At the University of Michigan, Environmental Justice Starts With Who Gets to Decide

When Michelle Martinez talks about climate change, she does not begin with temperatures, emissions, or models and projections. She begins with people. For Martinez, the inaugural director of the Tishman Center for Social Justice and the Environment at the University of Michigan (U-M), climate change is already being experienced through the housing, economic, and political crises confronting communities today. And that makes climate justice inseparable from a more basic civic question: Who has the power to decide what happens to a community? The Tishman Center, established in 2021 at U-M’s School for Environment and Sustainability, was created around a particular idea of what a university can do in that struggle. Made possible through gifts from The NorthLight Foundation and Dan and Sheryl Tishman, the center connects students with environmental justice organizations and community leaders, supports community-led research, and prepares students to work on the problems communities are already facing. That model grew partly from what Martinez felt was missing during her years working in environmental justice in Detroit. “What I really needed from the university was a constant and steady support, with actionable research that could result in policy change,” she said. Communities' needs, however, rarely follow the timetable of

Howell Voters Approve District's Non-Homestead Operating Millage Renewal

Howell Public Schools is thanking voters for passing the district's non-homestead operating millage renewal Tuesday:. "Howell Public Schools is grateful for the support of district residents in approving both the non-homestead operating millage renewal and restoration proposals in the Nov. 3 election. Approval of the renewal allows the district to continue levying the 18-mill non-homestead operating millage beyond the expiration of the current authorization in 2027. Approval of the restoration returns the district's authorized millage rate to 19.0495 mills, the rate approved by voters in 2014. Under Michigan's school funding system, established by Proposal A in 1994, school districts must levy an 18-mill non-homestead operating millage to receive their full per-pupil funding as established by the state of Michigan.

Akeel, Mack on verge of claiming Wayne State University governors' seats

Democrat Richard Mack and Shereef Akeel were on their way toward claiming two open seats on the Wayne State Board of Governors in the Tuesday, Nov. 3, election. The Associated Press called the race for Akeel, D-Troy, and Mack, D-Detroit, over Republicans Christa Murphy, R-Bloomfield Hills, and Andy Anuzis, R-Brighton. The Michigan Secretary of State results showed Mack leading with 26.3% of the vote, followed by Akeel at 25.7%, according to Michigan Secretary of State election results updated on Friday, Nov. 6. Murphy and Anuzis trailed at 22.5% and 21.6%, respectively. The two vacancies stem from Democratic incumbents Dr. Anil Kumar and board Chair Bryan Barnhill II, who decided not to seek reelection. Mack said he felt the Democratic wave was a sign that voters were rejecting "hate." He added he was grateful he was chosen to serve on the board. "I'm excited that the community, students, faculty, together we’re going to continue the great work the board has been doing," Mack said. "I'm excited about the new president, the opportunity to go higher." Akeel said he was honored to be voted onto the board.
