“For some of them, it 
is their first time ever 
reading 
their 
work 
in 
front of an audience other 
than their classroom, and 
so we really like being 
able to give them that 
experience,” Peters said. 
“For the listeners, they’re 
just 
hearing 
so 
many 
interesting stories about 
the 
student 
experience 
because a lot of students 
are writing about their 
own life experiences or 
people they know.”
The 
event 
features 
students studying a wide 
variety 
of 
disciplines 
ranging 
from 
English 
and creative writing to 
psychology, public policy 
and computer science.
English lecturer John 
Buckley said he nominates 

his students to give them a 
chance to share their work 
in public.
“For the last couple of 
years, I’ve been privileged 
to 
teach 
through 
the 
Undergraduate 
Research 
Opportunity 
Program 
which enables me to pick 
three 
or 
four 
students 
to really do an intensive 
weekly 
workshop 
with 
and help them try to get 
published,” Buckley said. 
“Part of that always ends 
up being nominating them 
for Café Shapiro to give 
them publishing credit and 
give them a chance to read 
in public.”
Buckley 
said 
Café 
Shapiro really boosts his 
students’ 
confidence 
in 
their own abilities, and it is 
especially memorable and 
important for those who 
have never participated in 
an event like it before. 
“I think my students 
gain confidence,” Buckley 

said. “I think confidence 
is the big thing. Just like 
most things, the first time 
is the hardest. The first 
time is the scariest, so if 
we can get over this initial 
hump, that’s a big step.”
LSA 
junior 
Mahmuda 
Ahmed 
is 
an 
aspiring 
author 
and 
a 
student 
of 
Buckley. 
She 
was 
very 
flattered 
Buckley 
nominated her to share her 
work and said it would be 
her first time participating 
in a read in front of 
strangers.
“It was really cool (to 
be 
nominated) 
because 
I’ve never done anything 
like this before and my 
professor is really cool,” 
Ahmed said. “We’re in a 
creative 
writing 
group 
kind of thing so we work on 
our stories together, and 
this was one of the one’s 
they helped me edit and so 
this is the final product of 
it.”

In addition to providing 
a space for undergraduates 
to read their pieces, Café 
Shapiro 
publishes 
an 
anthology of all the work. 
Ahmed said she has never 
been 
published 
before 
and is excited about the 
opportunity. 
She 
added 
she 
appreciates 
how 
in addition to being an 
opportunity to share her 
own work, the event gives 
her a chance to listen to her 
peers and learn more about 
the campus community.
“I 
think 
I’ll 
gain 
experience,” Ahmed said. 
“Also, it will be published 
in the anthology too, right, 
so that’s also pretty cool. 
I’ve never had anything 
published before. And it’s 
just a really cool event, too 
— we get to hear readers 
and their stories, too.”

U.S. 
Rep. 
Debbie 
Dingell, 
D-Mich., John’s wife of 38 
years 
and 
congressional 
successor, wrote a Facebook 
post 
Friday 
evening 
recounting 
her 
husband’s 
final hours.
“He was lucid, visiting 
with 
friends, 
in 
charge 
until the end,” she wrote. 
“And trust me he knew 
exactly what he wanted, 
when he wanted it and we 
did it his way… Tuesday 
he had asked for a pad of 
paper he had things he 
wanted to say. Writing had 
become hard. Wednesday he 
started dictating to me, had 
thoughts he wanted shared 
when his time came.”

These 
words 
made 
up 
John Dingell’s last op-ed, 
published in The Washington 
Post Friday morning with 
the 
preface 
that 
“some 
occasions merit more than 
280 
characters.” 
Dingell 
espoused 
congressional 
action and policy on climate 
change, 
health 
care 
and 
racial 
discrimination, 
among other topics. Over 
the course of his career, 
Dingell helped pass or cast 
critical votes on the Civil 
Rights Act, Medicare, the 
Clean Water and Clean Air 
acts and the Endangered 
Species Act.
“My personal and political 
character was formed in a 
different era that was kinder, 
if not necessarily gentler,” 
he 
wrote. 
“We 
observed 
modicums of respect even 
as we fought, often bitterly 

and savagely, over issues 
that were literally life and 
death to a degree that — 
fortunately – we see much 
less of today.”

The 
late 
congressman’s 
last public appearance on 
campus was last February 
alongside 
Debbie, 
where 

the pair answered questions 
from students in front of 
more than 100 at the Ford 
School 
of 
Public 
Policy. 
The Dingells are longtime 

supporters of the campus 
community, and University 
of 
Michigan 
President 
Mark Schlissel offered his 

condolences to the family in 
a statement Thursday.
“I 
considered 
John 
a 
historically 
significant 
public servant and man of 
great gravitas,” he wrote.
Dingell 
was 
also 
a 
longtime 
feature 
in 
the 
pages 
of 
The 
Michigan 
Daily, as journalists over 
the course of four decades 
interviewed and profiled the 
congressman. 
“RIP 
@JohnDingell,” 
Stephanie Steinberg, former 
editor in chief of The Daily, 
tweeted 
Thursday. 
“Thx 
for sending paczki to the @
michigandaily when I was 
EIC & always supporting 
student 
journalists. 
You 
were 1 of a kind.”
“I 
interviewed 
him 
a 
handful of times in college, 
and he was always generous 
with 
his 
time,” 
Joseph 

Lichterman, 
a 
former 
Daily arts writer, added on 
Twitter Thursday. “He also 
made fun of me on Twitter 
once, which is probably the 
best thing that happened to 
me on here.” 
Fifteen years ago, just 
hours before winning his 
26th 
term 
in 
Congress 
back in 2004, Dingell told 
Daily 
reporter 
Margaret 
Havemann he would govern 
until he couldn’t any more.
“If I can do it, I will,” 
he said. “There are a lot of 
people who have a say in 
what I do, the people and 
my wife being some of them. 
And if the good Lord says 
come up here with me, then 
I guess I will have to.”

“Markets don’t differ in 
kind from other institutions, 
it’s 
just 
that 
people 
in 
mainstream 
economics 
decided that they were going 
to focus on this mathematical 
aspect of markets and ignore 
the rest,” Busch said.
In the discussion of his 
third 
proposition, 
“The 
histories of economics and 
of economics fail to take 
standards 
into 
account,” 
Busch 
explained 
the 
history 
behind 
economic 
institutions. He emphasized 
the importance of learning 
market history to understand 
the 
functions 
of 
modern 
markets.
“The histories of markets 
and economics fail to take 
standards 
into 
account 
because 
each 
former 
standard creates a different 
form 
of 
market,” 
Busch 
said. “The trend is towards 
greater concentration and a 
greater ability to manipulate 
thoughts.”
The 
fourth 
proposition 
was 
“Supply 
chains 
and 
financialization 
create 
inequalities.” 
Busch 
said 
there has been a massive 
increase in inequality in the 
United States within the last 
25 years.
“Banks used to invest in 
order 
to 
produce 
things, 
and 
now 
they 
invest 
in 
order to maximize return 
in investment,” Busch said. 
“They’re fickle with respect 
to firms but they are loyal 
with respect to capital.”
In 
Busch’s 
final 
proposition, “Economics lies 
behind changes in actual 
markets,” he explained the 
market 
standardization 
that 
makes 
economics 
predictable.
“At the same time that 

economics is performative, 
it is performative in two 
ways,” Busch said. “It is 
performative in the sense 
that it provides a model 
for performing firms and 
markets, 
and 
it’s 
also 
performative in the sense 
that it provides a model of 
public 
understanding 
of 
markets.”
John Carson, STS faculty 
member 
and 
associate 
history professor, explained 
the complex nature of the 
markets Busch described to 
The Daily after the event.
“Markets 
are 
not 
the 
simple, 
easy 
methods 
of 
allocation 
that 
they’re 
sometimes thought to be, 
but that they are complex 
social institutions that need 
to be seen in all the different 
functions 
that 
they 
do,” 
Carson said. “They need to be 
thought about as to how we 
can use them in ways that are 
good and what really are all 
the elements that are a part 
of them, not just the ways 
that prices are allocated.”
Rackham 
student 
Elana 
Maloul 
currently 
teaches 
an 
English 
124 
course 
on 
global 
capitalization. 
She 
said 
her 
greatest 
takeaway 
from 
Busch’s 
presentation was receiving 
a 
new 
understanding 
of 
the traditional supply and 
demand model.
“Abstract 
models 
shape 
market practice and shape 
public 
perceptions 
of 
markets,” 
Maloul 
said. 
“Probably 
the 
largest 
takeaway that I got was that 
the models that my students 
express in class when we 
talk about market systems 
— because we talk about 
market systems a lot — are 
still those very old models 
that have zero consciousness 
of contemporary models, the 
ones that he described.”

“With Trump, we see 
a return of these large-
scale work raids,” Lopez 
said. 
“In 
my 
opinion, 
very purposefully visible 
f lexing of muscle.”
The 
University 
of 
Michigan 
has 
also 
reacted 
to 
recent 
immigration 
policy 
changes. 
In 
response 
to 
travel 
restrictions 
imposed by the Trump 
administration, 
University 
President 
Mark Schlissel announced 
in 2017 the University 
would not disclose the 
immigration status of its 
students.
The 
University 
welcomes 
applications 
regardless of immigration 
status, 
according 
to 
a 
U-M 
website 
for 
undocumented 
students 
created 
by 
Student 
Community of Progressive 
Empowerment 
and 
the 
Office 
of 
Academic 
Multicultural Initiatives.
Noting 
none 
of 
WICIR’s anti-deportation 
campaigns 
have 
been 
successful since Trump’s 
election, 
Lopez 
said 
ICE appears to be less 
concerned 
with 
its 
image than in previous 
administrations.
“ICE’s 
public 
face 
used 
to 
be 
something 
that would cause them 
to change what they are 
doing. It’s no longer the 
case, generally speaking, 
anymore,” 
Lopez 
said. 
“They’re not ashamed of 
their violent immigration 
enforcement tactics.”
Because 
Washtenaw 
County 
is 
not 
located 
on a U.S. border, Lopez 

said 
most 
immigration 
enforcement occurs when 
an undocumented person 
gets a traffic ticket or 
an arrest. He said this 
makes 
undocumented 
immigrants less trusting 
of 
public 
services, 
especially 
since 
the 
Trump 
administration 
proposed 
a 
“public 
charge” rule in October 
2018. 
The 
law 
would 
deny 
legal 
status 
to 
undocumented 
people 
who use certain public 
benefits.
“There’s this ambient 
fear 
of 
the 
unknown 
and of the potentially 
catastrophic that shakes 
folks’ 
willingness 
to 
use 
medical 
care 
and 
social 
services 
and 
interact with government 
officers,” 
Lopez 
said. 
“I’m not in the business of 
encouraging folks to trust 
law enforcement if their 
judgement tells them that 
they shouldn’t.”
Jason Forsberg, deputy 
chief of the Ann Arbor 
Police Department, said 
Chapter 120 of the city 
code, 
which 
prohibits 
public 
servants 
from 
asking about immigration 
status except in cases 
such 
as 
a 
criminal 
investigation, warrant or 
federal order, is meant to 
encourage undocumented 
people 
to 
trust 
law 
enforcement.
“The 
spirit 
behind 
that ordinance is that 
we don’t want people to 
be afraid to call us when 
they need help, and so 
that’s why when people 
are witnesses or victims 
of 
crimes, 
we 
would 
never ask for immigrant 
status,” Forsberg said.
Forsberg 
added 
most 
of the county follows a 

similar policy. The Board 
of 
Commissioners 
of 
Washtenaw County has 
publishedwritten support 
for 
local 
immigrant 
communities.
“Most, if not all, of the 
agencies in Washtenaw 
County, law enforcement 
agencies, 
have 
gotten 
together and we’re all 
sort of in agreement on 
how we would handle 
these types of things,” 
Forsberg said.
The 
U-M 
Division 
of 
Public 
Safety 
and 
Security follows a similar 
policy by only inquiring 
about immigration status 
in the case of a security 
threat, warrant or felony. 
According 
to 
DPSS 
Deputy 
Chief 
Melissa 
Overton, 
however, 
the 
University rarely has to 
communicate with ICE.
“We rarely have to talk 
to them,” Overton said. 
“We have had things in 
the past, but I can’t tell 
you how long ago it’s 
been. It’s mainly when 
somebody’s been arrested 
under 
another 
warrant 
and it comes up that 
they’re not here legally.”
LSA 
sophomore 
Sandra Perez is league 
representative 
for 
the 
Student 
Community 
of 
Progressive 
Empowerment, 
an 
organization 
that 
supports 
for 
undocumented 
and 
DACA-supported 
students. 
Perez 
said 
she and her peers are 
still pushing for change 
at 
U-M. 
For 
instance, 
SCOPE will attend the 
next 
meeting 
of 
the 
University’s 
Board 
of 
Regents to discuss the 
University’s 
28-month 
policy, 
which 
states 

undocumented 
students 
only qualify as in-state 
students if they attended 
Michigan 
high 
schools 
and middle schools and 
matriculated 
to 
the 
University 
within 
28 
months 
of 
graduating 
high school.
Perez said the 28-month 
rule is unfairly stringent 
toward 
undocumented 
students, 
especially 
because 
undocumented 
students can’t apply for 
federal 
financial 
aid, 
making the cost of out-of-
state tuition particularly 
challenging. 
SCOPE 
is 
working 
to 
eliminate 
the policy or change its 
interpretation.
“It is a discriminatory 
policy for undocumented 
students, 
specifically 
because a way to prove 
in-state 
residency 
is 
providing 
(proof ) 
from 
middle 
or 
high 
school,” Perez said. “An 
undocumented 
student 
can 
provide 
all 
that 
information 
and 
more, 
and yet still be denied just 
because of the 28-month 
rule.”
Though there are no 
figures on the number of 
undocumented 
students 
on 
the 
University’s 
campus, Perez, who is 
under 
the 
protection 
of 
DACA 
herself, 
said 
SCOPE works with many 
undocumented students, 
helping 
them 
build 
leadership skills and find 
a community on campus.
“This 
is 
a 
very 
marginalized identity in 
a large university,” Perez 
said.

Marsh 
then 
updated 
the 
committee on the discussion 
he and Senate Secretary David 
Potter had with the Vice Provost 
for Academic and Budgetary 
Affairs Christine Gerdes regarding 
the committee’s concern and 
suggested revisions about the 
newFaculty-Student Relationships 
Standard Practice Guide.
“Those 
concerns 
were 
transmitted 
to 
the 
Provost’s 
Office,” Marsh said. “David and I 
also had a meeting with Christine 
Gerdes about some of the revisions. 
In general, most of those revisions 
are positively received.”
SACUA 
then 
welcomed 
University 
Provost 
Martin 
Philbert, 
who 
informed 
the 
committee 
about 
the 
new 
Biosciences 
Initiative, 
which 
aims to create better access to 
on-campus 
core 
researching 
facilities for students and faculties.

“This idea would be for all 
sorts of cores, instrumentation, 
capability and all sorts of expertise 
that’s 
distributed 
across 
the 
campus,” Philbert said. “Some of it 
rare, some of it relatively abundant, 
but not worth any individual 
investigator 
investigating. 
The 
intention is to make them more 
readily navigable and available.”
The committee then discussed 
the most recent SPG changes 
regarding felony charge reporting 
and faculty-student relationships. 
The committee expressed concern 
regarding their lack of involvement 
in the process of the creation and 
passing of these changes to the 
provost.
Committee 
members 
said 
they feel disappointed not having 
involvement or a voice every time 
a specially appointed committee 
is 
formed 
without 
their 
knowledge.
