The
University
of
Michigan’s
student
body
president and vice president
released a statement Monday
denouncing the University’s
decision to grant tenure to
David
Daniels,
professor
in
the
School
of
Music,
Theatre & Dance, in light of
recent allegations of sexual
assault made against him by
multiple University students.
The statement also affirms
Central Student Government
support
for
survivors
on
campus.
“When
the
normal
institutional processes fail,
we, as leaders of CSG, have
a responsibility to hold the
University’s
administration
accountable,” the statement,
signed
by
CSG
President
Daniel
Greene
and
Vice
President Isabel Baer, reads.
Many
individuals
have
come forward with sexual
assault
allegations
against
Daniels, some cases dating
back as early as 2010. Most
recently,
Music,
Theatre
and Dance School graduate
student
Andrew
Lipian
filed
a
lawsuit
against
Daniels on Oct. 24 and cited
inaction pertaining to his
case.
Veterans,
their
families
and
supportive
attendees
gathered at Hill Auditorium
at the University of Michigan
Monday evening to listen to
five veterans share stories
about their time in active
duty and life after service.
The event, dubbed “Stories
of Service,” was organized
by Fisher House Foundation,
a
veteran
nonprofit,
and
was sponsored by Michigan
Medicine.
“Stories of Service” is a
night to honor those who
have served in the military
and to call attention to the
importance
of
supporting
veterans and their families.
The
ceremony
included
storytelling from the five
veterans and performances by
Concordia University’s choir
and wind ensemble.
Speakers at the ceremony
represented
multiple
generations,
including
96-year-old World War II
veteran Guy Stern, a Jewish
immigrant who fled Germany
to escape the Nazi regime.
Stern spoke about his time as
a member of a special military
intelligence unit in the U.S.
SnoHub, an app for on-demand
snow
removal
services,
is
arriving in Ann Arbor this
winter after a successful season
on the East Coast. The Uber-like
service connects homeowners
who need snow removed from
their driveways to contractors
with trucks, plows or even just
shovels willing to clear snow
during their free time.
SnoHub CEO James Albis,
a
Connecticut-native,
said
he came up with the idea
for
SnoHub
after
negative
experiences dealing with snow
removal, more particularly with
snow removal services. While
some homeowners shovel their
own snow, others choose to hire
a snow removal contractor who
likely has equipment like snow
blowers, winter service vehicles
or plows to clear snow from
driveways, roofs, sidewalks and
decks. But Albis found some
problems
with
the
system,
including a lack of reliability
and transparency and the need
to pay in cash or check.

Statewide candidates make final push in Ann Arbor on eve of general election
On the eve of the 2018 midterm
elections,
the
University
of
Michigan’s chapter of College
Democrats held a pre-election
rally to encourage students and
citizens to vote on Tuesday.
There were several featured
speakers, including current U.S.
Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich.,
who is up for reelection this
year.
Addressing
about
100
attendees at the event, Stabenow
emphasized
the
importance
of voting ethically, claiming
an increase in seats won by
Democrats could make this
happen.
“We are committed to a
country that reflects the right
values, and we reject what has
been spewing out of the White
House,” Stabenow said.
Stabenow echoed a sentiment
that
was
common
among
other speakers — Democrats
are looking for change in the
upcoming election. U.S. Rep.
Debbie Dingell, D-Ann Arbor,
Jocelyn Benson, candidate for
Michigan Secretary of State, and
Sam
Bagenstos,
candidate
for justice on the Michigan
Supreme Court, all spoke of
the opportunity this election
