Take Back the Night
and TedXUofM
seek road permits
for events
By MARLEE BREAKSTONE
Daily Staff Reporter
Focusing on athletes and
members of the military, the
University of Michigan Center
for Integrative Research in
Critical Care has partnered
with the Combat Casualty
Care
Research
Program
under the U.S. Department of
Defense to research traumatic
brain injury treatment.
Dr. Kevin Ward, director
of the MCIRCC and Fast
Forward Medical Innovation,
said the collaboration was key
to the research initiative.
“You have the great minds
and
integrated
science
teams at Michigan through
MCIRCC, which is focused
on critical illness and injury,”
Ward said. “You’ve got the
Department of Defense which
also has a lot of resources and
experience to bring. And then
you have this family from the
Detroit area that has made
this magnificent gift. When
you combine all these things, I
think that more is possible. It
is all about integration.”
For
student
athletes
at
the University brain injury
research
is
particularly
relevent, as many of them have
experienced
such
injuries
during their time as athletes.
Ani
Sarkisian,
forward
for the University’s women’s
soccer team, has had three
concussions. She said brain
injuries have a big impact on
athletes.
“I think any sport would
appreciate research on (severe
traumatic
brain
injuries)
done,” Sarkisian said. “We
would
really
appreciate
having any more prevention or
precautionary things done to
prevent concussions because
right now it’s the only thing
that really takes athletes out
of their sport. You can bring
them back from a hurt arm
or a torn ACL, but when it’s
about your brain it is a totally
different issue.”
The research is supported
by a 2015 donation to the
University from the Joyce
and
Don
Massey
Family
Foundation
donated
to
the University in 2015 to
fund research surrounding
technological
innovation,
patient/family
support,
clinical treatment and therapy
to those suffering from a
traumatic brain injury, or TBI.
The Foundation was set up to
honor a family member who
suffered from a TBI.
Department
of
Defense
service members and families
suffer from the most traumatic
brain injuries in the United
States, making brain injury
research a particular area of
interest for them as well. The
Department of Defense has
a unique level of experience
and resources to bring to
this
initiative,
including
field medics who will act as
mentors, according to a press
release.
Dr.
Ward
said
military
personnel’s constant exposure
to TBIs has the potential to
further enhance research in
the area.
“Over
these
years,
traumatic brain injuries have
been a huge problem for the
military, where it has sort of
become the signature injury,”
Ward said. “We have not,
holistically around the world
and medicine and science,
been able to move the dial.
There are very few benefits
to war, but one of those things
is
learning
about
trauma
medicine.”
Study could have
particular impact

At their meeting on Monday,
City Council members are slated
to discuss relations with the Uni-
versity, Take Back the Night and
TEDxUofM.
Resolution to Approve River-
side Park Parking Lot and Lease
with the University of Michigan
The Ann Arbor City Council
will consider a resolution that
would allow the University to use
city-owned land as a parking lot.
If the resolution is approved,
the University will acquire the
right to use 18 parking spaces
located off Canal Street in Ann
Arbor.
Eight votes are required for the
approval of this resolution.
The University would be per-
mitted to use the land for a dura-
tion of two years, from March 1,
2016 through Feb. 28, 2018 with
the option of renewing the lease
when it ends. During this time,
the University would pay the
city a yearly rental fee of $12,177
which is $676.50 per parking spot.
Each party would be respon-
sible for its own liabilities and
insurance as related to the prop-
erty in question. No third party
would be permitted to use or ben-
efit from the land.
City Council has passed resolu-
tions in the past renting parking
lot spaces to the University. In
2014, the city passed a resolution
allowing the University to rent
parking lots off Fuller Road in
Ann Arbor for a duration of two
years with an option to renew at
the end of this period.
Resolution to Approve Street
Closings for the 2016 Take Back
the Night Rally and March
A resolution for permission to
close city streets on April 6, 2016
for the 38th annual Take Back the
Night event.
Take Back the Night is a protest
against sexual assault that aims
to allows survivors and support-
ers to speak out against sexual
violence and rape culture.
Each year, this event sees
participation
from
University
students and faculty as well as
members of the Ann Arbor com-
munity.
If approved, the resolution
will allow portions of South State
Street, East Liberty Street, South
Fourth Street, West William
Street, Thompson Street and East
Madison Street to be closed dur-
ing the event.
Resolution to Approve Street
Closings
for
the
TEDxUofM
Event
A second street closing reso-
lution will be presented, asking
for approval to shut down Wash-
ington Street between Thayer
and Fletcher streets from 6 p.m.
on March 31 to 6 p.m. on April 1,
2016.
The shutdown is for the 7th
annual TEDxUofM conference.
Last year’s conference drew a
crowd of 1,700 people
The theme for this year’s
conference has not yet been
announced. In past years, themes
have
included
“Constructive
Interference,”
“Against
the
Grain” and “Inform/Transform.”

using race in their admissions,
Fisher v. University of Texas.
The Fisher case echoes a suit
that was brought against the
University over its use of race
in admissions to the Supreme
Court in 2003, Gratz v. Bol-
linger. Though the court uti-
mately ruled that parts of the
University’s affirmative action
were legal, in a subsequent
2006 ballot proposal banned
the use of race, gender and
other demographic elements in
public college admissions in the
state.
During the panel, Kedra
Ishop, associate vice president
for enrollment management at
the University, said she under-
stands the precarious situa-
tion of admissions and the role
race plays in it. Ishop told the
panel that for every applicant
to the University, the admis-
sions office must consider what
lead the prospective student
to apply and who they are as
students in order to identify
possible advantages and dis-
advantages in the admissions
process.
“How do we know, think
about and communicate with
our student body about who we
are; and with the way we rep-
resent test scores; and how we
represent our student body?”
Ishop said. “Certain popula-
tions don’t apply to us because
they think they can’t get in.
Low-income
students
don’t
apply as much and we have to
change how we represent our-
selves to them.”
Overall, the panel agreed
that it is time to finish what
was started during the Civil
Rights Movement.
Nancy
Cantor,
chancellor
of Rutgers University, said all
universities should strive for
inclusion to give all students a
pathway to opportunity.
“We need to think of our
place in the world. It’s about
what is happening and what has
happened,” Cantor said. “We
are in a paradoxical moment
where we are dramatically
changing. How are we going to
be the engines of opportunity
that universities supposedly
have always been?”
