with a faith that is literally being
targeted every single day by not
only this administration but the
media, could run and win and
make history,” Tlaib said in an
interview with Detroit News.
Tlaib
joins
a
competitive
candidate field in the 13th
district. Among her opposition
include Conyers’s 27-year-old
son, John Conyers III and his
great-nephew, state Sen. Ian
Conyers.
Aside from her career, Tlaib
is occupied fulfilling the duties
of a mother to her two sons. The
Daily sat down with Tlaib to
discuss a typical day in her life
as both candidate and mother,
which
involves
balancing
attending meetings with making
lunches
and
laundry
with
campaign calls.
“I’m a mom,” Tlaib said. “A lot
of it is obviously balancing my
children and their needs with
being able to get the campaign
moving.”
A day in Tlaib’s busy life may
look something like this:
5 a.m.: She rises early to catch
up on writing thank you notes
that need to be sent.
7 a.m.: Tlaib makes sure her
kids are awake and getting ready
for school in the morning. She
often reviews the daily schedule
with them, so that they know
who will be picking them up
from school and what the
evening agenda is going to look
like. After breakfast, she and
the boys head out the door for
school.
9 a.m.: In the mornings, Tlaib
likes to do some form of cardio
for daily exercise.
10:30 a.m.: Tlaib usually starts
holding meetings around 10:30
or 11 a.m. This often involves
meeting with precinct delegates
and members throughout the
12 different cities in Michigan’s
13th congressional district.
12 p.m. to 5 p.m.: During the
afternoons, Tlaib is out the door
and running from the office to
meetings until the evening. She
typically goes into the office and
works to raise money for the
campaign. Tlaib often travels
to meet directly with people
across the district.
6 p.m.: In the evening, Tlaib
returns home to make dinner
for the family and lunches for
the boys for the next day.
But no day in the life of
Tlaib is the same, and she often
compromises between her roles
as both a politician and a mom.
“Even
yesterday,
my
son
didn’t have school, my youngest,
so it was kind of a laundry day,”
Tlaib said. “So I made campaign
calls while I did laundry for my
D.C. fundraiser.”
Tlaib, as the eldest of 14
children, is accustomed to the
act of juggling her personal and
professional lives.
“Juggling a lot of family with
work and school is something
I’ve done,” Tlaib said. “Even
when I was earning my law
degree, I worked full time
Monday through Friday and
then took weekend classes for
three years. It wasn’t fun, but I
think my grandmother and my
mom pretty much instilled in
me that you just get it done.”
Tlaib clearly applies this same
ambition and time management
to her current life.
“Now, I’m leaving a little bit
early to go to parent-teacher
conferences at 4 p.m. and then
dropping off my two boys at
drama camp and then heading
back in for a cabinet meeting at
7 p.m.,” Tlaib said.
Tlaib’s
campaign
involves
constant communication and
conversations with Michigan
citizens, which motivate and
propel her the most.
“There
is
a
lot
of
communication, a lot of direct
human contact with people
throughout
the
districts,”
Tlaib said. “That is something
actually I get a lot of energy
from, is talking to people. It’s
more of the traveling and some
of the logistics for events and
things that I’m really blessed to
have an incredible team that’s
more than happy to take that
on.”
While Tlaib is energized by
running for Congress, she has
encountered
some
pushback
due to her gender and ethnicity.
She
describes
experiencing
heightened public scrutiny on
her appearance and actions as a
woman.
“That’s one thing I don’t miss,
having this kind of microscope
on how I look and how I say
things,” Tlaib said.
10 minutes from Central Campus.
He
explained
having
more
information on the commuter
student population or following
patterns of other state universities
would help the University better
acknowledge
students
who
commute from home.
“I think even looking at the
state of Michigan in general, most
of the other colleges in the area,
even if you look at Michigan State
or Wayne State and a couple of
those places, have better programs
built in for helping students
navigate that space and having
spots available for them … where
it’s more convenient,” Chaudry
said. “U-M doesn’t really have
as much in comparison to them,
and I know a lot of schools also
track more heavily how many
students (commute) so they can
focus on whether they need to put
funding towards things like that.
I think that’s one thing that (the
University) can probably improve
on.”
Other state universities, such
as Eastern Michigan University,
Michigan
Technological
University, Northern Michigan
University
and
Ferris
State
University,
currently
offer
programs, presentations or other
resources for commuter students.
According to University Logistics,
Transportation
and
Parking,
student parking permits are only
available to students with junior
standing and above. Typically,
junior and seniors would be most
likely to live in Ann Arbor but,
according to the U.S. Census
Bureau, the median rent in the city
has risen 14 percent from 2010 to
2015, showing a considerable cost
to upperclassmen who chose to live
off-campus instead of commute.
For freshmen and sophomores
like Alston and Chaudry, student
storage permits are offered but
are allocated on a first-come-
first-served basis and only 180
permits are distributed per year.
The two storage permit lots, one
on North Campus near Baits I
Residence Hall and one on South
Campus on State Street, accept
the same permit but if one lot is
full, a student must park at the
other. LTP suggests commuters
utilize alternative transportation
methods such as bicycles, the Park
and Ride program Alston utilizes
and more for students who may not
be able to secure a parking permit.
Broekhuizen
offered
LTP’s
resources but could not comment
on further parking resources for
commuter students at the time of
publishing.
When it comes to what actions
the University could take to better
accommodate commuter students,
Chaudry agreed with Alston that
more accessible parking lots for
newer students or cheaper parking
passes would allow for greater
ability to take advantage of the
benefits of being a commuter
student.
“I think more parking spaces,
or at least more permits available
to purchase (would be beneficial),
because it’s kind of difficult to go
and navigate finding someone
who lives in an apartment and has
a spot available, and if you do it’s
usually like 15 minutes away from
wherever the normal classes are so
it makes it kind of inconvenient,”
Chaudry said. “For some people,
it’s even further.”
LSA sophomore Yara El-Tawil,
who makes the commute from
her family’s home in Ann Arbor,
expressed similar sentiments in the
hope that finding more convenient
parking might take away certain
worries about commuting.
El-Tawil currently rents a
parking spot a few blocks from
campus, and while she explained
the price for this is significantly
lower than what she would pay
for on-campus living, commuting
for students who aren’t familiar
with
the
Ann
Arbor
area
could be made much easier
with more accessible parking
and
information
on
public
transportation opportunities.
“The biggest thing I would
say that I wish the University did
do is make it easier for people to
commute,” El-Tawil said. “I know
for some commuters it’s hard to
figure out the public transportation
system, and I have an advantage
because I’ve lived in Ann Arbor
for 14 years so I know it, but a lot
of people don’t and I wish that (the
University) did (emphasize it), or
if they do do it they’re not doing a
good job of emphasizing it.”
In terms of the community
of commuter students, El-Tawil
explained current dialogue about
commuting, that it might be
difficult to do or it might place a
strain on student social life, should
be changed. She expressed her
hope the University provides more
information
about
commuting
to students interested in saving
money or commuting for other
reasons that making the commute
from home is not as difficult as
some might think.
“It’s mainly not a commuter
campus, which is hard,” El-Tawil
said.
combined
federal
charges
for
possession of child pornography
for sexual abuse, his consecutive
sentences imprison him for an
additional 40 to 175 years on top
of his 60-year federal sentence.
Povilaitis also explained these 10
cases were specifically selected in
an effort to include survivors from
outside of Michigan.
For those survivors outside of
the 10 pressing charges, Judge
Rosemarie Aquilina allowed for an
unprecedented amount of victim
impact statements. Many judges,
including Aquilina herself, have
previously limited the duration,
content or number of victim
impact statements allowed, which
contributed to the culture of
silencing survivors. For Nassar’s
sentencing,
however,
Aquilina
allowed for any survivor to speak,
and even applauded them for doing
so — creating a controversy on its
own.
“It was very refreshing to see
a judge who acknowledged their
pain and suffering, listened with a
kind ear, and I think it was really
effective in their healing process,”
Povilaitis said.
The
momentum
of
the
testimonies that originally made
national headlines, however, is now
up against institutional barriers.
The Michigan Association of State
Universities — a coalition including
the University — succeeded in
scaling back legislation in the state
legislature increasing resources for
survivors. The association claimed
the package of bills would have
a “profound impact” on schools.
Interim
MSU
president
John
Engler angered many surivors on
Thursday with comments accusing
the state bills of interfering in
mediation
between
MSU
and
parties suing the university. In his
testimony before the state Senate
higher education subcommittee,
Engler also noted MSU’s legal fees
would be sourced from taxpayers
and students.
