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 
of 
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

While you were away, you may 

have missed some big stories out 
of Ann Arbor. This week The Daily 
will be publishing recaps of the 
summer’s breaking news.

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 
of 
Michigan 
or

to be permitted or allowed 

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 
Career 

Center events and efforts to 
improve safety features in 

academic 
buildings 
around 

campus.

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 

collaboration 
efforts 
long 

term,” Greene said.

Additionally, 
CSG 
Vice 

President 
Izzy 
Baer, 
an 

University 
of 
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
