Outspoken professor asked not to return, ‘passing torch’

atharine Westaway, an outspoken lecturer who has been criticized over her handling of student sexual assault cases at the University of Miami, was asked not to return for the spring semester.

In an email sent to her former students, Westaway, a lecturer in the Women’s and Gender Studies Department, said that on Dec. 17, 2015 she was informed that she was “fired.” In the email, titled “Dr. Westaway fired but Passing the Torch this Wednesday,” she claims that the firing “was certainly tied to my involvement in seeking justice and healing for sexual assault victims. And I am not looking for UM to re-hire me--because of the manner in which they treated me for the last eight months, I will never feel safe to work with victims or teach civic engagement at UM again.”

While school spokesperson Margot Winick said that the university does not comment on employment issues due to policy, she confirmed that Westaway was not reappointed for another term.

“The university categorically denies that the decision not to reappoint Professor Westaway had anything to do with her concerns about victims of sexual assault. These are concerns that the university shares.”

Westaway said that there was a downward spiral in her treatment at the university after she and her class launched the “Justice for Angela” campaign.

Canes Consent was refused funding to screen “The Hunting Ground,” a film about sexual assault on college campuses across the United States, according to Westaway.

Website expands on culture initiative goals

By Jorge Chabo Senior News Writer

A

new website has been created that outlines an ongoing initiative to transform the culture and to improve the working climate at the University of Miami.

The site, titled Culture Transformation, is a movement to “be able to dig deeper into these themes and show how we can present ourselves to the larger society,” according to President Frenk in the website’s opening video. The themes he speaks of are represented by the acronym DIRECCT, which stands for diversity, integrity, responsibility, excellence, compassion, creativity and teamwork.

As of right now, the site is only accessible to those who have a UM email. On it, there is a series of videos and content that explains the exact goal of this initiative: “Building a Better U together.”

Charrise Lopez-Mason, leader of the human resources team that created the website, purposely placed the website behind the firewall of the Outlook email to keep the site internal, as it is intended for the university community. She said that this initiative has actually been in motion for the past three to four years and falls in line nicely with President Frenk’s agenda.

Under the “learn” tab, the site offers resources for attending training sessions and has a list of the “culture coaches” who help to facilitate these trainings.

These “culture coaches” are selected employees who were interested in implementing this initiative and were trained by the Disney Institute to train employees on different aspects of the culture transformation. The

HEALTH AND WELLNESS employees selected have already worked with UM for time periods ranging from two to 10 years. “[All] of that [training] ties in to making sure that when we’re recruiting people to work here that their values match well with the culture of the university,” Mason said.

Mason also made it clear that they were only in phase one of the Culture Transformation and that, as of this moment, it will only apply to the faculty and staff. Phase two is scheduled for some time this year; it will involve students more vigorously than their current involvement through focus groups. Moving forward, the initiative is going to align with President Frenk’s “Culture of Belonging” movement.

Furthermore, a group of seven individuals were selected to oversee the direction of the culture transformation. The members are: Executive Vice President and Provost Thomas J. Leblanc, Dean Isaac Prilleltensky of the School of Education and Human Development, Chief Financial Officer Joe Natoli, Vice President of Budget and Planning Mark Diaz, Vice President of Communications Jacqueline R. Menendez, Dean Pascal J. Goldschmidt of the Miller School of Medicine and Vice President of Human Resources Nerissa Morris.

Dean Prilleltensky said that the initiative’s purpose is to create a standard for leadership and behavior in order to improve the working climate of the university.

“I think it’s important that we appreciate the president’s initiative to create a culture of belonging … That we go beyond demographic to have everyone feel they have value and add value to the university. It’s a very welcoming message,” said Prilleltensky.

As depicted on the culture initiative roadmap found on the home page, the creation of this site combined with President Frenk’s efforts to improve and diversify the culture perception of the university is just the first step.

Stanford residents find mold in dorms after winter break

nown for both its sweltering heat and humid climate, Miami has the perfect weather for the growth of mold – and that’s what many freshmen students in the Rosbor-

ough Tower of Stanford Residential College returned to find after winter break.

Housing and Residential Life declined to comment on the situation, but Area Director Jaimie Osborn sent out an email about reporting personal items affected. However, the email does not mention a specific reason for the damage.

“You are receiving this email because during break your personal belongings may have been effected [sic] in some way. If you believe your items are damaged or not cleanable you have until Friday, January 15th to complete an incident report for the central housing

STICKY SITUATION: After returning from winter break, multiple students in Stanford Residential College found mold growing on their clothes, shoes and appliances, such as this mini refrigerator. The cause of the mold appeared to be an air conditioning malfunction throughout the dorm.

By submitting an incident report, you are allowing housing to review your case and determine if they will be cleaning, replacing or doing nothing with your claim. We encourage residents to keep any damaged belongs [sic], document with pictures and be detailed with pricing by attaching receipts when possible.”

Over the break, humidity along with temperatures within the building may have risen, creating the perfect climate for mold growth. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website lists “warm, damp and humid conditions” as the best for the growth of mold.

The effects of the outbreak were seen on many Stanford Residents’ possessions, some hit harder than others. One freshman, Gyles Ward, returned to find his clothes were covered by mold: a pair of dark pants with mold in spades and a cardigan covered in fungi.

“The clothes had a lot of sentimental value and it was just a heart-wrenching experience to be welcomed back by such a sight,” he said.

The mold did not just hit clothes. It also grew on walls, carpets, refrigerators and even the instrument of one music student who didn’t wish to be named.

Vanessa Gonzalez also cited the sentimental value of her damaged property.

“I lost a pair of vintage boots from Vietnam, one of a kind, which held a lot of sentimental value,” Gonzalez said.

Some types of mold have the capability of causing respiratory irritation, rashes and allergic reactions that can be dangerous, according to the CDC. Residents like Suhas Seshadri immediately asked for any mold growing on his room’s walls to be removed. The school’s response was prompt enough to prevent any apparent health problems.

Lecturer’s dismissal follows controversial activism

By Isabella Cueto and William Riggin Assistant News Editor and News Editor

“We got no funding to screen ‘The Hunting Ground’ from the WGS department, which is supposed to be having a sexual assault-themed year.”

The group was still able to screen the film at the Cosford Cinema on campus by using a free time slot at no charge around 3 p.m., according to Westaway.

Westaway said that she was shocked by her treatment because she previously had great relationships with her supervisors and superiors.

“I can give you past letters of my directors. They are glowing, because not only do

I love and work on this field, but I am a workhorse in the department,” she said. “I do programming, I work with students, I do so much in the department that they really are supportive of me.”

WESTAWAY Westaway was an ardent supporter of Angela Cameron, a student at the school who accused another student, David Jia, of raping her in April of 2014.

“For me, it’s not a choice. It’s like, you see someone, they’re flailing in the ocean, you’re sitting on the sand. It’s not a choice; you go after them, you try to save them,” Westaway said of her activism.

Jia was suspended by the Dean of Students Ricardo D. Hall for the following fall semester, but allowed to return in the spring of 2015. Police declined to charge Jia due to a lack of evidence, but Hall found that Jia had violated the school’s student conduct policy.

Jia was found responsible by the university of sexual assault, sexual violence and intimate partner violence.

When he returned in the spring, the Canes Consent group founded by Westaway

collected thousands of signatures on a petition to deny Jia, a senior, the ability to graduate at the school. He was ultimately allowed to walk at the graduation ceremony that spring.

Cameron then alleged that Jia had beaten her twice during the semester, but the Coral Gables Police Department released a report in which they said they could not place Jia at the locations where Cameron claimed to have been beaten. Then-President of UM Donna Shalala later released a statement that labeled the beating accusation as “unfounded.”

Westaway said she still stands by the “Justice for Angela” campaign, considering it a necessary movement at the university.

“It absolutely needed to have the antiseptic of sunlight. Angela was mistreated, she was broken by the school,” she said.

Westaway said that the Dean of Students Office even put a “gag order” on her shortly before Cameron was suspended for a semester in the fall of 2015.

“It’s bitterly, bitterly ironic that she received the same punishment that a rapist and batterer would receive. I don’t think she deserved it,” Westaway said.

Claire Oueslati-Porter now teaches the Introduction to Women’s and Gender Studies class that Westaway taught. The National Organization for Women, of which Westaway was faculty advisor, will appoint a new advisor. According to Winick, the Sexual Assault Survivors Support Group is not an official group at the University.

Twelve students met with Westaway on Wednesday night in a conference room at a co-working space, where she encouraged them to continue what she started.

Westaway’s email directed recipients to sign an online petition calling for the school to make space in the new Lennar Foundation Medical Center for a Sexual Assault Survivor Support Center. The petition outlines a “seven room suite” for the support center, which “would include two therapy rooms, one forensics room for rape kits (with 24-hour access), one media room, one coordinator’s room and one room solely for group therapy and community and victim advocacy.”

“I would want victims to receive the utmost caring, quick, comprehensive, just treatment. I want them to be understood to be some of the most suffering people in the world,” Westaway said, “and I want them to be treated with great care.”

TEAM DIVES IN TO NEW POOL

BIGGER AND BETTER: The UM Swimming & Diving team practices Wednesday afternoon at the UC pool. The pool opened Monday after renovations which lasted throughout last summer and fall.

New features include increased depth, a temperature regulation system, a chemi-

cal balance system and LED lights. The new systems keep the water at optimal condition for swimmers.

The dive platforms were also raised in order to compensate for water level elevation. The pool’s grand opening party will be hosted on Thursday from noon to 2 p.m. at the Lakeside Patio.

Ceremony honors victims of 2010 Haiti earthquake

By Amanda Herrera Contributing Writer

F

elicia Knaul challenged students to apply Haiti’s example of resilience during the 2010 earthquake to the university community and beyond at the Haiti Remembrance Ceremony on Tuesday at the Lakeside Patio Stage.

Knaul, director of the University of Miami’s Miami Institute for the Americas, was invited to speak

by Planet Kreyol, a Haitian student organization, before a moment of silence was held at 4:53 p.m. – exactly six years after the 7.0 earthquake occurred that killed over 200,000. Knaul called the acts fol-

lowing the earthquake “world class and [an] extraordinary demonstration of what is resilience.”

“Reliance is what we can apply to fight and respond to the earthquakes that happen every single day [and] poverty that happens in Haiti and in other places,” Knaul said.

Knaul even tied in causal factors that generated the earthquake and will generate other earthquakes in our hemisphere – a topic she and her husband, University of Miami President Julio Frenk, are passionate about.

She went on to challenge attendees to think about what can be done in the community and beyond to change how much natural and human-made disasters shake the world during the moment of silence in remembrance.

Miami has one of the largest Haitian populations in the nation, which is why, according to Planet Kreyol Vice President and senior Freddy Michaud, the organization felt that it was appropriate to commemorate and honor the Haitian

SILENT REFLECTION: Students bow their heads in a moment of silence during Wednesday’s Haiti earthquake remembrance ceremony at the Lakeside Patio. Planet Kreyol hosted the event to honor the victims of the earthquake that struck Haiti in 2010. community six years after the tragedy.

“Haitian-American people have had an impact on the people in Haiti,” Michaud said. “The work that we do here directly influences them and we want to make sure

that we keep this moment in remembrance of them and show that work still needs to be done.”

Although many negative things happened following the disaster, External Vice President senior Robenson Beralus said that

that the three-strike rule would deter students from attending the library and the word “strike” sounded too strong.

he believes that the most positive aspect to come out of the tragedy is that the Obama administration allowed for Haitian migrants to obtain legal documents including driver’s licenses and work permits, something that greatly helped Haitians looking for a better life.

For Beralus, Jan. 12, 2010 is a day he will always remember. He was sitting at home with his uncle “just hanging out” when the earthquake occurred and they received a phone call that his uncle’s wife had died.

“It was the first time I ever saw my uncle cry,” Beralus said.

Beralus’s story is just one of thousands, according to Secretary for Planet Kreyol senior Emmanuella Jean-Jacques, which is why it is so important to remember the earthquake each year.

“We are Haitians,” said JeanJacques. “It’s a way for us to come together and be there for each other on a day like today.”

Mobile app updated, library rules revised, hoverboards banned indoors

University of Miami Application The University of Miami Information Technology department and communications department are revamping the uni-

versity’s mobile application to update the software and increase user functionality and interactivity.

Numerous programs within the application are outdated.

For example, the Coral Gables campus map currently does not have the Shalala Student Center (SCC) on it; the Hurry ‘Cane shuttle schedule has inaccurate timing info and the course lists miss many classes and have outof-date course numbers. The application was created and last updated for the iPhone 4. Newer phone models show a smaller version of the application that does not fit current screen sizes.

Also, it is impossible to utilize

New Library Rule The library’s three-strike rule has been replaced with a new five-pass rule, allowing students to enter the library five times without their Cane Card before repercussions are enforced. The Campus Liaison Council helped to rectify the rule as they felt

Hoverboards Hoverboards are not permitted inside any university building according to Brandon Gross, the associate director of the SCC, who cited safety concerns as the reason.

Gross said that Nicholas Children Hospital have reported treating 54 people involved in hoverboard accidents. Forty-two of them have been for fractures.

Opinion EDITORIAL

Culture Transformation initiative raises concerns, contradictions President Julio Frenk is already making a distinct mark on the university with only one semester under his belt. Since his initial appointment last spring, he has often emphasized the importance of diversity, and this is one of several principles included in a new university-wide Culture Transformation initiative that officially went underway last semester.

According to the university’s SharePoint website, the initiative hopes to instill several key community values – diversity, integrity, responsibility, excellence, creativity, compassion and teamwork – through formal training. The website offers signups for “New Day” training sessions, perky videos about transforming lives and a set of listed “behaviors” corresponding to the university’s

expectations. The initiative revolves around the belief that the university should be more customerservice oriented.

Some faculty members have expressed concerns about being required to adhere to “Disney training.” While the stated values are very positive, we must remember that the university, or at least the undergraduate campus, is above all a place of higher learning, not a hospitality service.

Academia is founded on the basic processes of learning, teaching and discovery; the very use of a term like “customer service” taints this image with a commercialized quality that undermines the university’s ability to be taken seriously as a prestigious academic leader.

Some of the ideals touted by the initiative seem at odds with each other. In a promotional video, Emmy Award–winning journalist and alumna Jackie Nespral talks about “one consistent experience,” and yet Dean Leonidas Bachas

speaks of the importance in having a “diversity of ideas, challenging how we think.”

To what extent can one idea limit the other?

Still, the ideals of the initiative are hard to contest. Everyone can agree that it is important for diverse students to feel like they can participate in intellectual discussion and discovery and that respectful relationships between faculty and students foster a better learning experience.

At best, this initiative can help bring about thoughtful, honest introspection. But at worst, it imposes more bureaucratic obligations that interfere with the duties of our faculty and staff. One would hope is that the individuals hired or admitted by the university have their own intuition to meet these expectations without requiring extra training.

State of the Union emphasizes remediating partisan divisions

O

n Tuesday, President Obama held his final State of the Union address inside the House Chamber. He discussed the past, present and future of the infamously discordant world of U.S. politics.

As his time in the White House nears its end, the president chose to commence his hour-long speech by listing his administration’s achievements in the economy, healthcare and clean energy, issues that have spurred a

By Israel Aragon Contributing Columnist growing partisan divide in Congress over the years, as indicated by what has been a bitter election season for both parties.

Unfortunately, we’ve become all too familiar with the cacophony and immobility of the federal government. People often point fingers at the Oval Office. However, in reality, as anyone who has taken a beginnerlevel civics course knows, it takes two to tango … or in this case, more than 535.

What may seem like common-sense legislation to some politicians may be the other party’s greatest nightmare. Without the help of Congress, there’s not much the president can do besides issue a slew of executive orders. That’s not to say, though, that President Obama hasn’t had impressive accomplishments.

Many of President Obama’s more significant proposals such as the Affordable Care Act have become reality, much to the chagrin of House Republicans and conservatives across the nation. There’s no doubt that a relatively successful Democratic agenda paired with the growing power of dissenters has fueled division in U.S. politics. The president suggested getting rid of the partisan practice

of gerrymandering to make it easier for citizens to vote. By doing so, President Obama underscored a prominent component of democracy, striving to bridge the great divide as Lincoln did by embracing every politician in the gallery, not as Democrats and Republicans, but as one Congress.

And of course – as one American people. In recent years, many of us have succumbed to fear and strayed away from the nation’s foundations of equality and acceptance, instead choosing to stigmatize races and religions by radical means and proposals. Like, say, building a wall.

As part of a long road to progress, the president fervently emphasized the need to be inclusive by taking jabs at anti-Muslim rhetoric, which has heightened following recent terrorist attacks in Paris and California. Muslims, as well as immigrants and the LGBT community, were brought up as groups of people who have suffered through scorn and prejudice due to political rancor and backlash.

In past years, President Obama has initiated social policies intended to help these particular groups, to some success. With the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, gay individuals can openly serve in the military. Following the recent crisis in the Middle East, the United States has allowed thousands of Syrian refugees to enter the country. His executive actions on granting illegal immigrants temporary legal status, however, has hit a legal bulwark in recent months, further rubbing salt in a congressional-partisan wound that has yet to heal.

The clock is ticking, and President Obama has yet to accomplish everything he’s promised. Nevertheless, by shedding an optimistic light on his final year in office, the president aims to finish strong by stimulating funding for cancer research, cutting college costs and raising the minimum wage to assist the working class that makes up the backbone of this country’s economy. As the new year kicks off to a start and November’s election ominously draws closer, many of us, whether we agree with Obama’s proposals or not, would like to see an end of the government’s squabbling and more steps toward action and progress.

Living in Miami, we’re used to talking about weather fairly often, but the climate discussion has taken on a different angle this year with El Niño. This phenomenon, combined with global climate change, has produced some extremely destructive weather events in the last few weeks. Yet just three weeks out from the Iowa caucuses, the climate remains an issue that is largely ignored and even reproached.

El Niño is a natural event that occurs when the usual easterly winds over the Pacific Ocean weaken, so warm water that would normally

build up on the western side of the ocean sloshes back to the east and creates a pileup of warm water on the coasts of South and Central America.

This happens naturally and periodically, about every seven to 10 years. This cycle affects global weather events and the United States generally experiences warmer temperatures and more precipitation.

According to the 2015 climate data released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), this year was the secondhottest, third-wettest and the most extreme year for weather on record.

It can be easy to ignore climate news like this because we have become numb to the consistent rhetoric of environmental catastrophe after hearing so much about breaking records and massive changes in geodynamics. In reality, most of our lives have not changed drastically since climate change was brought to public attention.

I emphasize that “most” of our lives have not changed, because people around the world are in fact suffering, and even dying, due in part to climate change. To round up just some of these devastating weather events, on Dec. 28, 2015, 18 million people in states ranging from Illinois to Texas were affected by flash flooding according to The Washington Post.

Flash floods like these have been closely linked to climate change. The Environmental

This is an epidemic.

Climate change needs to be addressed as a critical issue for politics and policy, not just a niche interest. Events associated with climate change cause increased health care costs, economic hardship and significant disruptions to the lives of American citizens.

Republican frontrunner ahead of the Iowa caucuses Ted Cruz has not even clearly articulated whether or not he believes that climate change is real. Only three of the Republican presidential candidates have called for some kind of action on the issue and even fewer have articulated any specific steps.

Last month the COP 21, or the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris, made a momentous deal to slow temperature rise.

One hundred and eighty-six countries, including all significant emitters, have submitted concrete steps agreed upon to curb their emissions. If we want to be international leaders, our domestic leaders need to address climate change and make significant policy proposals to protect our economy, health and safety.

Protection Agency releases fact sheets on the predicted and observed climate change effects by region. Climate scientists predict that “precipitation in the Midwest is expected become more intense, leading to increased flood damage, strained drainage systems and reduced drinking water availability.”

The recent downpour caused “major inundations” of homes and roadways and irreparable damage to infrastructure. It broke the flood record that was set in 1993 by a disaster that resulted in $15 billion in damage. According to the Weather Channel, as of Jan. 3, at least 28 people have been killed by this weather system and its flooding.

The economic toll of this destruction is reason enough to place more emphasis on climate issues. Just a few days later, a “freak” storm caused the North Pole to reach temperatures above freezing – a whopping 50 degrees warmer than normal. Of course, floods existed before the industrial revolution ignited climate change, but the severity, magnitude and sheer number of extreme weather events is unprecedented.

Excluding severe weather and only taking into account warming global temperatures, “climate change is expected to cause approximately 250,000 additional deaths per year between 2030 and 2050; 38,000 due to heat exposure in elderly people, 48,000 due to diarrhea, 60,000 due to malaria and 95,000 due to childhood malnutrition,”

arts & entertainment Big City Folk Band brings unique sound

By Israel Aragon Contributing Writer

I

n a generation that considers the genres of pop and electronic as the pinnacles of mainstream music, Big City Folk Band, consisting of University of Miami student musicians, aims to step out of the norm by performing and writing songs that combine elements of folk, Americana and Celtic music in an unorthodox fashion using classical instruments.

Led by sophomore Samuel Feinstein, the band’s bassist, Big City Folk Band currently features senior Matthew Clinkenbeard on banjo and guitar, lead vocalist junior Katherine Evans on fiddle, junior Garrett Smith on mandolin and lead vocalist sophomore Trish Vega on guitar. Nick Chouard, a past member and vocalist, came up with the name of the band, which reflects the members’ profound appreciation of folk music despite the fact that each member comes from predominantly urban backgrounds.

The group formed in the spring of 2015 when Samuel wrote “Call to the Wind” in his Anglo-American Ensemble class and decided to form a band with members he knew personally, each of whom gravitated toward folk music. Since then, they’ve played at on and off-campus locations, including the Lakeside Patio Stage, the Sylvester Cancer Center and the UM Arboretum. As the band continues to evolve, its members hope to entertain crowds at bigger venues.

“We’re also planning some Florida shows, along with one in Nashville,” Clinkenbeard said. “So we’d definitely like to branch out on the local level, and perhaps even national. Probably a little more than just on campus.”

Big City Folk Band’s next performance will be at the Granary, slated for Feb. 26.

During their performances, the band plays a variety of songs from covers to originals that touch upon different facets of the human condition. One of the band’s more recent songs is “Undone,” a somber ballad that deals with loss and loneliness.

“We’ve each written a song at some point,” Evans said. “When I started writing folk, I was really into eerie, dark ballads, so songs like ‘Undone’ are just what came out.

It’s a creepy, sad song, but there’s a hopeful message that reaches out to the audience and whatever they’re going through.”

Having different musicians help with songwriting allows the band to produce a wider scope of songs, she explained.

“Sometimes our songs will be melancholy, but other times they can also be really bubbly. We’re different people with different ideas, so we don’t want to stick to just one particular mood,” she said.

While the band primarily boasts a traditional folk sound, Big City Folk Band also occasionally performs country covers of well-known songs from other genres like Johnny Mercer’s “Moon River.” The musicians cited the Punch Brothers as one of their biggest inspirations among other folk and bluegrass bands. Although both genres aren’t mainstream, the band doesn’t see that as a disadvantage.

“I’m under the impression that although the crowd that listens to folk might be a bit smaller, they’re a very loyal crowd,” Feinstein said.

Vega agreed that the band’s style is another way to set them apart.

“I don’t think folk ever really went away because by definition, it’s the people’s music,” she said. “I think it’s evolved to mean

Anything that makes us unique is cool.”

Aside from Punch Brothers, the band members also cited Mumford & Sons and Bob Dylan as huge inspirations, along with other artists and Southern musicians who have shaped the ubiquitous world of folk music.

“I grew up listening to country and bluegrass,” Clinkenbeard said. “I think the

rest of us are more into the folkier side of it, but I do like the redneck side of it.”

Big City Folk Band currently has a studio EP in the works and their songs and videos can be found on their official Facebook and SoundCloud pages.

Mark Richt finalizes coaching staff

By Mark Singer Sports Editor

T

he Hurricanes brought in new Head Coach Mark Richt to revitalize a program that has not had a 10-win season since 2003. A little more than a month into the job, Richt has already expunged all remnants of the previous regime. Not a single assistant coach from the Al Golden era remains on the team. The new staff assembled by Richt includes coaches who worked with him at the University of Georgia, a member of the famed Hurricanes 2001 national championship team and one of the top-position coaches in all of college football. Here’s a look at the new group of coaches tabbed by Richt.

Defensive Coordinator and Linebackers Coach: Manny Diaz

Taking over the defense is Miami native Manny Diaz, replacing Mark D’Onofrio. Per the Palm Beach Post, Diaz will also replace Hurlie Brown as linebackers coach. Diaz brings with him 18 years of coaching experience and an aggressive 4-3 defense to the Canes. An attacking 4-3 scheme with four down linemen and three linebackers was a hallmark of the great Hurricanes teams of the 1980s and early 2000s. Diaz last spent the 2015 season at Mississippi State, where his group held opponents to 23.2 points per game, five points better than Miami this year.

“I’m not concerned about being tricky and all that kind of stuff,” Diaz said in a radio interview on WQAM on Tuesday. “We’ve got to stop the run at a much higher level … and just see who can be responsible for holding the point and attacking the line of scrimmage and make teams have to beat us left-handed.” This style is a total reverse of the defense run by D’Onofrio, which was a more reaction-based system. Stopping the run and pressuring the quarterback are the top priorities of this defense, so it’s paramount to have the defensive linemen capable of implementing the scheme.

Defensive Line Coach: Craig Kuligowski

That won’t be a problem with Craig Kuligowski replacing Randy Melvin. Coach “Kool” is arguably the top defensive line coach in the country and has the accolades to prove it. While at the

University of Missouri for the last 15 seasons, Kuligowski coached 24 players to all-conference honors, 10 of them since 2010. He’s produced four first-round picks since 2009. The winners of the SEC Defensive Player of the Year award in 2013 and 2014? Both coached by Kuligowski. Miami has struggled recently on the defensive line despite possessing highly talented players. That shouldn’t be the case anymore with Kuligowski at the helm.

Safeties Coach: Ephraim Banda

Ephraim Banda is in charge of Miami’s safeties. Banda spent the 2015 season as a defensive assistant under Diaz at Mississippi State. In 2015, the Bulldogs led the country in fewest pass plays of 20-plus yards allowed with just 24 for the season.

Cornerbacks Coach: Mike Rumph

Former Hurricane and member of the 2001 national championship team Mike Rumph will handle the team’s cornerbacks. Rumph spent the last three seasons coaching at Broward County powerhouse American Heritage High School in Plantation. Heritage won the state championship in 2013 and 2014, becoming the second school in Broward County history to win back-to-back titles. Coming in as one of the top local high school coaches, Rumph will further help Richt recruit the South Florida area. Rumph and Banda replace Paul Williams, who oversaw all defensive backs for Miami last season.

Co-offensive Coordinator and Running Backs Coach: Thomas Brown

Richt brought in Thomas Brown, who spent the 2015 season coaching running backs at Georgia, to oversee Miami’s running game. Brown replaces Tim “Ice” Harris, a local high school coaching legend, who spent the last two seasons at UM. Under Brown last season, sophomore Sony Michel, who played for Rumph at Heritage, became the 13th Bulldog to rush for more than 1,000 yards with 1,076 yards on the ground. In 2014, Brown coached Heisman Trophy runnerup Melvin Gordon at Wisconsin. Gordon ran for the second-most yards in the history of college football that season, finishing with 2,587 rushing yards and 32 total touchdowns. Richt will call the plays on offense, but Brown is his No. 2 on that side of the ball.

Quarterbacks Coach: Jon Richt

Jon Richt, Mark Richt’s son, will serve as quarterbacks coach, according to the Palm Beach Post.

Former offensive coordinator James Coley handled the quarterbacks last season. Jon Richt spent

the 2015 season as an offensive assistant with the Buffalo Bills after spending a year as a quality control assistant at Georgia. Although Jon is the quarterbacks coach, Mark has stated since leaving Georgia that he wants to be more hands-on with his quarterbacks.

Wide Receivers Coach and Passing Game Coordinator: Ron Dugans

Florida native Ron Dugans will be in charge of wide receivers under Richt. Dugans takes over for former Cane Kevin Beard, a teammate of Rumph’s on the 2001 national championship squad. Dugans has 11 years of coaching experience, most recently spending the past two seasons at the University of South Florida. In 2014, wide receiver Andre Davis scored a then-school record seven touchdown catches for the Bulls. Prior to overseeing receivers at USF, Dugans spent three years as an assistant at Louisville, where he coached receiver DeVante Parker, the most recent first-round pick of the Miami Dolphins.

Offensive Line Coach: Stacy Searels

Stacy Searels replaces a legendary Cane, Art Kehoe, as offensive line coach. Searels previously coached offensive lines at Virginia Tech, Texas, Georgia and Louisiana State University. The former All-America offensive lineman at Auburn spent the 2007-10 seasons with Richt at Georgia.

Tight Ends Coach and Special Teams Coordinator: Todd Hartley

Another carryover from Georgia, Todd Hartley takes control of tight ends and special teams, the two groups previously handled by Larry Scott and Golden, respectively. Hartley previously served as the director of player personnel at Georgia. Before going to Georgia, Hartley served as safeties coach, tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator between the 2011 and 2013 seasons at Marshall University.

Team surpasses projections by season midpoint

No. 8 Canes gear up for deep postseason run

T

he BankUnited Center has been sold out game after game this year, and for good reason.

The men’s basketball team has had an impressive season thus far.

Head Coach Jim Larrañaga’s squad came into the year with high expectations.

The team has met them to this point, starting off the season with a record of 13-2 and a top-10 ranking. The No. 8 Canes have played unselfish basketball and clearly have adopted the concept of “wins over statistics.”

Miami had key victories early on, particularly over then-No. 16 Utah and thenNo. 22 Butler in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off. The team also has quality victories over Florida and Syracuse as well.

The Canes’ only losses have come from Northeastern on a heartbreaking buzzer-beater and No. 13 Virginia on Tuesday night.

The seniors have led the way on this team just as they were expected to do. Redshirt senior guard Sheldon McClellan is Miami’s top scorer, averaging 16.1 points a game while shooting more than 53 percent from the field and 87 percent from the free-throw line.

Senior center Tonye Jekiri is averaging about the same number of points,

blocks and rebounds as last season, but his field goal percentage has shot up to a career-high 58.4 percent. While already the team’s defensive anchor and leading rebounder, Jekiri has improved his scoring touch around the basket and his mid-range jump shot.

Redshirt senior guard Angel Rodriguez has done well facilitating the offense and is shooting 41 percent from the field, a career-high mark.

Senior forward Ivan Cruz Uceda is not starting, but he continues to affect the game when his team needs him the most. When he is on the floor, he has arguably been the Canes’ most lethal three-point shooter. Uceda is shooting a career-high 54.1 percent from the field and

a deadly 49.1 percent from three-point range. He has also improved his defense, which was once a glaring weakness of his.

Miami has benefited from its depth, often having multiple players from the starting lineup and the bench score in double figures.

Sophomore guard Ja’Quan Newton has played a pivotal role in Miami’s success, averaging over 11 points a game and shooting 52 percent coming off the bench.

The Hurricanes are poised to have their best season since the 2012-13 group that made it to the Sweet Sixteen if they continue to play at this level.

The Canes next face Clemson at 2 p.m. on Saturday in South Carolina.

s the college basketball season reaches its midway point, the Hurricanes have already torched preseason predictions. Coming into the season, the Canes (15-2, 3-1) were projected to finish sixth in the ACC and received just one vote in the AP poll.

Today, the No. 21 Hurricanes are the thirdhighest-ranked team in the ACC, behind No. 3 Notre Dame and No. 16 Florida State.

The Canes began the season winning their first 10 games, just two shy of matching the school record set by the 2003 team. The team’s first loss came at the hands of then-No. 4 Baylor in a tightly contested game.

The team’s early success could be attributed to a relatively easy strength of schedule. The Canes’ Rating Percentage Index (RPI) rank stands at 40, significantly lower than their AP poll ranking.

RPI is a ranking system that takes into account a team’s wins, losses and strength of schedule.

Miami’s matchup versus Baylor is the only time they have faced a ranked opponent this season. The Canes have

barely touched the tip of the iceberg in the powerful ACC and have only played four games in a conference that boasts five ranked teams.

Naismith Trophy Early Season Watch List selection Adrienne Motley leads the team.

The junior guard is the team’s most aggressive and consistent scorer, averaging 15.9 points per game. Junior Jessica Thomas and redshirt senior Michelle Woods, both returning starters from last year’s NCAA Tournament team, accompany Motley in the backcourt. Thomas has done a solid job running the point, totaling 62 assists on the season. She is also a pit bull on de-

fense, forcing opposing backcourts into committing turnovers.

Freshman Emese Hof took over the starting center position from sophomore Erykah Davenport 11 games into the season. Since then, Hof has done well controlling the paint, averaging 6.4 rebounds a game.

The Canes have had a strong season to this point and Head Coach Kate Meier’s squad should be able to make some noise in the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive year.

The Canes next face Wake Forest at 7 p.m. on Thursday at the BankUnited Center.

January 14 - January 20, 2016

Dear V, Over break, I spent time with family. Between curious aunts, prying cousins and my traditional, overbearing mother, I was grilled almost constantly on why I don’t have a boyfriend. Truth is, I have a friend with benefits who I’ve been seeing for a while. College is stressful and busy, so I don’t want a real relationship.

I tried to explain that there’s a guy I’m seeing and

we’re just not serious, but they wouldn’t listen. One of my aunts even sang “If you liked it then you should’ve put a ring on it,� and everyone joined in.

I’m happy with the way things are. I’m in college; I’m supposed to be having fun. I’m tired of my family making me the butt of a joke just because I’m not committed to someone.

How can I get my family off my case?

Sincerely, Tired of Questions Dear Tired of Questions, It’s your life – not your family’s – but hey, there’s nothing wrong with breaking out into a little BeyoncÊ.

If you’re satisfied with your friend-with-benefits situation,

THE MIAMI HURRICANE don’t change it up just because someone else told you it wasn’t enough. People have different views on relationships, and sometimes relatives give us their opinions when we weren’t asking for them.

Grin and bear the holiday break interrogations. We’re all hounded over our jobs, relationships, grades, diet, career goals ‌ you name it. This is just the one thing that your family has clung to.

Hey, at least be grateful that they can’t nag you about a dwindling GPA or an expanding waistband, right?

Next time your family pries about the guys in your life, keep the deets on the hush-hush. The less information you give them, the better. Maybe throw in “I’ve been asked out, but he wasn’t my type,� to keep them guessing. What you divulge is up to you.

DEAR V

For a more direct approach, reciprocate the question. When auntie asks where the boyfriend is, ask her why her third husband left.

That’ll shut her up right quick.

I kid, I kid! Just keep doing your thing and don’t worry about what the fam thinks. Sure, the Q&A can be annoying, but I guarantee that all of us are nagged about something around the Christmas tree when we head back home from school.

Maybe that’s why the eggnog keeps disappearing so quickly.

Be thankful that your family cares enough about you to ask, and let off some steam with your friend when you return from the holidays.

-V
