Dear subscribers,
Well, everyone,

BUT, the good news is that we are launching our brand new weekly newsletter this Thursday: The Michigan Daily Weekly Roundup! Reminder, University of Michigan students are already subscribed, but if youâre a non-student who would like the same up-to-date on campus news updates, subscribe here.
This week, hundreds rally on the Diag for racial justice, the Faculty Senate consider a vote of no confidence in the administration and freshmen grapple with a changed move-in experience.
University of Michigan faculty members are considering a vote of no confidence in the administration due to the Universityâs response to the COVID-19 pandemic and fall reopening plan, faculty members said at an emergency Faculty Senate meeting Friday.
The meeting came a few days after a July 31 memo to University President Mark Schlissel from the Presidentâs Advisory COVID-19 Committee on Ethics and Privacy was inadvertently made public and began circulating online, sparking criticism toward University administration. A successful vote of no confidence would mean the Faculty Senate no longer believes in University leadershipâs ability to execute its role, which in this case applies to the Universityâs fall reopening plan, according to a copy of the motion obtained by The Daily.
As the first day of fall semester approaches and students move into on-campus residence halls, freshmen have had to modify their expectations for what the semester will now look like.
The Daily senior news editor Ben Rosenfeld talked to a variety of incoming freshmen about their expectations and experiences moving in amid a challenging fall semester.
Two cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed in a University residence hall as students move onto campus. Two residents in West Quad Residence Hall who also visited South Quad Dining Hall tested positive for the virus, according to a notice from Danielle Sheen, executive director of the Environment, Health & Safety Department, which was dated Aug. 26 and taped in West Quad.
University spokeswoman Kim Broekhuizen confirmed the two âunrelatedâ cases in an email to The Daily. She wrote that both students have returned to their permanent residences to isolate. The posting said the two students, who lived on the first and fourth floors, left West Quad Tuesday.
The Dailyâs reporters saw multiple parties near campus and many maskless groups walking around dressed for a night out last Sunday and Monday.
With classes set to begin on Monday, the issue of off-campus parties has turned students against one another, prompting heated debates on social media and in group chats of University students.
