University of Michigan-Ann Arbor


Self Description

June 2002: "Founded in 1817, the U-M has been the national model for the large public university for more than a century. Today, the 53,000 students on the three U-M campuses (Ann Arbor, Dearborn and Flint) come from every state and 130 countries." http://www.umich.edu/~newsinfo/Profile/umprofil.html

Third-Party Descriptions

May 2011: "The University of Michigan, meanwhile, isn't waiting for Congress. In May its library announced a new project to identify orphan works in the HathiTrust collection, an investigation that will ultimately require hand-checking millions of volumes. The copyright sleuthing is important because it may be a step on the path to opening up broader access to HathiTrust's orphans."

November 2007: "Several unions have been organizing adjunct faculty in recent years. In Michigan, the American Federation of Teachers has successfully organized full-time, nontenure-track professors at Eastern Michigan University, as well as part-time and full-time adjuncts at the University of Michigan campuses in Ann Arbor, Dearborn and Flint."

May 29, 2011 Out of Fear, Colleges Lock Books and Images Away From Scholars

QUOTE: A common problem bedevils those different university collections. Wide online access is curtailed, in part because they contain "orphan works," whose copyright owners can't be found. And the institutions that hold the collections—a consortium of major research libraries and the University of California campuses at San Diego and Los Angeles—must deal with legal uncertainty in deciding how to share the works. A university that goes too far could end up facing a copyright-infringement lawsuit.

Jun 22, 2009 A Transplant That Is Raising Many Questions

QUOTE: Waiting times for a liver vary in different parts of the country, and people who can afford to travel are free to go to a city or state with the shortest wait and bide their time until they have reached the top of the list.... It is even conceivable that someone could go to the time and expense of registering for the waiting lists of several transplant centers around the country.

Oct 13, 2008 Gift to Center Headed by FDA Panel Chairman Raises Questions

QUOTE: A retired medical supply manufacturer who considers bisphenol A to be "perfectly safe" gave $5 million to the research center headed by the chairman of a Food and Drug Administration panel about to rule on the chemical's safety.

 Washington Post
May 18, 2008 Doctors Say ‘I’m Sorry’ Before ‘See You in Court’

QUOTE: For decades, malpractice lawyers and insurers have counseled doctors and hospitals to “deny and defend.” Many still warn clients that any admission of fault, or even expression of regret, is likely to invite litigation and imperil careers. But with providers choking on malpractice costs and consumers demanding action against medical errors, a handful of prominent academic medical centers, like Johns Hopkins and Stanford, are trying a disarming approach.

Nov 20, 2007 Decline of the Tenure Track Raises Concerns

QUOTE: Rutgers University agreed in a labor settlement in August to add 100 tenure or tenure-track positions. Across the country, faculty unions are organizing part-timers. And the American Federation of Teachers is pushing legislation in 11 states to mandate that 75 percent of classes be taught by tenured or tenure-track teachers.

Jun 20, 2007 Are B-Schools Hiding the Cheaters?: Want to know where business students are cheating? Many schools have honor codes, but it's not easy to find out when they're broken

QUOTE: With the controversy surrounding the cheating scandal at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business, a prospective business school student might be inclined to take a closer look at just how often cheating occurs at some top B-schools. But if you're of that mind, be prepared to encounter some roadblocks along the way.

Jun 07, 2007 Coke Faces New Charges in India, Including ‘Greenwashing’

QUOTE: The Coca-Cola company has been charged with illegally seizing lands communally owned by small farmers and indiscriminately dumping sludge and other industrial hazardous waste onto the surrounding community. This comes as the multinational beverage giant announced a new effort Tuesday to protect rivers on four continents. .... The charges are based on the results of a fact-finding mission led by [the San Francisco-based India Resource Center] to a Coca-Cola bottling plant in the region.

Mar 25, 2007 Is This the Answer to Drug Use?

QUOTE: But despite the steady increase in random testing, recent studies have raised doubts about whether it actually works. Several teachers’ unions and organizations and medical groups like the American Academy of Pediatrics oppose random tests, saying they undermine the trust between students and school officials without offering help to those most at risk. And some parents view them as a blatant invasion of privacy because they measure drug use, and in some cases, alcohol use, that took place days earlier. Some drug tests can measure drug use that took place months earlier.

 New York Times
Mar 01, 2007 Scammers Manipulate the Mob

QUOTE: Today we harness the masses for everything from choosing the next pop star on American Idol to perfecting open source software and assembling Wikipedia articles. But perhaps the most widespread and vital uses for group input online are in scoring systems. But as rating systems have become more popular — and, as Resnick shows, valuable — there has been what some would say is a predictable response: the emergence of scammers, spammers, and thieves bent on manipulating the mob. Call it crowdhacking.

Sep 06, 2006 Report Estimates the Costs of a Stock Options Scandal

QUOTE: “From a shareholder’s perspective, it’s not just the extra compensation the executives got, it’s not just the extra taxes they have to pay,” said H. Nejat Seyhun, “There may be additional payouts for class-action lawsuits as well as worrying about the quality of the top management.”

Sep 04, 2006 Many Entry-Level Workers Feel Pinch of Rough Market

QUOTE: young people in the nation’s work force face a choppy job market in which entry-level wages have often trailed inflation, making it hard for many to cope with high housing costs and rising college debt loads.

Sep 04, 2006 White House Fights Race-Based Admissions Policies

QUOTE: At issue are programs in Louisville and Seattle, which seek to ensure that the student bodies of public schools reflect the cities' ethnic composition. White parents have challenged the policies in court, arguing that their children were denied admission to their preferred schools because of race.

 Washington Post
Sep 01, 2006 Short End: Tall people earn more because they're smarter.

QUOTE: It is well-documented that short people earn less money than tall people do...Higher intelligence resolves the puzzle of higher pay for the tall but begs the question of why height and intelligence are related in the first place. It is possible that early childhood care, including prenatal care, can increase both height and cognitive ability. But maybe the Fates just have it in for short people.

Aug 28, 2006 Real Wages Fail to Match a Rise in Productivity

QUOTE: Ben S. Bernanke, the Federal Reserve chairman, did not specifically discuss wages, but he warned that the unequal distribution of the economy’s spoils could derail the trade liberalization of recent decades...Mr. Bernanke said policy makers must try “to ensure that the benefits of global economic integration are sufficiently widely shared.”

 New York Times
Jul 24, 2006 Emerging Med-Mal Strategy: 'I'm Sorry'

QUOTE: Doctors' apologies for medical mistakes may not be a cure-all for litigation, but explaining unforeseen outcomes and making early settlement offers have proven effective, say lawyers who have participated in the process in the last decade...However, the association is concerned that in some instances the statute of limitations clock could be ticking while such processes are under way, that there is no requirement that patients be told that they can bring their own attorney and that statutes that protect doctors' apologies could be expanded to protect incidents...

Jun 14, 2006 A Crackdown on 'Perfect' Timing: SEC to Clarify Rules on Lucrative -- and Potentially Abusive -- Backdating of Options

QUOTE: The Securities and Exchange Commission is to issue a statement, possibly as early as next month, clarifying the agency's view of when current law allows backdating of stock options -- picking a date when the stock was at a low point to be the date of the award, thereby immediately guaranteeing a profit.

 Washington Post
May 24, 2006 Kirsanow: Transparently Illegal: Racial preferences at colleges carry the weight of a freight car.

QUOTE: Furthermore, in most states illegals from preferred minority groups are eligible for preferences that improve profoundly their chances for admission to college. Illegal immigrants now can be used to improve campus “diversity”.

 National Review
May 04, 2006 Professors want their classes 'unwired'

QUOTE: A growing number of professors now want computers - not just the Internet - out of class... Supporters of computers in the classroom emphasize useful ways that computers can be used in class, such as a program that lets professors ask questions of students and receive responses electronically to see how well they understand a lecture.
