CAMPUS EVENTS & NOTES
Panel discusses implications of the
expiration of DACA for students
DACA will not officially end until March 2018, though many see consequences now
The Hispanic Business Students
Association hosted an open panel
regarding the dissolution of the
Deferred Action for Childhood
Arrivals
and
its
impacts
on
University of Michigan students
and staff Thursday at the Ross
School of Business’s Blau Hall.
About 55 students, prospective
students and faculty members
attended the event.
President
Donald
Trump
announced the end of the program,
which protected undocumented
child immigrants from deportation
as long as they maintained certain
requirements and lacked significant
criminal history, in early September.
However, DACA will only officially
dissolve on March 5, 2018.
Business Dean Scott DeRue
gave the opening remarks, citing
the conversation’s importance and
the school’s lawful responsibility to
support students.
“There are two guiding principles
to every decision that we make
as a University and as a business
school,” DeRue said. “First, we have
to be lawful. Second, everything
that we do with the law is going
to be student-centric and student-
focused. We will do everything in
our lawful power to support you.”
Panelist
Jesse
Hoffnung-
Garskof, associate professor of
History and American Culture,
then moved to debriefing the history
of DACA and the societal gaps in
American immigration policy. He
also noted that illegal immigration
peaked in 2007 and that since then,
immigrant migration has been a net
negative.
“From my perspective, because
immigration
reform
over
the
last 30 years has focused almost
exclusively on enforcement and
criminalization,
the
population
that is now undocumented faces
a wider gap (or as wide a gap as
has ever existed in this country)
between
people
of
different
statuses,” Hoffnung-Garskof said.
“You can think of immigration
law as the law of determining who
and how people get in, or you can
think of immigration law as the
law of determining how people of
different statuses have different
access to rights and benefits.”
The panel then moved to a
discussion of legal parameters
by
Rebeca
Ontiveros-Chavez,
attorney
and
Department
of
Justice-accredited representative
for the Michigan Immigrant Rights
Center, who said she herself is a
former DACA recipient. Ontiveros-
Chavez explained how the removal
of DACA will affect recipients’
higher education, driving, travel,
finances and other means.
“In terms of driving after the
DACA resignation, if you have
a Michigan driver’s license, a
Michigan driver’s license is only
valid in the same period as you
have proof of legal status,” she said.
“Once your proof of legal status
expires, the license is no longer
valid, unless you obtain another
form of legal presence under
Michigan law.”
LSA junior Daniel Lopez said
he works with undocumented
students on campus and plans to
use what he learned at the panel to
assist the groups he works with.
“I
am
an
advocate
for
immigration reform, so what we do
is gather all of the information we
can and then get this information
to our community to have them
call their elected representatives,”
Lopez said. “We should have a
clean DREAM Act.”
For those who are facing
anxiety over the termination of
DACA, Business graduate student
Elizabeth Padilla, vice president
of the HSBA, gave advice on
attempting to live a normal life
while encountering immigration
challenges.

News
The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com
Every Friday, The Michigan Daily
will be republishing an article from
the Daily’s archives from a moment in
University history.
December 9, 1983
— When
the pressure of final exams gets
too intense for LSA junior Shelly
McNamara, she punches out her
stuffed animals.
LSA sophomore David Pascal and
his roommates drove his car through
the East Engineering arch Wednesday
night just to release some study
tension.
Residence hall staffs attributed a
monstrous snowball fight between
nearly 150 students from Markley,
Couzens, and Mosher Jordan
dormitories Tuesday night to pre-
finals anxiety.
And even the most restrained
students might let loose a primal
scream to make it through late nights
of cramming a neglected semester’s
worth of reading into only a few hours.
While today marked the last day
of classes, it also signifies the start of
the most intense days of the semester.
Study days — the University’s gift of
time to students before the final exam
anvil falls on their fact-filled heads
— put students in their own world of
study anxiety.
It is a time when students live on
caffeine and candy bars, when they
disappear into campus libraries to
master academic feats such as learning
a semester of organic chemistry in 48
hours.
“You push yourself to the limit
(during study days),” said Jennifer
Clark, an Alice Lloyd resident adviser.
“You push yourself farther than you
thought you could.”
The darker side of people’s
personalities emerge during finals
week. Tempers grow short. Vision
narrows to immediate study goals as
each student struggles with his or her
own feelings of panic.
Students walking the tightrope
of pressure during study days find
different ways to release tension —
some more unusual than others.
LSA sophomore Melissa McDaniel
plays with eight wind-up Smurf dolls
and tries to get the toys all walking at
the same time.
Some of her friends pull out crayons
and coloring books to cope with final
exam pressures.
By tackling such simple tasks,
students can build their confidence,
she said.
Winding up dolls “is not too tough,
and it’s something I know I can do,”
said McDaniel.
Sometimes it’s worth doing these
things just for a laugh, she added.
“You don’t get to laugh much
during finals week. Unless you stay up
late and get giddy,” she said.
McNamara, the South Quad RA
who abuses stuffed animals, said she
picked up odd strategies for coping
with finals pressure from a former
resident director who told her to
throw plastic glasses against the wall.
Pascal, the bold LSA sophomore
who ran his car through the
Engineering arch said students
become crazier during exams to
combat the tense atmosphere on
campus.
“You do fun things you wouldn’t do
under normal situations to counteract
the effects of sitting in the library,”
he said.
Lisa Koppelberger, who was doing
last-minute work on a paper at the
Graduate Library last night, said the
competitive nature of the University is
partly to blame for the pressure during
finals week. Although the LSA junior
said she isn’t too concerned with
grades, there is still the feeling that
“you hope everyone else is having as
much trouble as you are.”
“EVERY conversation you hear is
about finals,” she said.
Becoming too preoccupied with
studying however, can be hazardous
to your health, according to University
Senior Counselor Tom Morson.
Students can become so overwhelmed
by their study anxiety they begin to
link their academic performance to
their self esteem, he said.
Students can put so much emphasis
on their grades that marks begin to
define their self worth, Morson said.
An “A” paper means the student is an
“A” person, and depression balloons as
the grade drops.
