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.

2 — Friday, October 13, 2017
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.
