Former councilwoman Sally Hart 
Petersen to run for Ward 2 seat
‘U’ class on AIDs adapted 
for online course platform

Prof. hopes to 

maintain campus 
connection in new 

settting 

BY ISOBEL FUTTER

For the Daily

With an online platform 

called Coursera, the University 
is offering a popular class 
on AIDS to more than 1,000 
students around the world.

Through 
Coursera, 

universities across the globe 
develop massive open online 
courses, 
or 
MOOCs, 
and 

publish them for anyone to 
take. 
The 
University 
has 

created 24 MOOCs over the 
last three years, 18 of which are 
currently running, including 
the brand new course AIDS: 
Fear and Hope.

The 
course 
is 
an 

interdisciplinary class on the 
history, politics and social 
implications 
of 
the 
AIDS 

epidemic. More than 1,100 
people from all over the world 
are currently enrolled in the 
course, and enrollment remains 
open for two more weeks.

For 
the 
class, 
students 

watch lectures posted in each 
of the seven units, and then 
take quizzes at the end of each 
unit. If participants complete 
the course, they receive a 
certificate 
of 
completion. 

Though 
the 
units 
have 

deadlines, students can work 
at their own pace within the 
course.

The AIDS online course 

is based on a class offered 
at 
the 
University, 
taught 

by American Culture Prof. 
Richard 
Meisler. 
The 

University’s Office of Digital 
Education 
and 
Innovation, 

which 
is 
responsible 
for 

creating MOOCs, works closely 
with professors like Meisler 
to 
expand 
and 
transform 

University courses into online 
classes.

“I’ve 
been 
teaching 
the 

course on campus for years. 
What I did was translate it 
into this new format,” Meisler 
said. “It’s an interesting new 
development. It’s just started, 
and from the very beginning, 
we’ve had students from China, 
Ukraine, Sweden, and so it’s 
an interesting experiment in 
making education available to a 
wide range of people.”

James 
Devaney, 
assistant 

vice provost of the DEI, said 
selecting courses for MOOCs is 
a challenging process.

“One of the reasons we 

chose this course is that it has 
enriched the lives of students 
on campus for decades,” he 
said. “So, we picked it because 
we can deliver it to a massive 
audience 
to 
enliven 
the 

discussion around AIDS, and 
further student understanding 
on the subject, which is really 
exciting.”

The topic of AIDS resonates 

deeply with Meisler. He said 
he enjoys the multidisciplinary 
aspect, and he stressed that the 
crisis of AIDS can be viewed 
through many different lenses.

“When AIDS first came 

out, it was very frightening, 
everybody was scared,” Meisler 

said. “I just wanted to know 
more about it. I’ve always been 
interested in things that are 
interdisciplinary with science, 
social science and humanities.”

All of the course units 

include 
lectures 
conducted 

by Meisler, as well as papers 
and articles on the epidemic. 
Meisler 
also 
offers 
videos, 

many of which include his 
interviews with people who 
recount the original outbreak 
in detail. Other videos show 
politicians 
discussing 
their 

approach to solving the AIDS 
epidemic.

“There’s videos on testing, 

politics and then some of the 
most interesting sessions are 
sessions in which people that 
I 
interview 
remember 
the 

beginning of the epidemic in 
Detroit, in Washington, in San 
Juan, Puerto Rico and other 
places.”

Though this is the first time 

that the course has been offered 
on Coursera, both Meisler and 
the DEI have high expectations 
for the course. Devaney said 
the class is a helpful tool for 
students at the University, 
and encourages that they sign 
up before the deadline in two 
weeks.

“It has the potential to enrich 

and enliven the discourse that’s 
part of the class,” Devaney 
said. “When you have multiple 
thousands 
of 
participants 

engaging in that course in the 
MOOC, one will get access to 
new and more diverse points of 
view and multiple disciplines. 
If we can learn from those 
perspectives, there will be 
interesting implications.”

Current rep. Jane 
Lumm unsure if she 

will pursue third 

term in office

BY LARA MOEHLMAN

Daily Staff Reporter

After vacating her seat on 

Ann Arbor City Council dur-
ing an unsuccessful attempt 
at the 2014 mayoral race, Sally 
Hart Petersen said she hopes to 
regain a spot.

Peterson 
pulled 
petitions 

from the city clerk’s office to 
run as a Democrat in city’s 
Ward 2 earlier this week. She 
will have to gather signatures 
from 100 voters to secure her 
name on the August primary 
ballot.

Petersen is running for the 

seat of Councilmember Jane 
Lumm (I–Ward 2). In an inter-
view with The Ann Arbor News 

earlier this week, Lumm said 
she said she would “most like-
ly” seek re-election this year.

Petersen 
served 
on 
City 

Council for two years as a 
Democrat for the Second Ward 
before losing to Christopher 
Taylor in the mayoral race last 
year. She plans to run for City 
Council to continue working on 
projects started during her pre-
vious terms.

“I still have so much unfin-

ished business I want to con-
tinue to work on,” she said in 
an interview with The Michi-
gan Daily.

One 
of 
those 
projects 

involves economic develop-
ment for Ann Arbor.

“I feel very strongly that the 

city needs to pursue a sustain-
able fiscal policy so that we 
can stir more revenue in order 
to pay for all of the wonderful 
things that we want to do in our 
community,” Petersen said.

Petersen said Ann Arbor’s 

main revenue comes from 

property taxes, so Ann Arbor 
needs to focus on maintaining 
and introducing more com-
panies and jobs to the city to 
promote economic activity and 
increase property tax values.

Peterson added that, as a 

result of major budget cuts in 
2009 and 2010, Ann Arbor’s 
basic city services have suf-
fered.

“Now the economy is bet-

ter, but we need to increase 
our bottom line so that we can 
restore services to where they 
were,” Petersen said.

Petersen 
also 
plans 
to 

improve relations between the 
city of Ann Arbor and the Uni-
versity.

“There 
is 
this 
pent-up 

resentment among the city 
and among the city’s residents 
that the University of Michi-
gan doesn’t pay taxes, and we 
have to provide all these ser-
vices to U of M employees and 
students, for which they’re 
not compensating the city,” 
Petersen said.

However, 
she 
said 
City 

Council must put aside this 
resentment and find ways to 
collaborate with the Universi-
ty to promote job and company 
growth in Ann Arbor.

Petersen, who is currently 

chairwoman of Ann Arbor’s 
Commission 
on 
Disability 

Issues, said she also intends to 
raise awareness on City Coun-
cil about issues faced by people 
with disabilities.

Specifically, Petersen noted 

that the current crosswalk 
ordinance in Ann Arbor cre-
ates ambiguity and poses a 
danger to residents with dis-
abilities. The local ordinance 
states that drivers must stop 
for pedestrians waiting on the 
curb. However, because Uni-
versity police officers follow 
state law, they can’t enforce the 
ordinance.

“There’s 
some 
ambiguity 

that, through better commu-
nication, the city and the Uni-
versity can help to resolve,” she 
said.
