Though set to occur July 16-19 this year, the Ann Arbor Art Fair has been canceled due to concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite previously planning to continue the fair, organizers cited safety concerns in their decision to cancel a tradition that has spanned over 60 years in Ann Arbor.
Dear subscribers,
Good evening.
Welcome to the May 10 edition of the Daily Digest. With various states considering reopening amid the COVID-19 pandemic, among other responses, now is the best time to ensure you are staying up to date on this weekâs top news stories.
This week, the Ann Arbor Art Fair is canceled, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer extends the stay-at-home order to May 28 and Debbie Dingell discusses the CARES Act in a virtual town hall.
A former University of Michigan track and field athlete filed a lawsuit on May 7 alleging the University failed to protect her and created a hostile environment after another team member sexually assaulted her in 2016.
The lawsuit named the University, the Board of Regents, Athletic Director Warde Manuel, track and field coach James Henry and Title IX investigators as defendants for being indifferent towards her repeated pleas for protection from her assaulter, which the plaintiff alleges created a hostile environment.
In a press conference Thursday, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer extended Michiganâs stay-at-home order until May 28, two weeks longer than the previous order.
Whitmer previously announced manufacturing workers can resume work on May 11, including workers at Michiganâs Big 3 auto companies. This is part of her six-step MI Safe Start plan, which outlines a gradual reopening for Michiganâs economy.
An application for federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act emergency funding through the University is now available on the student self-service page in Wolverine Access. The University of Michigan-Ann Arbor received $12.6 million for student aid from the federal CARES Act.
The one page application asks students to describe their reason for requesting emergency funds. Students must also list a cost for each COVID-19-related expense they seek assistance for.
In a virtual town hall held Tuesday morning, U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., discussed the implication and effects of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act and answered a variety of other questions.
In addition, Dingell discussed the stay-at-home orders in Michigan, particularly pointing to the challenge of where to draw the line between protecting individual rights and the common good as Michigan considers reopening.
