over a friend - or "breakinghis ankles," so to speak - he sped too quickly in the opposite direction and "broke" his own. Once he walked out- side to avoid the poten- tially impending fire, Patil sat down with a few fellow Lloyd resi- dents. He said they were complaining about the alarm, so he joined in. A few minutes later, the incessant beeping subsided and he went back inside to finish his shower. He noted, how- ever, that the alarm's flashing lights did not stop. "I go back up to the shower and undress again," Patil said. "I start glistening and then the alarm goes off again. I punched the wall ... well, I palmed it." -MICHAEL SUGERMAN Newsroom 734-418-4115 opt.3 Correctios corrections@michigandaily.com Arts Section arts@michigandaily.com SportsSection sports@michigandailycom Display Sales dailydisplay@gmail.com Online Sales ontineads@michigandaily.com News Tips news@michigandaity.com Letters to the Editor tothedaity@michigandaity.com Editorial Page opinion@michigandaity.com PhotographySection photo@michigandaily.com Classified Sales classifed@michigandaihy.com Finance fnance@michigandaily.com RITA MORRIS/Daily Music, Theatre & Dance sophomore-Madaline Rouverol checks out clothing- created by students and the costume artisans of University Productions at the Costumes by Design exhibit Wednesday in the Duderstadt Library.

The survey brings to light gaps in hospital policy language that refer only to sexual orientation without addressing gender iden- tities. To achieve recognition for the first component of the survey, facilities must include the terms "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" in their policy or in the patients' bill of rights, which must also be accessible to patients in at least two different forms. Issues within non-discrimi- nation policy, according to the survey, most often affect trans- gender and gender non-conform- ing individuals. While 97 percent of HEI survey respondents have a fully inclusive LGBT patient non-discrimination policy, of those facilities that chose not to respond, only 51 percent had acceptable non-discrimination policies. 98 percent of survey respon- dents had equal visitation policies, while 84 percent of non-respondents had similar equal visitation policies allow- ing same-sex couples and same- sex parents the right to visit loved ones in healthcare set- tings, regardless of their state's legal recognition of same-sex marriage. The survey also dem- onstrates 26 percent of facilities that have a sexual orientation workplace protection policy do not include gender identity in those protections. 96 percent of responding facil- ities have a fully inclusive LGBT employment non-discrimination policy, while only 50 percent hold the same policies in facilities that did not volunteer in the study. More than 86 percent of hos- pitals and facilities that respond- ed to the HEI survey provided LGBT patient-centered training to staff members. Governor skirts gay marriage and pay equality concerns By RACHEL PREMACK Daily NewsEditor Republican Gov. Rick Snyder discussed job growth, the slash and later uptick of state fund- ing for higher education, sexual assault on college campuses and views on same-sex marriage in a conference call Wednesday. Student journalists from the University of Michigan, Michi- gan State University, Central Michigan University and Saginaw Valley State University were on the call. Throughout the Snyder campaign, outreach efforts to the public have increased. While Republican Senate hopeful Terri Lynn Land has avoided public speeches and interviews with the press, Snyder participated in a town hall debate earlierthis week. He and Land previously denied requests for debate. At the beginning of the call, Snyder addressed economic growth in Michigan, saying that under his administration, the state added around 300,000 pri- vate sector jobs. He said college students were key in ensuringthe state continues to grow. "You're our future," Snyder said. "I want to make sure that we can make sure we can make col- lege and higher ed more afford- able for people because we want to encourage people to get the skills, the training, the resources to be successful and have a great career in our state. We have lots of exciting job opportunities in Michigan and one of the keys is to make sure you have the rightoskills to fill those." Questions focused on state appropriations to higher educa- tion. In 2011, Snyder cut 15 percent of funding to public higher educa- tion institutions. Gradual increas- es in funding have followed the initial cut: 3.1 percent increase in 2012; 2.2 percent in 2013; and 6.1 percent in2014. Snyder said increases to the higher education budget link to the overall growth of Michigan's economy. "I think you'll find that the uni- versity leaders over this last bud- get were fairly pleased on where we were heading," Snyder said. "I actually sent the message that as the recovery of our economy keeps up, I hope to restore what we had in place and actually add more revenue to the universities. So we're trying to be proactive about that." He said the initial cut to higher educationwas difficult, butneces- sary to balance the state budget. "When I took office, I faced a $1.5 billion budget deficit, so we did have to make a cut to the higher ed. budgetthat first year in order to balance the budgetwhich was difficult," Snyder said. He added that he was interested in developing a collaborative pro- cess through which universities and the government could work together on managing the institu- tions' budgets. Universities could mimic municipalities' economiz- ing IT systems, enterprise plat- forms and contract negotiations for lower costs of goods services. When budget cuts began in 2011, The Michigan Daily report- ed the University would reduce costs by $100 million by 2012 and another $120 million by 2017. Former University Provost Philip Hanlon,--now president of Dart- mouth College, saidthe University combined IT units to save $7 mil- lion, as Snyder suggested. Former University President Mary Sue Coleman testified in 2011 State Senate and House Appropriations Subcommittees on Higher Education in Lansing that, while cutting coasts, the Uni- versity was dedicated to ensure tuition continued to be affordable. University undergraduate tuition from the academic years 2011-2012 to 2014-2015 differs by $718 for Michigan residents, and $1,995 for non-residents. Snyder said in the conference call that he wanted to place more I emphasis on need-based tuition. Current high school students could also consider dual-enroll- ment, and earn college credits while in school. This could save a year or greater of college tuition. The governor avoided direct answers on queries concerning pay equity and same-sex mar- riage. Asked if he was planning to support legislation to address Michigan's wage gap, in which women earn 74 cents for every dollar men earn, Snyder said his administration "work(s) hard" with all sectors of industry to ensure payequity. "That's where I think the law is prettyclearpeople shouldalready get the same pay so we want to work on making sure we achieve that," Snyder said. Democrats have criticized his lack of action on this issue. Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D) most recent- lyaddressed this in aWest Michi- gan campaign stop this month. "You can stand up and say, 'I support equal pay,' but if you're not willing to put teeth into the law and enforce it, it doesn't count,"Stabenow said. Snyder also did not articulate a stance on same-sex marriage. A March 2014 ruling by the district court deemed same-sex mar- riage legal in Michigan, though Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette (R) asked for an emer- gencystayonthisthe nextday and brought itthe courtof appeals. Democrats have panned the Republican response to same- sex marriage, and Snyder has not taken a definitive stance on the issue. He said any legislative action to change the 2004 consti- tutional amendment banning gay marriage would come too late, as the courts are likely to soon pro- duce a decision on gay marriage. "I'm waiting for the court deci- sion,"he said. However, Snyder said he is "encouraging action" on the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act, See SNYDER, Page 3A 1 A
