Judge Bans Alcohol at Eastern Michigan Fraternity

A Michigan county judge issued a preliminary injunction banning alcohol and limiting the number of guests at a fraternity at Eastern Michigan University on Wednesday, The Detroit News reported.

The preliminary injunction against Delta Tau Delta was sought by city officials in Ypsilanti, the town where Eastern Michigan University is located, and Washtenaw County prosecutor Eli Savit, who filed a lawsuit against the fraternity in January. The lawsuit alleges Delta Tau Delta created a public nuisance in its fraternity house or on nearby properties “where 15 reported sexual assaults and other crimes fueled by ‘copious’ amounts of alcohol consumption have been reported,” according to The Detroit News.

Circuit Court Judge Timothy Connors signed the injunction request against Delta Tau Delta and said the fraternity “created and maintained an abatable nuisance conditions of the unlawful furnishing of alcohol to minors and environment conducive to sexual assaults that has engendered fear in the community.” He said during the hearing he rarely has issued preliminary injunctions. “You have the responsibility to turn around the relationship your fraternity has in the community that you live in and the university that you are a part of,” Connors told Delta Tau Delta president Derek Koester.

Eastern Michigan in September began a review of the fraternity, which is still ongoing, a university spokesperson said in an email, according to The Detroit News. A pretrial hearing is scheduled for March 17.

When medievalist Mary Rambaran-Olm wrote about having her book review “torpedoed” for not being “more generous” to the book’s authors, no one could have expected that this would send shock waves across the academic community in what became an online maelstrom revealing the extent of white academic gatekeeping, ally performativity and blatant racism. For those of us who work on decentering whiteness in premodern fields such as classics, medieval/early modern studies, archaeology and in or on the Global South, this latest attack targeting a scholar of color exposed what many of us have been trying to draw attention to for years—that racism is deep and pernicious in the so-called liberal and woke academy. Rambaran-Olm was commissioned to review The Bright Ages: A New History of Medieval Europe ( HarperCollins ) for the Los Angeles Review of Books because of her expertise in early English medieval literature and history, and because she is one of the leading scholars challenging the

Consdierations for Another Uncertain Semester

Blog:  Just Visiting There are going to be a lot of sick people on college campuses in the fall. This is a pretty easy prediction because there are always a lot of sick people on college campuses given the very nature of the activities that happen on college campuses. I know I am not the only instructor to look out over a classroom and see lots of empty seats as students are felled by one virus or another.  I remember a particularly bad bout of mono that caught five students out of twenty in a single class and would’ve resulted in a passel of incompletes if I gave incompletes. (More on this in a moment.) While indications are that the coronavirus vaccines are holding up well against the Delta variant in preventing severe disease, hospitalization, and death, even vaccinated people are getting sick. It is beyond frustrating that a virus that could’ve been isolated and marginalized continues to thrive, but for now, as measured by the worst outcomes, we are collectively in a di
