On this episode of the daily weekly we will examine the University’s approach to how Professors are hired at The University of Michigan. On Mar 22, 2023 Michigan Daily News Writers Sneha Dhandapani and Irena Li reported that former university President Mark Schissel would teach an immunology course in the fall of 2023. With this news The Daily Weekly decided to investigate the hiring process regarding how Professors get hired to teach at the Ann Arbor campus and if the process was highly uniformed or varied among departments and colleges within the university.

This week on The Daily Weekly, we want to talk about sustainability. As our world grows warmer, sustainability has become a buzz-word in nearly every industry including on campus with the University of Michigan trying to clean up its carbon footprint. You may have heard that the University has recently reached two of its twenty-twenty-five sustainability goals and in honor of that achievement we would like to define sustainability and its role both in relation to climate change, but also as an entirely separate entity. Our team has spoken with four experts working with sustainability and especially with sustainability on campus. You will hear from Adam Fisher the sustainability communications manager, Professor Sara Soderstrom, as well as Rachel Mintz and Chen Liu two of our reporters tuned into sustainability on campus.

There are films with an outrageous premise (a plane full of snakes or a bear on cocaine) that are purposely over the top in action and dialogue. They attract audiences through shock factor or curiosity, but often don’t have a strong enough script to gain the notoriety of “cult classic” or the Queer undertones to be called “camp”. They make us ask, “Who is this for?” and “Why was this made?” Which is what we’ll attempt to answer in this episode. Are these films just an easy cash grab, or is there a cultural significance to making a film about a bear going on a killing spree while high on cocaine?

Many students here at the University of Michigan major in a variety of subjects, some majors through LSA include Biology, Health and Society, Economics, Computer Science, other students may be within the Ross School of Business or possibly in the College of Engineering and obtaining potentially a Biomedical major. The common denominator with these majors just recently stated is the shared requirement of having a math requirement being a part of that major’s specific curriculum. Calculus being the most common. One of the most in demand courses taught here in Ann Arbor in the department of mathematics. However, calculus and other courses taken within the math department have historically had a reputation of being difficult to do well in and significantly more time consuming than students have expected. In this episode the The Daily Weekly Podcast team is breaking down and clarifying the concerns and structural make-up of the Michigan Math Department.
