Dear subscribers,

Thursday night, the Michigan men's basketball team triumphed over Indiana with a 90-60 win. The University of Michigan Division of Public Safety and Security has expanded their offer for safety presentations in light of concerns about emergency situations on campus. The University Musical Society appointed Matthew VanBesien, current New York Philharmonic executive director, as their seventh president. Two University of Michigan professors appear on a Professor Watchlist circulated by conservative advocacy group Turning Point USA. Finally, community members praise and oppose a new policy that allows new names to be considered for academic buildings on campus.

All the best,
The Michigan Daily

U professors put on watchlist for anti-conservative views

LSA junior Enrique Zalamea, the president of the University of Michigan’s chapter of College Republicans, has a poster up in his room that reads, “Came to college, still not a liberal.” He said it stems from a joke, but the words on the poster mean a great deal to him. After all, it hasn’t been easy to defend his conservative views on campus.

“It's playing off that joke that college makes people more liberal, and when you think about it, it's true,” Zalamea said. “It all boils down to (how) liberalism is taught like a fact as opposed to an opinion.”
