A
group
of
University
of
Michigan
faculty
members have developed a
monitored Canvas site called
Teamworks, which will allow
students who do not feel safe
on campus to connect with
one another to walk home and
around campus.
Teamworks will be open
to students by permission
only
and
interested
individuals must email Anne
Berg, assistant director of
undergraduate studies and
the primary faculty member
on
the
projectm
to
gain
access.
The site comes in response
to a number of incidents that
have happened on campus
following
the
election
of
Donald Trump two weeks
ago.
Just
days
after
the
election, a female student
was told to remove her hijab
or she would be lit on fire,
and another female student
was pushed down a hill and
yelled at for being in America.
In addition, a male student
woke up to a swastika painted
on his apartment door last
weekend, and a woman’s face
was cut by an unknown man
last Tuesday while walking
on Liberty Street.
Other groups on campus
have
initiated
similar
programs
in
the
past,
including SafeRide, a free
service
that
transports
students, faculty and staff
within a one-mile radius of
campus.
Additionally,
five
Ross
School
of
Business
students
developed
the
now-internationally
recognized Companion app
last year. S.A.F.E. WALK,
a
campus
accompaniment
service coordinated by the
Department of Public Safety
and Security, also provides
walking
partners
free
of
charge
to
all
University
members.
In the aftermath of the four
incidents, other organizations
have also been holding self-
defense
programs
more
frequently. Beyond the Diag, a
program provided to students
living off-campus, held a self-
defense workshop just after
the election. The University
International
Center
will
hold a self-defense session
Saturday
at
the
Trotter
Multicultural Center.

Serious question.

The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com
As a result of crimes occurring near
campus in recent weeks, the University
of Michigan Department of Public
Security and Safety has bolstered
security in hopes of preventing future
incidents.
University Police spokeswoman
Diane Brown said DPSS is taking
necessary precautions to ensure the
safety of students, faculty and staff.
“The University police indeed have
increased their patrols particularly in
the Central Campus area due to the fact
that these incidents have been reported
to be right near Central Campus,” she
said. “I’m also aware that the Ann
Arbor Police have done likewise.”
DPSS has released two crime
alerts in the past two weeks, both
for incidents classified as ethnic
intimidation, a type of hate crime.
On the evening of Nov. 11, a student
was approached on East William Street
near South State Street by a man who
demanded she remove her hijab. The
man threatened to set her on fire if she
did not comply. On Nov. 12, a female
student near the intersection of South
University Avenue and Washtenaw
Avenue was approached by two men
who pushed her down a hill after
yelling at her about being in America
and making religious references.
Brown said DPSS hopes people will
contact police as soon as possible upon
witnessing an offense to minimize any
further threats.
“We are also very attuned to
listening for any other reports of
suspicious activity and hopeful that
people indeed will be contacting police
when incidents do occur,” she said.
“The sooner they contact police, the
more likelihood there is for police to
still be able to find perpetrators in
whatever location the incident might
happen or at least be able to clarify if
the suspicious activity is benign.”
A third campus incident occurred
on the afternoon of Nov. 15 when
an unknown man cut a woman’s
face with a safety pin on East
Liberty Street, which is still under
investigation, according to Brown.
It is currently listed as an assault —
not an aggravated assault or ethnic
intimidation.
“We’re working with the
Ann Arbor Police to monitor any
developments that they might have in
this incident,” she said. “Right now it’s
a non-aggravated assault. They haven’t
confirmed elements of a hate crime.”
