During 
a 
community 

conversation on race and campus 
climate 
Sunday, 
University 

of Michigan President Mark 
Schlissel listened to student 
concerns and emphasized the 
impact he hopes the upcoming 
release of a University-wide 
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion 
plan will have on campus.

The conversation, announced 

on Wednesday, was planned 
in response to racially charged 
fliers that were hung in Mason 
and Haven Halls last week. 
The fliers, along with a planned 
debate over the merits of the 
Black Lives Matter movement, 

prompted large student protests 
throughout the week.

Both 
events 
occurred 
a 

week before the release of the 
University’s 
Diversity, 
Equity 

and Inclusion strategic plan, a 
year-long 
initiative 
launched 

by Schlissel last September and 
slated to be announced Thursday.

Schlissel told the crowd that 

he believes the success of his 
presidency rests on the execution 
of the plan, and his ability to 
improve climate on campus.

He also stressed the need to 

get students involved in resolving 
campus climate issues, noting 
low attendance at events.

Four forums held by LSA 

over the past few weeks about 
their portion of the strategic 

Cecilia Muñoz, director of the 

White House Domestic Policy 
Council, and a panel of experts 
from Rust Belt cities in the U.S. 
drew more than 100 attendees to 
explore the crucial relationships 
between municipal, state and 
national governments for the 
implementation of the Obama 
administration’s 
“place-based” 

approach to domestic policy.

Muñoz, 
a 
University 
of 

Michigan alum, was also the 
Towsley Foundation Policymaker 

in Residence at the Public Policy 
School in 2007.

The panel was comprised of five 

public servants from the Rust Belt 
cities of Youngstown, Ohio; Gary, 
Ind.; and Detroit, each highlighting 
the 
role 
of 
cooperation 
on 

municipal, state and national levels 
in the “place-based”approach the 
Obama administration has taken 
to domestic policy. Rust Belt cities 
refer to Midwestern and northern 
American 
cities 
characterized 

by declining industry and falling 
populations.

Youngstown and former United

and

remediation superintendent for 
the city of Youngstown, described 
the 
city’s 
unique 
cooperative 

relationship 
in 
tackling 
the 

problem of abandoned or vacant 
housing. Looking for ways to cut 
down on training costs for the 
Youngstown Air Reserve Station, 
Riley made use of the Realistic 
Military Training Program to kill 
two birds with one stone.

Gov. Rick Snyder (R) speaks at the Let’s End Campus Sexual Assault Summit at the North Campus Research Complex Friday.

Michigan 
first 
lady 
Sue 

Snyder hosted the second annual 
“Inform. Empower. Prevent. Let’s 
End Campus Sexual Assault” 
summit Friday at the University of 

Michigan where representatives 
from Greek life, athletics and 
state 
government 
discussed 

rising sexual assault numbers and 
strategies for eliminating sexual 
assault on college campuses.

The summit featured a variety 

of speakers and panels, including 
an athletic panel as well as panels 
on bystander intervention and 

rape culture.

Gov. Rick Snyder, first lady Sue 

Snyder and their daughter, LSA 
junior Kelsey Snyder, kicked off 
the event with remarks on the 
importance of creating a dialogue 
on sexual assault and working 
to end sexual assault on college 
campuses.

In his remarks, Gov. Snyder said 

sexual assault has historically been 
one of the most underrepresented 
issues in society, and legislatures 
and colleges need to be doing more 
to combat it. He said summits 
like this one are a powerful step 
forward, but also encouraged 
people to go out and take action to 
individually facilitate change.

The first top-10 matchup in Ann 

Arbor since 2003 was expected 
to be a defensive showdown, and 
with the sun setting over Michigan 
Stadium in the fourth quarter, it 
looked like a showdown in which 
the 
fourth-ranked 
Wolverines 

might come up short.

Despite 
outgaining 
No. 
8 

Wisconsin by nearly 200 yards, 
Michigan had struggled to get 
anything going after scoring a 
touchdown on the first play of the 
second quarter. The Badgers had 
stopped every drive, sacked and 
picked off redshirt sophomore 
quarterback Wilton Speight and 
capitalized on three missed field 
goals to put the Wolverines’ backs 
against the wall.

But Speight reached back for one 

big play — a 46-yard touchdown 
pass to fifth-year senior wide 
receiver Amara Darboh with 7:56 
to play — and it put Michigan back 
on top, 14-7. And as it has all season, 
the Wolverines’ defense took care 
of the rest.

Michigan stopped Wisconsin 

three times in the final quarter
