For the second time in two days, University of Michigan Department of Public Safety and Security officers were called to the Diag Monday night to respond to student concerns about a man seen carrying an Islamic State flag and dressed in a thwab, a traditional Arab garment.
The man was first seen and approached by the police Sunday night.
Dear subscribers,
Today, we have coverage of University President Mark Schlissel's response to anti-Black posters on campus, as well as a man wearing ISIS garb who came to campus for a second time to provoke conversation. Avalon Bakery is set to open a location in Ann Arbor. In sports, Erin Finn and the women's cross country team claimed the individual and Big Ten title, and Michigan football prepares for all sorts of reunion against Maryland this weekend.
All the best,
The Michigan Daily
While most of the Michigan football team will be anticipating a meeting with its former defensive coordinator, redshirt junior fullback Henry Poggi will be looking forward to the Wolverinesâ matchup with Maryland on Saturday for a much more personal reason.
Detroit-based bakery Avalon International Breads is expanding outside the city by opening a brand new cafe in downtown Ann Arbor.
The bakery closed a deal last Monday to secure the location of the former Mezzevino Mediterranean Kitchen and Bar on 129 E. Liberty St.
The retail bakery will be named Avalon Hearth and Soul Café and is on track to be open by the end of this year.
University of Michigan President Mark Schlissel discussed anti-Black and anti-Islam posters hung around campus recently at the Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs meeting Tuesday, praising faculty response.
Faculty members also expressed concerns about the recently launched University Diversity, Equity and Inclusion plan, with some characterizing it as a quota system for increasing diversity.
Finn led the No. 6 Michigan womenâs cross country team to its first conference title since 2012.
