Today, we take a look at Innovate, a new initiative from Central Student Government that aims to make public service more accessible to students from diverse academic backgrounds. We also take a look at fifth-year senior forward Duncan Robinson's recent performance on the Michigan men's basketball team. Tuesday evening, Central Student Government President Anushka Sarkar CSG Vice President Nadine Jawad sent a school-wide email condemning neo-Nazi and white supremacist Richard Spencer’s potential visit.

Tuesday evening, Central Student Government President Anushka Sarkar, an LSA senior, and CSG Vice President Nadine Jawad, a Public Policy senior, sent a school-wide email condemning neo-Nazi and white supermacist Richard Spencer’s potential visit to the University of Michigan campus.

Fearing an unsafe atmosphere on campus, Sarkar and Jawad asked students to sign a petition, which Sarkar plans to present to the Board of Regents Thursday.

The statement emphasizes the possibility of violence that would accompany Spencer’s visit.

The Michigan Daily Sex Survey 2017

Here at The Statement Magazine we’re interested in telling the stories that matter to this campus. Today, we’re talking about sex. How do you do it? How often? What do you know about reproductive health and sexual health? The Daily surveyed 6,000 random students on campus and received 1,191 responses. We hope the facts and stories in these pages accurately convey what sex looks like on campus today.
