Lacking life
The possibility of improving the University in the field of life sciences could finally become a reality. Ever since taking office, University President Lee Bollinger has pushed for a life science center at the University.
Unequal aid
A recent article in The New York Times points to a national disparity in Medicaid availability. According to the Times, 34 percent of the 31 million Hispanic people living in the United States have no health insurance. And while the situation grows increasingly worse for Hispanic Americans, other ethnic groups are left similarly uncovered. According to the article, 22 percent of blacks and 12 percent of non-Hispanic whites lack health insurance as well.
'U' activist groups - the New Greek System
At the University, a great many traditions abound. We've got a history of activism. Back in the heyday, you couldn't walk across campus without tripping over a group of people protesting increases in tuition, the Vietnam War or something equally pivotal. Similarly, the University's Greek system has been a long-standing tradition in Ann Arbor. Some of the houses on this campus have been around for, well, probably just about forever.
