MONOLOGUES!
SNOW DAY
Boston University will offer
Saturday classes this semester
to make up for a high number of
snow days.
Over the last 30 days, the Bos-
ton area has accumulated about
73.3 inches of snow, The Daily
Free Press reported. The univer-
sity canceled five of the semes-
ter’s 18 days thus far. To help
professors and students catch up
with the time missed, the univer-
sity created an opportunity for
classes to be held on two Satur-
days.
Professors are allowed to
require attendance, but profes-
sors and students are expected to
work together to alleviate sched-
uling conflicts.
The semester’s five snow days
broke Boston University records.
University of Kansas students
fight back against tweet
Earlier this month, the Twitter
account for the Jayhawk Buddy
System, a university-sponsored
risk management initiative, post-
ed an offensive tweet that drew
widespread negative feedback
from students.
The tweet stated: “S/O to all
those (mostly ladies I might add)
who are getting their road work
in this am.”
University of Kansas students
responded to the tweet, arguing it
was sexist and offensive, The Uni-
versity Daily Kansan reported.
Students said they believed the
tweet was aimed toward women
making the “walk of shame.”
The account is directly associ-
ated with the school, and tweeted
in defense, “This account has
always focused on the positive
behaviors of students and that
post was no different.”
The
account’s
moderators
claimed that the tweet was aimed
at those who were motivated to
be out exercising.
The original tweet has been
deleted and university officials
are investigating the source and
reason behind it.

Universities earn $5 million
grant for long-term research
‘U’ joins 14 colleges
to offer multi-
year projects for
undergraduates
By EMMA KILBANE
For the Daily
A group of 15 institutions,
including the University, have
received a $5 million grant to
fund long-term research oppor-
tunities for undergraduate and
master’s students.
The grant, funded by the
Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley
Charitable Trust, will establish
the Vertically Integrated Proj-
ects consortium, an expansion of
a similar research program cur-
rently running on campus. The
Helmsley Trust, in part, aims to
increase the diversity and num-
ber of students entering STEM
fields upon graduation.
The VIP consortium would
allow groups of approximately
10 to 30 students to conduct
research with leading faculty
researchers — projects that could
continue throughout a student’s
undergraduate
career,
rather
than just a semester or academic
year.
There are currently eight
long-term research teams at the
University, and with additional
funding the University hopes to
effectively double that number
within three years. The expan-
sion could result in the creation
of nearly 300 student research
positions.
Gail Hohner, managing direc-
tor of the College of Engineer-
ing’s Multidisciplinary Design
Program, said VIP projects typi-
cally include elements of design,
building and testing.
“The process of conducting
research is highly iterative, with
many attempts failing before
success is identified,” she said.
“Students will have an active role
in each iteration, learning along
with the faculty where successes
might be found, and where they
won’t. This level of involvement
is only possible in a multi-term
engagement.”
For undergraduates, the proj-
ects present opportunities to
assume leadership positions, as
well as a chance to form a strong
foundation in research. The proj-
ects are engineering based, but
students from all disciplines are
encouraged to apply, as many
involve a variety of roles.
University teams are current-
ly working to model Great Lakes
water flows, develop connected
vehicle
technology
and
test
smartphone-sized spacecraft.
Engineering freshman Sarah
Peterson said she is interested
in pursuing more long-term
research opportunities at the
University, making this project
particularly appealing.
“I’m
not
currently
doing
research, but I feel like if there
was a way to stay with one proj-
City Council considers adopting
road improvement resolution
If passed, the plans
could reduce traffic
and foster economic
development
By ANASTASSIOS
ADAMOPOLOUS
Daily Staff Reporter
The Ann Arbor City Council
convened Tuesday evening to dis-
cuss a number of issues, includ-
ing a resolutions to adopt the
Reimagine Washtenaw Corridor
Improvement Study and another
proposal to proceed with the
Housing Affordability and Equity
Analysis.
After a lengthy deliberation,
City Council decided to postpone
the vote to adopt the Reimagine
Washtenaw Corridor Improve-
ment Study. Councilmember Jane
Lumm (I–Ward 2) suggested the
vote be postponed until April 20.
The 18-month study recom-
mends changes be made in the
Washtenaw
Avenue
corridor,
including the addition of a wide
median cross boulevard section, a
four travel lane with wide median
and biking lanes and the inclusion
of “The Michigan Left Turns” for
wide median segments.
The plan aims to reduce traf-
fic and further foster economic
development for the business in
the area. The study asks for the
participation of nearby regions
including the city of Ann Arbor,
Pittsfield Township, city of Ypsi-
lanti and Ypsilanti Township.
Ann Arbor Mayor Christopher
Taylor (D) supported the adop-
tion of the plan and voted against
postponing the vote to adopt the
resolution, noting the study’s rec-
ommendations are not binding.
Several councilmembers were
concerned about a number of
issues with the resolution. One of
the primary concerns expressed
by
multiple
councilmembers
was that many business owners
affected by the resolution were
not consulted on the matter.
Councilmember Stephen Kun-
selman (D–Ward 3), who favored
postponing the vote, said these
recommendations
could
take
parking spaces away from stores.
He said the money for the proj-
ect should instead be used to fix
roads.
“There are too many driveway
cuts on Washtenaw for a boule-
vard and the Michigan Left to
work,” Kunselman said. “You are
not going able to service every
driveway or business that is along
Washtenaw.”
Councilmember
Graydon
Krapohl (D–Ward 4) said he
favored adopting the resolution
because the study acts as a map
guiding the city’s direction for the
corridor.
“To go down the continued
path that we are (in), to have
Washtenaw as it is would be a
complete disaster,” Krapohl said.
“I mean it’s not going to get better.
It’s not going to improve.”
Despite postponing a vote on
the study, City Council approved
the adoption of the Housing
Affordability and Equity Analysis
with a vote of 10 to one.
The analysis supports building
3,139 affordable housing units in
Ann Arbor and Pittsfield Town-
ship until 2035. It also suggests
building 4,178 new middle class
households in Ypsilanti.
