Dear subscribers,

Good evening,

Love was in the air this week with Friday’s Valentine’s Day. If looking at The Daily’s love notes made you tear up, don’t worry. It made us cry, too.

Welcome to the Feb. 16 edition of the Daily Digest, your source for this week’s top news stories delivered straight to your inbox. This week: sexual misconduct and harassment allegations within Sava’s, Dearborn and Flint campuses examine their health services and Residential College students struggle to keep up with the program’s requirements.


U-M Flint, Dearborn students push for University health services

While the University’s Ann Arbor campus offers free health services through UHS, students on the Flint and Dearborn campuses find it difficult to receive accessible, adequate healthcare.

Launched in 2018 by a coalition of faculty and students to equip the U-M Flint and U-M Dearborn campuses with more resources, the One University Campaign has set achieving on-campus medical facilities as one of the campaign’s seven goals.

Only half of the students who begin in the 'U' Residential College complete the program. Why?

According to Catherine Badgley, program director of the Residential College, only one of every two students who enter the RC graduate with a degree in the RC program.

Citing strenuous requirements, RC students have difficulties juggling the RC program curriculum alongside their other coursework.
