Since taking the job in 1997, President Reid has been transforming Wayne State into one of the nation’s most visible urban research universities. Among his goals is broadening the university’s reach from that of a local commuter school to one that regularly draws students from throughout the world. “You don’t achieve great things in life by avoiding taking risks,” Reid said. Photos of President Reid are included with the article.

• Murray Jackson, a poet, community and civil rights activist and member of Wayne State University’s Board of Governors, died on Tuesday at the age of 75, reported the Detroit News February 8. "Murray Jackson gave his magnificent intellect to the world and his heart to higher education, especially to Wayne State University," said Wayne State President Irvin D. Reid. "He was a unifier," said Leon Atchison, chairman of Wayne State University's Board of Governors. "When there was a knotty decision that impacted various factions, he would always come up with a unifying solution. Peace was one of his big things." A photo is included with the obituary.

• “Hillegonds named to WSU's board” was the head on a January 30 story in the Detroit News. Detroit Renaissance President Paul Hillegonds of Plymouth was appointed to the Wayne State University Board of Governors by Gov. John Engler to replace Murray Jackson, who had earlier resigned from the board.

The Monitor January 21 quoted President Irvin D. Reid extensively about Dr. King's legacy and the significance of this year's luncheon theme titled "A Time for Unity and A Time for Diversity."

The Oakland Press on February 6 and Macomb Daily February 7 also covered. “This is the best way to give back to the business that has given so much to me,” he said.

• A page one story in the business section of the Detroit News and Free Press January 27 features Dean of Nursing Barbara Redman, who was quoted on a new bill in the Legislature designed to increase the number of nurses. "I hope it's possible to break loose a sufficient amount of money to support this," she says. The Detroit News, January 4, carried both a story and letter to the editor from Redman. Enrollment is up in nursing schools nationally and in Michigan after six years of decline. Dean Redman said at Wayne that is due to heightened recruiting efforts. In the letter to the editor, Redman lauds the News for its recent series on America’s nursing shortage, and she calls for better pay and working conditions as well as support for advanced education to help stem the flow of nurses into other professions.

• Dr. Peter Lichtenberg, director of Wayne State's Institute of Gerontology, is quoted in Desiree Cooper’s column in the February 5 Detroit Free Press about memory loss. “For women, memory loss often does accompany hormonal changes during the month as well as during menopause,” he said.

Jesse Vivian, a professor of pharmacy law and ethics, is quoted about the increase in Americans obtaining illegal prescription medications. When a local pharmacist suspects a prescription has been forged or altered, he or she has the choice “to fill or not to fill,” he says.

• A February 6 Detroit News article on Enron quotes Peter J. Henning, associate professor and director of graduate studies. He wrote an editorial page piece about how the collapse of Enron called into question the work of lawyers whose job includes advising companies about the propriety of their conduct. “A lawyer should not reveal what a client has done or otherwise compromise the confidentiality of attorney-client communications. But an important lesson from the Enron situation is that the profession's pubic responsibility does sometimes mean a lawyer has to refuse a client's request that limits the exercise of independent professional judgment and, if necessary, fire a client, even a lucrative one,” he said. the Detroit News reported February 11 federal prosecutors are seeking the death penalty in a Michigan murder case even though Michigan outlawed capital punishment in 1846. Henning commented on the case. "They're (federal prosecutors) going to have to establish federal jurisdiction. If they don't, the case is out. He could say, 'I killed her,' but if they don't prove it was on federal land, he's then turned over to the state prosecutors."

• The American Cancer Society has awarded four grants totaling $1.84 million to local cancer researchers, The Detroit News reported February 12.
