It is time for major structural change in the Detroit Public Schools (DPS). Under the Detroit Board of Education, DPS has failed the students that it serves by almost every measure.

On Saturday, Jan. 23, over 60 students and nearly a dozen experts on environmental issues and citizen activism gathered in the Samuel T. Dana Building on campus for a conference on climate change titled, “From Copenhagen to Ann Arbor: Charting Michigan’s Green Future.”  The event was organized by the Environmental Issues Committee of College Democrats at the University of Michigan and sought to bring discussion and conversation about environmental issues to campus, such as the impact of the COP 15 Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, on climate change policy.
