NEWS The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, February 23, 2005 - 7 LEO Continued from page 1 those matters is to be interpreted. At the rally, LEO campus chair Ian Robinson demanded that the University treat the lectur- ers with "sufficient respect," rather than provide excuses for their sluggish efforts. He also said he hoped the rally and picket would pressure the Uni- versity to act quickly, though he left open the pos- sibility of further labor agitation in April if LEO deems it necessary. LEO staged a one-day walkout last April when contract negotiations with the University failed. "The University wants to hold us to high stan- dards. We want to hold them to high standards as well," Robinson said. LEO has been demanding the criteria used when evaluating lecturers, as well as the list of lecturers who are to be reviewed this semester. LEO had requested that colleges within the University pro- vide them with the criteria by Feb. 1 and the list of lecturers up for performance review by Feb. 11, but the University ignored those requests because the deadlines were not in the contract. Some of the colleges, such as the College of Engineering and Residential College, have pro- vided LEO with necessary details, while others - including the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts - have not yet released the crite- ria, said Robinson. University spokeswoman Julie Peterson said several schools and colleges, including LSA, the Business School and the College of Engi- neering, have submitted their lists of lectur- ers to the University. She added that this week the University is in the process of sharing the names with LEO and contacting the lecturers who are up for review. "The University is trying to live up to the prin- ciples we agreed to in the contract, but as a practical matter we are finding it much more difficult than we anticipated. Still, we're continuing to work with both LEO and the academic units to move toward implementation," Peterson said. Another point of contention is the classifica- tion of lecturers. Last year's contract divided lecturers into four categories - those who are classified as Lecturer I or II are limited to instructional duties, with Lecturer II having more job security. Those with a III or IV des- ignation will have administrative duties in addi- tion to teaching, with Lecturer IV having more job security. Because Lecturer IV was added to the system last year, reclassification of some lec- turers has caused dissent among them. This classification system creates problems with job security and salary, said Pamela Bogart, a lec- turer in the English Language Institute. Bogart is currently classified as Lecturer II because of her involvement in the creation of new courses and development of workshops for the training of grad- uate student instructors. Bogart, however, is being reclassified as a Lecturer I, which prevents her from doing the administrative work that serves students and the University. "The five years I spent dedicated to the Univer- sity mean nothing," Bogart said. She added that the University's actions exploit lecturers because their previous work is not being adequately recognized or compensated. Last Wednesday, LEO members met with University Provost Paul Courant to voice their concerns about the University's refusal to meet suggested deadlines. LEO President Bonnie Halloran said the pro- vost took responsibility for the University's delay in meeting its contractual obligations and said he would get back to LEO about the colleges' progress in developing and providing criteria. Halloran said Courant failed to provide any updates by last Fri- day, as he had promised. "They make a lot of promises but nothing (has emerged). We remain hopeful, but deadlines are not being met and we are still waiting for information," Halloran said. Melinda Matice, an ELI lecturer, said she hopes the University takes yesterday's rally as a sign that LEO will not back away from its cause. "We are not going to wait another six months. (The University is) months and months behind. This is the first step in responding to the slow prog- ress and minimal efforts," Matice said. HAZING Continued from page 1 Education and Development model. "The Statement of Student Rights and Responsibilities is but one of (the) many educational tools we have on campus that teaches what it means to live in and contrib- ute to a community," OSCR Director Keith Elkin said. "In this case, the Community Education and Development Plan provides the most optimal opportunity for teaching and learn- ing, focusing on core University values." Elkin said the CED incorporates various goals for the improvement and development of leadership skills, new member education and risk management education and that national and alumni groups and numerous offices in the Division of Student Affairs are involved with each Greek organization. "The Community Education and Devel- opment Plan represents a process grounded in teaching and learning, facilitated by a broad coalition of students and staff," Elkin said. "Each organization has been working within this coalition to identify individual action plans that best meets their needs." The new leadership of the Interfrater- nity Council and the Panhellenic Associa- tion, which took over at the beginning of the semester, has consistently reiterated its commitment to eliminating hazing in the Greek community but says it recognizes that hazing is a complex issue. "Hazing is by no means a problem that is going to be solved overnight, nor do we know the exact formula that will cease haz- ing on campus," said IFC Vice President of Public Relations Jon Krasnov. "Clearly, hazing has been a priority for previous administrations, as it has been significantly curbed in recent years, but we will continue to work ... toward creating a more effective proactive approach toward ending hazing in Greek houses," he said. "The IFC execu- tive board has made it clear to houses that we are here to help them - to help lead the community (and) to help all of our houses move forward as individual chapters as well as a whole." Panhel spokeswoman Lindsey Fediuk said next year the Panhellenic Association will work to educate leaders of the Greek community on all forms of hazing as well as how to stop the practice of hazing prior to the recruitment of new members. In addi- tion, there will be a new anti-hazing cam- paign intended to increase use of the hazing hotline in the fall. "Harsher sanctions and punitive mea- sures levied by the Greek Activities Review Panel we hope will further curtail hazing activities," Fediuk added, "as well as dis- courage repeat offenses in the future." Fediuk and Krasnov also said that both IFC and Panhel welcomed the opportunity to work in conjunction with the University and the Office of Student Conflict Resolu- tion in the effort to eradicate hazing at the University, although the Greek community's Hazing Task Force and the Greek Activi- ties Review Panel are intended to promote autonomy for the community through self- governance. Alex Feldman, president of Sigma Nu - one of the fraternities found guilty of hazing by the University - said that the fraternity's leadership has been meeting regularly with OSCR and other Univer- sity personnel in a proactive attempt to strengthen the chapter and its relationship with the University. "We have always been a nonhazing fra- ternity, and we will continue to remain a nonhazing fraternity, but we are working with the University in other realms to make our fraternity more active and more suc- cessful," Feldman said. Another fraternity punished as a result of the hazing investigation was Zeta Beta Tau. ZBT President Joshua Banschick said the chapter has taken an active approach in dealing with the hazing allegations since the investigation began last October. "We began by clarifying the initial base- less claims and false allegations, and then continued to deal with the truth. I set up meetings with our National Executive Direc- tor and the Assistant Director of Greek Life John Duncan for support and guidance in dealing with our situation," Banschick said. "After these meetings, our executive board was prepared to improve ZBT internally. We educated our membership on the details of hazing - its legal consequences, as well as its especially wide breadth." Banschick also said that in an effort to prevent hazing from occurring again within ZBT, he and two other members of ZBT attended meetings with OSCR to develop the CED model. In addition, Banschick said he feels that ZBT's punishment as a result of the hazing investigation is appropriate and will ultimately be beneficial to the fraternity in helping them achieve their impending goals. "ZBT will work with the IFC and the University in the same fashion as it has all year. We will remain active and closely tied to both organizations," Banschick said. "In fact, I believe this whole process has helped strengthen the relationship between ZBT and both the IFC and the University." MSA Continued from page 1 disappointed with the second revision because its members felt the resolution lost some of its power. "It's still important that (the resolution) passed because it's significant that this student government supports the Coke- Campaign Coalition," RC Junior Ashwini Hardikar, co-chair of MSA's Peace and Jus- tice Commission, said, "I am disappointed that we chose to tone down the language." The resolution was divided into two parts; the first dealt with whether MSA believed in the allegations brought against Coca-Cola, a measure that the assembly approved. Hardikar described the vote as a victory for the coalition. "The first resolution that confirmed Coke's violations was passed without any changes, putting the student government in solidarity with the people of Colombia and India," Hardikar said. Because students have protested and complained about Coca-Cola, Purchasing Services at the University has started a formal investigation. It is currently gath- ering information to present a recom- mendation to the Dispute Review Board, which is composed of students, faculty and staff. The Dispute Review Board will make a recommendation to the University's executive vice president and to the chief financial officer. University spokeswoman Julie Peterson said the resolution would play a signifi- cant part in the overall decision to renew Coke's contract in June. Members of Purchasing have been gathering information from both sides of the issue, and have already met with Coca-Cola. Purchasing will meet with members of SOLE and the coalition today. Accordng to Peterson, Purchasing will take MSA's resolution into serious consideration when advising the Dispute Review Board. "It's important for purchasing and the review board to understand students' opinions on this issue," Peterson said. "What's important is that the student assembly has unanimously supported student groups who are pursuing justice on the Coca-Cola issue," said RC junior Ryan Bates, co-chair of MSA's Peace and Justice commission. - Megan Zeller contributed to this report. LEVIN Continued from page 1 United States will get out of Iraq. "We need to help create an army, police and national guard that's Iraqi," Levin said. "We can help train, but we cannot secure Iraq. Another thing that I believe strongly we can do is change that dynamic. The choice is to either leave - which I don't think we can do now - or to enter into an agreement with a sovereign Iraqi government, so that we're there like we are in South Korea." Levin voted against the joint congressional resolution that authorized Bush to use military force to disarm Iraq in 2002. Levin sponsored an amendment to the bill that would have required Bush to get United Nations authorization or prove to Congress that Iraq was an imminent threat before he could attack Iraq. The amendment was defeated 77 to 24. "I thought the president's arrogance, cockiness and lack of planning for the aftermath were huge mistakes that cost us dear- ly," Levin said. The Michigan senator also addressed the electoral strategy of the Democratic Party -which lost last November's presidential election and lost seats in two consecutive congressional elections. Levin said the party must change the way it talks about values and social issues but not shed its beliefs. "What we have to do as Democrats is focus our appeal to people's needs. Keep focusing on what matters in people's lives. At the same time we address the so-called wedge issues. I believe we should address wedge issues honestly. I don't believe we can hedge on whether a woman has the right to choose," Levin said. the michigan daily MAY-MAY, NICE 2 bdrm., hardwood floor $600 GROUP FUNDRAISER ENTHUSIASTIC & ENERGETIC people apt, $850.426S.
