The case, brought for- ward by the Center for Indi- vidual Rights on the behalf of Patrick Hamacher and Jennifer Gratz, was heard 15 years ago this week by Judge Patrick Duggan. Hamacher and Gratz were two white applicants to LSA who argued the use of race as a factor in Univer- sity admissions resulted in their rejections. Both the University and the Center of Individual Rights hoped Judge Dug- gan submitted motions for a summary judgment, mean- ing the case would not go to trial. A summary judg- ment would have ended the case at the district level. The Center for Individual Rights argued that the 14th Amendment of the Consti- tution, which calls for equal protection under the law, prohibits race from being a factor in admission poli- cies. The University, on the other hand, employed the 1978 Supreme Court case of Regents of the University of California v. Bakke to justi- fy the use of race in applica- tions as long as the policies did not employ quotas. The case eventually made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court, along with another case challenging the University Law School’s use of affirmative action. The court ruled LSA’s policy that employed a point-based system uncon- stitutional, but upheld the law school’s consideration of race as one of many fac- tors while using a holistic approach to evaluate can- didates. In 2006, Michigan voters enacted a ban on the use of affirmative action in admis- sions. — ISABELLA AGRUSA 420 Maynard St. Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1327 www.michigandaily.com The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967) is published Monday through Friday during the fall and winter terms by students at the University of Michigan.

ANDREW COHEN/Daily Christine Asidao, associate director of community engagement for Counseling and Psychological Services, discusses with students how to coordinate student groups focused on mental health at the first Mental Health Summit, sponsored by CSG and CAPS at the Michigan Union on Saturday. CSG and CAPS partner to host mental health summit University research shows adolescent stress carries into young adulthood By IRENE PARK Daily Staff Reporter The harmful effects of anxiety experienced during adolescence may carry into young adulthood. That’s according to a recent study from University research- ers that followed 176 Black youth from Flint, Mich. over seven years — from 1994 to 2001 — and showed anxiety from the their adolescent years affected their stress hormone levels in young adulthood. Previous studies have shown similar trends, but not spe- cifically in Black populations. The researchers looked at levels of cortisol, a hormone produced by the body during times of stress, that raises the level of sugar in the bloodstream. The brain can then use the extra sugar as energy for helping think through the stress- ful situation. Cortisol helps in dealing with acute, short-term stress. How- ever, anxiety causes prolonged production of cortisol, which is detrimental for the body. Chronic cortisol production is associated with numerous diseases and con- ditions, including cardiovascular diseases, obesity, diabetes, anxiety, depression and sleep disorders. The study, published earlier this month in International Jour- nal of Endocrinology and Metabo- lism, is not the first to look at how anxiety in adolescence affects cortisol levels in adulthood, but it is the first to do so in Black youths. Most previous studies looked at middle-class white populations. Shervin Assari, a Psychiatry research faculty member and head of the research team, said he looked specifically at young Black individuals from Flint because of the problems many face due to low-income backgrounds and rac- ism. “For Black youths, some life challenges include living in an unsafe environment, discrimina- tion at interpersonal level and rac- ism in a structural level,” Assari wrote in an e-mail to The Michi- gan Daily. Assari defined “structural rac- ism” as societal barriers for a pop- ulation’s access to resources, such as education and employment opportunities. The study analyzed male and female participants separately, as gender is known to shape what kind of stress people experience. “Men and women have very different life experiences and exposures that make them differ- ently vulnerable or resilient to the effect of risk and protective fac- tors,” Assari wrote. The team saw an overproduc- tion of cortisol in females if they had anxiety symptoms in their adolescent years, but not nec- essarily in males. In males, the overproduction was instead asso- ciated with alcohol use in adoles- cent years. Psychology Prof. Marc Zim- merman said one of the caveats for this study was that the team looked at young adulthood — or early 20s — which may not be able to be considered complete adult- hood because the brain is still developing. “It can be argued that is not yet complete adulthood,” he said. “Some researchers suggest that the brain doesn’t fully develop until the age of 25.” Still, Zim- merman said the study still has important implications. “(The stresses) create prob- lems in terms of our physical and mental health,” he said. “They are persistent. They are not just ephemeral. Our job as adults is to create safe and healthy environ- ments as much as we can … to help our society as a whole.” Event aims to foster collaboration among student orgs focused on mental health By CAITLIN REEDY Daily Staff Reporter On Saturday, student organiza- tions dedicated to mental health came together to create a uniform approach to addressing these issues at the University. Central Student Government paired with Counseling and Psy- chological Services to host the University’s first mental health summit. The outlined goal for the summit was to inspire coopera- tion between the leaders of differ- ent student organizations focusing on mental health across campus. About 10 of these organizations were represented at the meeting. CAPS director Todd Sevig said important progress has been made toward improving the men- tal health climate on campus in the last couple of years, and this change has been, in part, spear- headed by student organizations pushing for the expansion of Uni- versity resources for wellness. CSG President Cooper Charlton, an LSA senior, said these efforts could ben- efit from being more collaborative. “I think we all are doing a lot of phenomenal things on campus, but often times we’re very busy and aren’t on the same page,” Charlton said. “This is kind of a flag in the ground to bring a lot of strong lead- ers together around mental health and understand what everyone else’s vision and goals are, and find ways that we can empower each other.” Participants sat at round tables with a CSG and CAPS member present to interact with students and faculty members at each of the roughly 10 tables. The CSG mem- ber facilitated the talks, during which student organization rep- resentatives shared the vision and goals of their respective clubs. LSA freshman Shelby Stever- son, a member of CAPS in Action, a new club created to promote CAPS over social media, said she enjoyed the discussions she had at the event. “I really love hearing every- one else’s ideas for how we can improve mental health on campus and how we can reduce that stigma and show people that you can get help no matter what is going on,” Steverson said. The CSG facilitator posed ques- tions on topics such as funding needs, their organization’s current initiatives the organizations and each participant’s individual goals for the summit. Information senior Sonia Doshi, president of the Healthy Minds Coalition, said she feels the increasing number of mental health organizations on campus has caused a “diffusion of advo- cacy” among groups. “I’m interested in figuring out ways that we can share ideas and get together more often so that we know what’s going on on campus and then create a bigger impact,” Doshi said. After sharing the various goals and plans of the organizations present, each table brainstormed ways their clubs could work together to make a tangible impact. Sevig said he came up with the idea to host the summit two years ago after various groups organizing around mental health expressed interest in creating a collaborative effort to change the stigma surrounding mental health on campus.
