Over the summer, Ann Arbor
City Council voted to change
zoning codes related to Greek
life houses in Ann Arbor.
The zoning codes, approved
during the July 16 council
session, would require new
fraternities and sororities to
maintain affiliation with the
University

Michigan
or
another collegiate institution
to be permitted or allowed
expansion within the city. If
the fraternity or sorority loses
its
University
affiliation
in
the future, it can apply for a
two-year special exception to
prevent loss of its house.

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS OF EDITORIAL FREEDOM
Reggie‘s Story
How a local service dog
became an unofficial
campus mascot
» Page 4B statement
THE MICHIGAN DAILY | SEPTEMBER 5, 2018
The University of Michigan
has
appointed
four
new
deans in the 2018-19 school
year for LSA, the School of
Music, Theatre and Dance,
Rackham
Graduate
School
and the School of Public
Health. With the start of the
new school year, the deans
say they are prioritizing the
interdisciplinary aspects of
higher education to continue
establishing the University
as
a
nationally
ranked
institution.
Elizabeth R. Cole, the newly
appointed LSA interim dean,
has served as LSA’s associate
dean for social sciences the
last four years. Though she
believes former dean Andrew
Martin leaves big shoes to
fill, she says her experience
working under his supervision
will make this a smooth
transition.
“The biggest task that we’ll
have is to continue the regular
functions of the college and to
pursue the strong initiatives
that we’re already working
on,” she said.
Primary
among
these
initiatives
is
LSA’s Opportunity Hub. While
its permanent space is a part of
the extensive construction at
the
Michigan
Union,
the
hub can currently be found
on the second floor of the
LSA
building.
The
hub
will
continue
its
focus
on
connecting
students’
classroom
experience
with
real world experience via

The
University
of
Michigan’s Central Student
Government
convened
Tuesday night to introduce
resolutions during their first
meeting of the academic school
year.
Initiatives
discussed
included amendments to the
compiled code, funding for
various
University

Center events and efforts to
improve safety features in

buildings
around

CSG
President
Daniel
Greene, a Public Policy senior,
first summarized efforts made
over the summer to improve
campus and student life. There
are also changes being made
to the CSG executive board,
including the addition of two
new positions this semester.
These
positions,
executive
diversity officer and external
relations
officer,
will
be
implemented this semester,
then evaluated as to whether
or not these positions are
effective.
“If we find it productive and
to the benefit of the student
body, then we will propose an
amendment to the constitution
to ensure that CSG in the
long term can better commit
itself to DEI, inclusivity and
also
student
organization

term,” Greene said.
Additionally,
CSG
Vice
President
Izzy
Baer,
an
University

Michigan
have made strides in studying
the effects of child separation
and
the
psychological
impact it has on families
in
cases
of
incarceration,
military
deployment,
and
border
separation.
This
data has helped University
psychologists
implement
programs
such
as
Strong
Military Families, Zero to
Thrive and Parenting While
Incarcerated, which focus on
curbing the negative effects
that
may
have
occurred
