University of Michigan may change investment policy
University of Michigan officials are considering allowing financial administrators to make investment decisions outside of public meetings.
University officials announced the proposed change on Thursday. The Board of Regents currently considers investment moves at its monthly meetings. The proposal would move that responsibility to the investment office staff. The
board would then only vote on broad guidelines for the university’s investments.
The move comes as the university announced the findings of an independent review of its investment procedures.
PricewaterhouseCoopers found the university has sound financial controls for the $13 million managed by the university’s Office of Investments.

Anti-Jewish graffiti painted on late author’s house
Romanian police began an investigation Saturday after anti-Semitic graffiti appeared on the house of the late Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel in northwest Romania.
The probe was launched after comments in bright pink paint were scrawled overnight on Wiesel’s small house— a protected monument— in the town of Sighetu Marmatiei. One of the scrawls said Wiesel was “in hell with Hitler.”
The Romanian group for Monitoring and Fighting Anti-Semitism called it an act of vandalism against the “memory of Elie Wiesel, the memory of the Holocaust victims and the souls of the Holocaust survivors.”
Along with 14,000 Jews, Wiesel and his family were deported in May 1944 to the Nazi death camp of Auschwitz from the town, formerly called Sighet. His mother and younger sister died there while he and his two older sisters survived.
