fellow in 2009, began working at
NPR in 2012, where she was the
Director of StateImpact, a project
that looked looked at how state

On Tuesday, the National Center
for Manufacturing Science and
the University of Michigan hosted
Michigan Robotics Day at the North
Campus Research Complex, a free
event held to showcase advancements
made by Michigan companies and
research organizations such as space
robotics and autonomous vehicles.
The day was comprised of
keynotes, demonstrations and
networking opportunities, aimed
to offer students an opportunity to
peer into the world of innovative
technology.
Danny Ellis, co-founder and CEO
at SkySpecs, and Bob Richards from
Stockbridge Robotics spoke at the
event.
Last year, the day drew nearly
650 students, as well as some younger
attendees. The host organization, MI
Robotics, tweeted a video of a group
of younger attendees playing with
some of the many robots exhibited at
the event.
According to the event’s website,
the center’s goals for the day
were to demonstrate the United
States’ involvement in the latest
technological developments and
to increase funding for robotics
research and science-, technology-,
engineering- and math-related fields.
The University of Michigan’s goals
were similary — raising awareness
and advocating for Michigan’s
technological strengths and aim to
“raise awareness of regional robotics
capabilities (and) Promote Michigan
STEM and industry strengths,”
according to their website.
Some of the presentations
garnered such attention beyond
campus, including a tweet from
U.S. Manufacturing in response to
one of the presentations made by
Chris Brewer, chief engineer at Ford
Motor Company, about autonomous
vehicles.

Eight-year-old Angel Mae Edmunds of Ann Arbor holds up a sign in protest of the deer cull at the Ann Arbor City Coun-
cil meeting in the City Council Chambers on February 1, 2016.
Two lawsuits over deer cull
reemerge during City Council
Litigation against
Ann Arbor come
up during Monday
meeting
By BRIAN KUANG
Daily Staff Reporter
Though the first iteration of
the controversial Ann Arbor
deer cull ended early March,
two lawsuits about the cull
remain active.
Discussion about both suits
filed by the anti-cull group
Ann Arbor residents for Public
Safety, one in federal court
and one in the Michigan Court
of Claims, was renewed this
week when anti-cull residents
appeared at Monday’s City
Council meeting.
Both lawsuits charge that the
respective entities within the
court’s jurisdiction — the city,
state or federal government
— proceeded with the cull
illegally
At Monday’s meeting, City
Attorney
Stephen
Postema
said the final ruling from
Federal Judge Arthur Tarnow
on the case in federal court is
expected soon. He also briefed
Council on the state case, filed
in February.
According to court records,
the city, state and federal
defendants in the federal case
all filed motions with the
U.S. District Court of Eastern
Michigan to dismiss the case
between Jan. 29 and Feb. 10,
on the basis that no laws were
being violated by the cull and
the plaintiffs lacked standing
to proceed. The presiding judge
ordered the plaintiffs to file a
response to these motions by
Tuesday, but the records do not
show any such response by the
plaintiffs being filed.
In January, Tarnow rejected
a claim from the Ann Arbor
Residents for Public Safety for
a temporary restraining order
on the cull, saying the plaintiffs
failed to prove there would be
immediate
and
irreversible
harm if the cull was not stopped
before a final ruling on the suit.
State court records show
the plaintiffs also requested an
emergency restraining order to
immediately halt the cull in the
case filed with the Michigan
Court of Claims, which was
denied on Feb. 18.
In
a
March
interview,
Barry Powers — the attorney
representing the plaintiffs in
both these cases — said the
second
lawsuit
specifically
targets the state by charging
that the Michigan Department
of Natural Resources illegally
overstepped
state
laws
regarding
urban
culling
and ceded power to the city
government.
“We’re
arguing
that
the
state, by ceding this power to
this municipality, is not doing
what it’s supposed to do …
and now you have the city of
Ann Arbor calling the shots,”
Powers said. “If the hunting
laws are not good enough to
control (the deer population)
through extending the open
season and increasing the bag
limit of deer during the hunting
season, then you need a specific
ad-hoc approach to it and you
need state laws to cover it.”
Powers said the immediate
goal of the new suit is to halt
all subsequent iterations of the
Ann Arbor cull, but his ultimate
goal is to force consistent
rule of law regarding wildlife

discussed
the
issue,
CSG
President-elect David Schafer,
an LSA junior, said the body
should advocate for and further
the kind of action described in
the resolution in their capacity as
representatives of students.
“I think CSG affirming its
support in standing and solidarity
with students who were targeted
over the last week, but more
especially
throughout
their
entire time at the University —
it’s of the utmost importance,”
he
said.
“Students
obviously
can’t turn to the administration
because we saw the University
administration’s response, or lack
thereof, last week.”
After the chalking, University
spokesman
Rick
Fitzgerald
released a statement saying the
University was committed to
creating an inclusive climate.
According to Fitzgerald, bias
response
teams
from
the
University looked into the incident
when it was first reported.
“We all understand that where
speech is free it will sometimes
wound,” Fitzgerald said in the
statement. “But our message is
this: We are fully committed
to
fostering
an
environment
that is welcoming and inclusive
of everyone. Tonight we are
reminded there is much work yet
to be done.”
Another
new
resolution
brought to the body for the first
time Tuesday night was also
passed. The resolution called for
supporting the inclusion of gender
pronouns students prefer with
their legal name in all University-
related settings.
The resolution also asked the
body to send an e-mail out to
students informing them of the
ability to specify their preferred
pronouns.
LSA sophomore Nick Meier,
co-author
of
the
resolution,
said according to the Office of
the Registrar, this would not
be difficult to incorporate on
Wolverine Access.
“If a professor or a GSI gets
the name and picture of every
student, they should as well get
their preferred pronouns,” he
said.
