Grand
Rapids
community
leaders Mike and Sue Jandernoa
are donating $4.3 million to
expand scholarships at the Ross
School of Business, contribute to
fellowships at the Ford School
of Public Policy and assist the
University of Michigan School
of Education’s TeachingWorks
organization,
the
University
announced Thursday.
The statement said $3 million
of the couple’s donation would
be dedicated to a TeachingWorks
parternship with schools in Grand
Rapids, with a specific interest in
improving students’ mathematics
proficiency. TeachingWorks is
a national organization based at
the School of Education, seeking
to improve entry-level teachers’
preparation for the classroom.
The Jandernoas emphasized the
importance of the mathematical
readiness in order to improve the
number and quality of jobs college
graduates are offered.
The Jandernoas recognized
lapses in students’ mathematical
abilities, specifically in western
Michigan.
The
statement
referenced
recent
results
of
Michigan
Department
of
Education testing, which revealed
troubling data on math proficiency
in the area. Grand Rapids is
located in Kent County, where
proficiency was barely above 40
percent for third graders, and
below that marker for eighth
graders.
“Just at the time when the
current workforce needs better
math skills, our high school
graduates
have
significantly
less math understanding and
proficiency,” Mike Jandernoa
said. “We must help these
students in math now so they
can have successful jobs in the
future.”

Every Friday, one Daily news staffer will give a behind
the scenes look at one of this week’s stories. This week,
LSA junior Alexa St. John interviewed Rupert Allman, the
producer of NPR’s politics show, “1A.”
“One of the most interesting things about interviewing
Rupert Allman from “1A” is that all of the producers there
are really cognizant of who their audience currently is and
who they want their audience to be. It’s interesting because
a radio show, which traditionally now isn’t necessarily the
most popular medium for news consumption, they’re really
working to expand both online and offline, and look into
different avenues of expanding who their audience currently
is and making sure that they’re covering all the important
issues that they want in different ways.“
LSA junior Alexa St. John, “Ahead of event at Rackham
this week, The Daily interviews producer of NPR’s “1A,”
Rupert Allman”

QUOTE OF THE WE E K
“
U of M is so well off that, unlike many employers,
they have seldom demanded concessions, i.e. lower wages
or benefits, in bargaining. But neither have they been
eager to pay us better, despite our low rate of pay relative
to K-12 teachers and community college faculty. In short,
we’re demanding big changes. Over the last 35 years of
corporatization, U of M, and public higher ed more
generally, has drifted a long way from where it ought to
be. We can’t get back on track without a major course
correction.“

Mike and Sue Jandernoa give millions

at one of our nation’s schools,”
Schlissel said. “If we really
can’t figure out how to keep our
children safe, then there really
isn’t much else that matters.”
Schlissel also spoke on the
recent wave of sexual assault
and harassment conversations
in higher education, Hollywood
and the general public, an issue
that has generated great publicity
surrounding the trials of Larry
Nassar, a former Michigan State
University and USA Olympics
doctor. In addition to Nassar’s
charges,
former
Michigan
Medicine doctor Mark Hoeltzel
was recently arrested for child
pornography
and
is
under
investigation for sexual relations
with a patient. Schlissel said the
University will be taking active
measures, such as the hiring of
an outside expert, to improve the
reporting processes for survivors
as well as the handling of cases
reported to the University.
Regent Denise Ilitch (D)
echoed Schlissel’s sentiments
and
urged
those
who
have
experienced
assault
and harassment not to be
afraid to speak out against
perpetrators.
“I really want to speak to
the UM community and say:
Report, report, report,” Ilitch
said.
