COLEMAN
From Page 1A
As partofthe contract, the Board
of Regents laid out seven primary
goals for Coleman to address over
the remaining years of her contract.
Among them, the regents
have asked Coleman to continue
strengthening the University's
academic mission and developing
financial policies that will preserve
the fiscal health of the University.
During her tenure at the Univer-
sity, Coleman worked with other
University officials to eliminate
$135 million inrecurring costs from
the general fund budget in order to
reallocate money to higher prior-
ity projects. Additionally, Coleman
has called for an additional $100
million to be eliminated from the
budget by 2012 and another $120
million by 2017.
At the same time, Coleman led
a faculty hiring initiative aimed at
increasing the number of interdis-
ciplinary faculty and programs at
the University. Coleman allocated
enough money in the University's
budget for the current year to hire
an additional 50 junior faculty
members.
The regents also requested that
Coleman work to improve campus
facilities like student housing and
to grow and strengthen the Uni-
versity of Michigan Health Sys-
tem. In addition, they asked that
Coleman create a leadership plan
that includes developing strong
candidates for leadership positions
throughout the University.
Coleman spearheaded phase one
of a residence life initiative that led
to the renovation of several resi-
dence halls on campus. Officials in
the administration have told The
Michigan Daily that the second
phase of the project is currently
being planned.
Additionally, Coleman played
a major role in planning and over-
seeing the construction of the new
C.S. Mott Children's and Von Voigt-
lander Women's Hospital, which is
set to open in November 2011 - a
year ahead of schedule.
Coleman is also to develop plans
for the University's next capital
campaign. The last University-
wide capital campaign ended in
2008 under Coleman's leadership,
when the University set an all-time
record for the most money raised in
a single capital campaign by a pub-
lic university - $3.2 billion.
Coleman's early career at the
University is often defined by her
role in the two admissions lawsuits
that went before the U.S. Supreme
Court in 2003, less than one year
after Coleman took over. The case
forced the University to modify
it's undergraduate admissions cri-
teria, which gave additional points
to underrepresented minority
applicants in a numerical evalua-
tion process, but reinforced a pro-
cess used by the University's Law
School where ethnicity was one of
many factors considered in admis-
sions.
Speaking at the meeting after her
contract extension was approved,
Coleman thanked the regents and
executive officers for their support.
"I can't imagine working with a
better group of people," Coleman
said. "I look forward to the next
four years. It's been a great expe-
rience and it's going to be a great
experience going forward."
In an interview following the
meeting, Coleman echoed that sen-
timent, saying the University is the
best place she's ever had the privi-
lege to work.
"I love this place and I love the
work I'm doing and the fact that I
can doit for an additional two years
is terrific," Coleman said.
Asked whether she planned to
retire after her new contract ended
in July 2014, Coleman said she
hasn't made any final decisions yet.
"I don't know what I'm doing
yet," Coleman said of her retire-
ment. "I think for me, I'm very
excited for the next four years."
In an interview following yester-
day's meeting, Ora Pescovitz, the
University's executive vice presi-
dent for medical affairs, said she
was "delighted" and "thrilled" that
Coleman will be leading the Uni-
versity for another four years.
"It's great news for the entire
faculty and staff of the University,"
Pescovitz said.
University Provost Philip Han-
lon echoed Pescovitz's sentiment
in a separate interview after yester-
day's meeting. '
"I'm thrilled," Hanlon said of
Coleman's contract extension.
"She's a president at the top of her
game and I'm privileged to be able
to work for her and watch her in
action and learn from her."
Hanlon added, "She's an out-
standing leader for the University."
Other University officials,
including Regent Andrea Fischer
Newman (R-Ann Arbor) and E.
Royster Harper, vice president for
student affairs, said they were also
extremely pleased with the con-
tract extension.
"She's just a dream boss,"
Harper said in an interview. "The
leadership she's providing is phe-
nomenal."
ELECTIONS
From Page 1A
reported that they were unable
to vote and instead had to cast
exception ballots.
In addition to extending the
election for 24 hours, ITS plans
to contact Nursing students to
explain the error and provide
instructions for how to vote,
according to Deshpande's e-mail.
Deshpande added that officials
will vet any exception ballots
cast by Nursing students, and if
the ballots are shown to be valid,
then they'll be counted. In addi-
tion, Nursing students who cast
their ballots won't be able to do so
again.
In an interview last night,
Deshpande said he is working
with ITS to get an accurate pro-
jection of the number of student
voters. He said the large crop of
exception ballots made it difficult
to determine the total number of
voters.
In the student government
election in March, 14 percent of
the student body cast ballots. Last
November, 9 percent of students
voted.
As of 11:59 p.m. night, 11.9 per-
cent - or 2,290 students - voted
in the LSA Student Government
elections. Of the 6,023 Engineer-
ing students who were eligible to
vote in the University of Michi-
gan Engineering Council election,
814 students voted. of the 8,005
eligible Rackham student voters,
583 voted in the Rackham Student
Government. However, because
of the Nursing School and excep-
tion ballots issue, Deshpande said
overall voter turnout for the elec-
tion isn't available yet.
While MSA, LSA-SG, UMEC
and RSG have not collaborated in
previous elections, the governing
bodies worked together this elec-
tion cycle in an attempt to sig-
nificantly increase student voter
turnout.
Rather than promoting one spe-
cific student government election,
MSA, LSA-SG, UMEC and RSG
urged students to vote through
Facebook, e-mails and posting fly-
ers around campus.
Last night, 32 representatives
were elected to MSA.
The majority of candidates
for LSA representatives to MSA
came from the Defend Affirma-
tive Action Party, MForward and
Michigan Vision Party. Eleven
candidates ran under the Defend
Affirmative Action Party, 10 can-
didates ran under the MForward
and six candidates ran under the
Michigan Vision Party.
In the MSA all campus elec-
tion, LSA senior Rebecca Egler
of MForward was elected to fill
the open position on the DPS
Oversight Committee, accord-
ing to unofficial results. The DPS
Oversight Committee reviews
grievances filed against the
Department of Public Safety.
Five students campaigned for
the position including LSA senior
Cory Smith as the Serious Busi-
ness Party candidate, Egler as the
MForward candidate and inde-
pendent candidates LSA freshman
Christina Beckman, LSA sopho-
more David Baird and School of
Public Health graduate student
Katherine Murkowski.
This is the second student-wide
election for the position. In previ-
ous years, MSA appointed student
representatives to the position,
but after an investigation by The
Michigan Daily last year found
the appointment procedure in
violation of a state statute, MSA
revised its election process.
In the LSA-SG election, 16
undergraduate students ran to fill
the 10 open representative spots.
UMEC also elected 10 represen-
tatives to the council. According
to unofficial results, Engineering
senior Kunal Mehta was elected
president of the UMEC and Engi-
neering sophomore Claire Martin
was elected vice president.
In the RSG election, 13 candi-
dates were elected.
