still a lot of questions to be 
answered in the short term. 
Across 
campus, 
there 
are 
faculty 
members 
working 
on safer helmet technology, 
improving diagnostic tools, 
injury 
management 
and 
interventions. 
Broglio 
also 
thinks by the time the 30 
years are over, people will 

generally have an idea of how 
concussions 
affect 
people 
down the line.
“It’s not going to be radio 
silence for 30 years and then 
one paper done,” Broglio said. 
“Things will come out along 
the way. To be quite honest, 
by the time we get to year 30 
we’ll probably pretty much 
know at that point.”
The research Broglio and 
other 
University 
faculty 
members have been working 

on has already started to 
affect policy at the college 
football level. Broglio hopes 
that his research will continue 
to benefit sports.
“Some of the stuff we’ve 
done has already influenced 
preseason practice rules in 
college football,” Broglio said. 
“I just think that will continue 
to grow, and that’s our goal. If 
we can’t influence sport in a 
positive way, then what’s the 
point?”

evening: first, an afternoon 
panel facilitated by students of 
the Ford School of Public Policy 
to speak, and a larger event 
in the evening organized by 
Washtenaw Youth Initiative at 
the Neutral Zone in downtown 
Ann Arbor.
The University of Michigan 
awards the meda annually to 
individuals who have shown 
great bravery in the sphere 
of 
social 
justice. 
Student 
representatives 
from 
both 
groups 
were 
the 
youngest 
honorees in the award’s 28-year 
history.
B.R.A.V. 
E. 
violence 
prevention coordinator Lamar 
Johnson 
represented 
the 
Chicago-based youth advocacy 
training program at the events, 
and was joined by Alex Wind 
and 
Sofie 
Whitney 
from 
Marjory 
Stoneman 
Douglas 
High School in Parkland, Fla., 
both survivors of the fatal 
shooting at their school last Feb. 
14. March for Our Lives was 
born out of activism of students 
following the mass shooting, 
while B.R.A.V.E. was founded in 
2009 by grassroots movements 
in Chicago united against local 
violence. The two organizations 
formed a coalition following the 
Parkland shooting in an attempt 
to 
take 
an 
intersectional 
approach 
to 
activism, 
and 
further 
highlighting 
the 
quotidian nature of of gun 
violence.
The three began the Ford 
event by lighting a candle in 
remembrance of the lives lost 
to gun violence. Then, they 
entered into a conversation 
about student activism: what 
it is, what it requires, why it’s 
important and how it looked 
when they did it.
“We like to create rooms 
that should have never existed 
and would have never existed 
before,” Whitney remarked.
All 
of 
the 
panelists 
emphasized the need to engage 
the whole of society in gun 
violence prevention in order 
to see salient change. Wind 
advised 
student 
activists 
to 
involve 
their 
friends, 
contact 
their 
congressional 
representatives and “keep the 
conversation going.”

“We need to be the people 
who keep talking about it,” 
Wind said. “We need the 
people who are remembering 
the victims. We need to be the 
people that are really trying to 
fix the things that are wrong in 
this country.”
Wind 
and 
the 
others 
expressed frustration at the 
fact that coverage for instances 
of gun violence too often seems 
to be temporary or altogether 
nonexistent.
Endless work on such a heavy 
issue makes it difficult to keep 
a cheery disposition. Whitney 
recommended “finding those 
moments of light” by forging 
strong relationships with others 
in the field as a mechanism.
“I can’t get the best out of 
you if I don’t care about you,” 
Johnson added. Coming from 
the perspective of an adult and 
mentor, he emphasized the need 
to care “holistically” about your 
cohort.
Wind, too, said that the 
work 
itself 
contributes 
to 
the betterment of his own 
emotional state.
“This work is very healing 
for me because what I do is to 
try and ensure that no one else 
my age or even younger has to 
go through this trauma,” Wind 
said.
Wind, Whitney and Johnson 
implored attendees of the event 
to continue the momentum of 
activism present in the world 
today. 
Citing 
high 
turnout 
rates in youth voters in midterm 
elections last week, they predict 
that gun violence prevention 
will be something young people 
continue to push.
“Do two things: stay loud and 
stay impatient,” Johnson said. 
“We cannot afford to wait for 
things to change.”
Public 
Policy 
graduate 
student Leah Squires, one of 
the event’s facilitators, said 
she appreciated hearing the 
different perspectives of the 
panelists.
“What I derived the greatest 
benefit from was hearing the 
varied 
perspectives 
of 
the 
speakers,” Squires said. “They 
represent and approach anti-
gun violence activism from 
very different perspectives and 
concepts but are motivated by a 
shared vision.”
Just hours later, the panelists 
shifted down a few blocks 
to the Neutral Zone, a youth 

community organizing space in 
downtown Ann Arbor. There, 
they met with students from 
Washtenaw 
Youth 
Initiative 
who began organizing against 
gun violence in Ann Arbor, 
Ypsilanti and Saline in March, 
inspired by March for Our 
Lives. WYI held rallies, a die-
in and a town hall in the spring, 
lobbied to get out the vote in the 
midterms and is now planning 
programming to activate local 
youth.
At Thursday’s event, students 
from more than six local high 
schools shared strategy with 
the visiting activists, and then 
faciliated a dialogue and Q&A 
afterwards attended by more 
than 150 people.
“We’re trying to force kids 
from the corners of the county 
to the center stage, to give them 
a platform,” Rosie Kendall, a 
student at Saline High School, 
said of WYI’s community work.
Every organizer agreed on 
the importance of electoral 
activism, even though many of 
them were too young ot vote 
themselves. They also noted, 
however, their work extended 
beyond any campaign or ballot.
“Now, it’s time to hold the 
people we elected accountable,” 
Whitney said.
Many of the local high 
schoolers 
emphasized 
the 
intersectionality at the center 
of WYI. 
 “We have to acknowledge 
our predecessors who have 
been struggling for decades,” 
Zaynab Alkolaly, a student at 
Washtenaw Technical Middle 
College, shared. “This is not 
to erase peope, and you all do 
a great job of checking your 
privilege. But we have to lift all 
of us up.”
WYI 
organizer 
Mani 
Harrison agreed with Alkolaly, 
and is crafting a series of events 
to combat activism rife with 
racial myopia.
 “In Ann Arbor, we aren’t 
centering Black and (people of 
color) voices enough,” she said.
The 
young 
activists 
connected over their shared 
vision nad hope for the future. 
It is this foresight, they agreed, 
that is also a driving force in 
organizing movements.
“You kinda gotta have infinite 
hope, what Dr. King talked 
about,” Johnson said. “Be a 
prisoner of hope.”

Department.
As 
officers 
searched 
for 
Masrur, he jumped from a 
second-story 
window 
and 
took off on foot, according to 
authorities.
About 15 minutes later after 
the 
initial 
call, 
authorities 
received 
another 
call 
for 
a 
woman 
who 
needed 
an 
ambulance. This call turned 
out to be for Huq. The officer 
arrived at the scene to family 
members performing CPR on 
Huq.
Masrur was found about an 
hour later by officers hiding out 
in an area between a residential 
area and a golf course. He was 

arraigned on Wednesday at the 
52-4 District Court in Oakland 
County, and is being held 
without bail. If convicted with 
the charges as they stand, he 
faces life in prison.
Sergeant Meghan Lehman, 
public information officer for 
the Troy Police Department, 
said the incident appears to be 
a brutal, unprovoked attack.
In a Facebook post shared 
by Rubab Huq’s eldest son, 
Farhan Huq, an alum of the 
University 
medical 
school, 
Rubab is described as a loving 
mother and physician, who was 
herself mourning the loss of her 
husband to lung cancer. In the 
post, Farhan said his mother 
was an inspiration.
“She finished her family 
medicine 
residency, 
she 

provided a loving home for 
us, filled with wisdom and 
love and support that knew no 
bounds,” Farhan wrote. “She 
was a phenomenal physician 
by day and a phenomenal mom 
by night. She was a real-life 
wonder woman who somehow, 
magically, could really do it 
all.”
“Her last words to me were, 
‘Baba (my son), onik jothno 
korey tomake ar tomar bhai kea 
manush korechi,’” he continued. 
“ (Or) ‘I worked really hard to 
raise you and your brother.’ 
She was so inspirational that 
it drew me closer to God. She 
passed away as she lived - in the 
service of others.” 
Huq ended the post by asking 
for prayers for his mother. 

MURDER
From Page 1A

Last summer, many speculated 
Bernstein 
might 
runfor 
the 
governor’s seat himself, though 
he squashed these rumors by the 
time Whitmer’s campaign began 
to pick up steam.
Bernstein told The Michigan 
Daily he could not comment on 
his new role, instead referring 
The Daily to Michelle Grinnell, 
the communications director for 
the Whitmer transition team. In 
an interview, Grinnell pointed to 
Bernstein’s experience as a regent 
and education advocate as reasons 
for the choice.
“In addition to the shared 
values he has with Governor-
elect Whitmer, as director of the 
Transition 
Office, 
(Bernstein) 
brings a wealth of experience 
in addressing complex issues in 
a thoughtful, pragmatic way,” 
Grinnell said in an email. “This 
will be critical to accomplishing 
the significant work … in a very 
short amount of time.”
Bernstein’s 
record 
as 
an 
effective 
pragmatist 
is 
corroborated by his colleague on 
the board, Regent Ron Weiser (R). 
Weiser has worked with Bernstein 
since he was elected to the board 
and knew him for years before 
then. Weiser, for his part, served 
on the finance team for Presisdent 
Donald 
Trump’s 
national 
campaignand 
inauguration 
committee.

“He’s very bright,” Weiser, the 
lone Republican on the Board of 
Regents, said. “He’s very articulate 
— very well spoken, and a very 
good advocate. He has a strong 
political center and I think that he 
will help them organize well and 
focus on things that are important 
for the future of the state. I think 
he does that at the (University).”
Public Policy junior Katie Kelly, 
the 
communications 
director 
of University chapter of College 
Democrats, expressed a similar 
confidence in Bernstein and a 
hope that he and Whitmer will 
continue their focus on education 
during the transition.
“(College Democrats) have a lot 
of respect for Regent Bernstein,” 
Kelly said. “We hope by having 
somebody tied so closely to the 
University that the administration 
will 
have 
more 
affordable 
University cost at the forefront of 
their policy formulation.”
College 
Democrats 
worked 
extensively 
for 
the 
Whitmer 
campaign and hosted a rally on 
campus on Oct. 19 with Whitmer 
and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., 
speaking at the event. Kelly, who 
is among those who worked to 
elect Whitmer, emphasized the 
importance of an advocate for 
education 
such 
as 
Bernstein 
shaping administration policy.
“Just having someone who has 
the voices of students in mind 
having a direct connection to the 
administration — as students, 
that’s an invaluable connection 

to have,” Kelly said. “One of the 
reasons we supported Gretchen 
Whitmer is that she supports 
students 
and 
has 
mentioned 
many times that affordable prices 
of colleges is one of her main 
priorities. So having someone 
like Regent Bernstein in her 
administration, we hope that they 
will keep students in mind while 
formulating policy.”
According 
to 
Grinnell, 
Bernstein has no plans for a 
permanent role in the Whitmer 
administration. His influence will 
nonetheless be felt as he helps craft 
the organizational structures that 
will shape the administration’s 
early days.
Whitmer and Bernstein also 
face the challenge of preparing 
to govern a state with centrist 
political 
tendencies. 
Though 
most statewide elected offices 
will be controlled by Democrats 
starting next year, Republicans 
hold majorities in both bodies 
of the state legislature, and the 
state’s delegation to the House 
of Representatives is split evenly 
between the two parties. Weiser, 
expressing further confidence in 
Bernstein’s abilities, said that his 
skills are well-suited to the divided 
government that Whitmer will 
face when she enters the office.
“I think he’ll do a fantastic job,” 
Weiser said. “He knows how to 
work with people, and he knows 
how to work across the aisle. And 
that’s going to be necessary for this 
new administration.”

said. 
“What 
would 
happen 
if you got sick or got in a car 
accident and you needed money 
quick? We need to have some 
short-term savings. It is not 
always for bad stuff, it could be 
for vacations or gifts. However, 
everyone in this room, having 
a focus on longer-term savings 
in your 20s once you finish here 
will make a huge difference.”
The conversation moved to 
the importance of utilizing 
a 
budget. 
Munzenberger 
encouraged students to think of 
a budget like a tool.
“I really would prefer you 
to think of (a budget) like a 
tool, like a laptop or a Fitbit,” 
Munzenberger said. “That’s all 
a budget is, a financial tool to 
keep things organized.”
Munzenberger 
then 

discussed how credit cards 
involve 
borrowing 
money, 
and how he has worked with 
many students who get in over 
their 
heads. 
Munzenberger 
recommended 
all 
students 
check their credit report every 
year to make sure it is accurate 
and in a good place and to avoid 
identity theft.
Lewis 
offered 
help 
from 
Student Legal Sevrices to any 
University student who finds 
a problem on their credit card, 
saying the office can dispute 
the issue.
“If you do find an error on 
your credit card, come to the 
office and we’ll challenge it,” 
Lewis said.
Munzenberger added that 
a low credit score can impact 
one’s insurance rates, loan 
applications, 
employment 
odds and experience renting 
apartments. He recommended 
students keep track of why, 

where and how much they 
spend.
“Be careful of this — I 
told you houses and cars are 
expensive, sometimes it is little 
stuff, lunches, Starbucks, just 
tons and tons of this little stuff 
that adds up,” Munzenberger 
said.
Munzenberger 
ended 
the 
presentation 
by 
advising 
students to use cash if they are 
spending under $10 because 
they will end up spending less.
LSA 
sophomore 
Hershy 
Jalluri said she learned how 
much each individual payment 
can affect her credit score.
“I think the impact that 
small things that you do, day to 
day interactions, can have on 
your credit score,” Jalluri said. 
“Since we’re college students, 
it seems like one payment isn’t 
going to be a big deal, but it can 
make a huge impact.”

SAVINGS
From Page 1A

nine-year streak is tied only 
with the period ranging from 
the spring quarter in 1991 to 
spring 2000.
According to the report, job 
growth in the state is expected 
to continue to increase over the 
next two years, adding 35,800 
jobs in 2019 and 39,300 more 
in 2020. By the end of 2020, 
Michigan is expected to recoup 
four of every five jobs lost since 
the mid-2000s.
From 2010 to 2017, Michigan 
saw a 29 percent rise in the 
number of college-educated 25 
to 34-year-olds moving to the 
state. International migration 
also 
contributed 
to 
this 
population growth, expected to 
make up 55 percent of the state 
population by 2025.
In a press release, Ehrlich 
said international migration 
has 
a 
growing 
impact 
on 
the 
state’s 
population 
and 
will 
continue 
to 
increase. 
A 
rise 
in 
college-educated 

residents could also accelerate 
popualation growth. According 
to the report, the state’s share 
of college-educated 25-to-34-
year-olds rose by 29 percent 
from 2010 to 2017. 13 of the 
16 largest cities in the state 
also surpassed the national 
average growth rate in young 
adults with at least a bachelor’s 
degree.
“International migration is 
an especially important driver 
of 
Michigan’s 
population 
growth because without it, the 
state’s population aged 4 or 
younger is projected to shrink 
by 200,000 residents by 2025,” 
Ehrlich said.
Within 
the 
automotive 
sector, U.S. light vehicle sales 
are expected to decline in 
the next two years — Ford 
Motor Co., General Motors 
Corp. and Chrysler’s share of 
sales has decreased since last 
year, according to the report. 
Leading sectors included in 
the report for this year are 
construction, professional and 
business services and health 
services. Low unemployment 

rates have also contributed 
to 
Michigan’s 
recovering 
economy. The unemployment 
rate for the state this year 
averaged 4.4 percent and is 
projected to fall to 3.8 percent 
by 2020.
Zooming 
out 
to 
the 
national economic landscape, 
forecasters predict the benefits 
of President Donald Trump’s 
tax cuts will wear off in 2020, 
even as wage growth remains 
healthy. 
“Wage 
growth—the 
one 
thing that had been missing 
from 
the 
full-employment 
labor 
market 
picture 
— 
finally appears to be picking 
up,” 
the 
report’s 
executive 
summary reads. “The October 
reading 
of 
average 
hourly 
earnings of workers in private 
nonfarm employment clocked 
in at a well-received 3.1 percent 
year-over-year rate, the first 
time since May 2009 that this 
measure of wage growth has 
exceeded 3 percent.”
