Provost hopes to engage students BRITTNY MEJIA Arizona Daily Wildcat

Provost Andrew Comrie’s fourth town hall meeting again addressed the university’s strategic plan and aimed to gather public input about increasing student engagement. Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs Comrie and J.C.

Mutchler, the chair of the Strategic Planning and Budget Advisory Committee, hosted Friday morning’s town hall after holding three others during the week. Each town hall has been open for campus members to provide feedback that could help change the current draft of the strategic plan. “We’re trying to get everyone to

feel like this is something that’s our campus plan, not a plan that’s being dictated from somewhere up above,” Comrie said. “That’s a process that requires a lot of engagement like this to get people buying into it.” The last town hall meeting, which was held Friday, allowed Comrie and Mutchler to explain the goals of the plan in different areas such as

teaching, research and outreach. One specific goal Comrie touched on throughout the presentation is the need to create “100 percent engagement” with students. Comrie described the engagement experience as students using their knowledge and participating in an internship, a research experience or an activity on campus to get out of the

Student target of robbery in Park Garage MAXWELL J. MANGOLD Arizona Daily Wildcat

BRIANA SANCHEZ/ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT A PARADE OF ATTENDEES at Tucson SlutWalk 2012 started on Park Avenue before making its way down Sixth Street and back up University Boulevard and ending at the Women’s Plaza of Honor. The event aimed to raise awareness about feminist activism and to reclaim the word “slut” in an effort to remove its negative connotations.

Saturday. SlutWalk Tucson was formed in 2011 to challenge victim blaming, the idea that victims of sexual assault must have done something to deserve it. The event was sponsored by the UA Women’s

Resource Center and aimed to bring more awareness to women’s rights. The walk also served a celebration of everyone’s right to determine their own sexuality and who gets to share it with them. The center promotes gender equality

through education, leadership development and advocacy. “I think it is really sad that today, especially young people, don’t see that there is a need for feminism,”

A male student was the target of a strong-armed robbery in the Park Avenue Parking Garage at 4:20 p.m. on Nov. 15. The student was walking through the garage when he exchanged words with two men in a white van, said Joe Bermudez, a crime prevention officer for the University of Arizona Police Department. After walking by the vehicle and up the northeast stairway of the garage, the student was confronted by the man who had been sitting in the van’s passenger seat. He was described as Caucasian and in his 20s with short, blond hair wearing a white shirt and shorts. The man threated the student, demanding he surrender his belongings, which the student did. Bermudez did not disclose
