LSA-SG passes resolution to
support BSU efforts in Flint
$6,000 also
allocated to SAPAC
budget at weekly
meeting
By CAMY METWALLY
Daily Staff Reporter
LSA Student Government
passed
several
resolutions
at
a
meeting
Wednesday
night focusing on community
outreach and inclusivity.
“We’re
really
beginning
to make a difference and
beginning to make a lot of
change on campus, ” LSA-SG
President Jason Colella, an
LSA senior, said. “And that’s
really heartening and makes
me proud to be in SG tonight.”
In response to the Flint
water crisis, LSA-SG passed a
resolution which authorized
a $1,000 donation to deliver
clean water to the community.
The money will be transferred
from
the
Executive
Discretionary section of the
budget to the Black Student
Union. The BSU created a
GoFundMe account to buy and
distribute clean water to the
people of Flint.
LSA-SG treasurer Patrick
Mullan-Koufopoulos,
LSA
sophomore and co-sponsor of
the resolution, stressed the
importance of solidarity and
support.
“We do have a sister campus
in Flint,” Mullan-Koufopoulos
said.
“They’re
Wolverines.
They bleed blue just as much
as you and I do. They’re the
leaders and best just as much
as we are, and they’re in
crisis.”
Public Policy senior Hattie
McKinney, vice speaker of
BSU, spoke to LSA-SG prior
to voting. She said BSU plans
raise at least $10,000 to buy
water bottles and distribute
them in Flint.
McKinney
explained
that many of the minority
populations in Flint don’t feel
comfortable
with
officers
coming
to
their
doors,
stressing the importance of
student efforts in the city.
“We’re figuring out a way
to coordinate water donations
with our connections with the
schools,” McKinney said.
LSA-SG
plans
to
visit
Flint next Friday as well to
contribute to the cause.
“You’re
supporting
our
sister
campus,
you’re
supporting the students who
are there, you’re supporting
the people of the town and
really
you’re
just
making
the
stance
that
says,
‘as
Southeastern Michigan, we
stand together,’ ” LSA-SG
external relations officer Joey
Hansel, an LSA junior, said.
Supporting the immediate
campus as well, LSA-SG
passed a resolution to donate
$6,000 from the budget to
SAPAC. Of the total budget,
$2,000 will be allocated
toward three volunteer- and
peer-led support groups to
further
raise
awareness,
enhance
workshops
and
expand
events.
Another
$2,000 will fund a new event
SAPAC plans to host this
semester that will involve
other universities in the
state.
An allocation of $1,000
[COPY: they mention that
there is $6,000 going to
SAPAC, but only expand on
$5,000 of allocations] will be
made to a survivor care fund
aiming to provide survivors
with a greater sense of safety
and security — the money
can be used for hotel rooms, a
new phone and lock changes.
This money goes directly
to survivors, and Mullan-
Koufopoulos
stressed
the
importance of this program.
“I
wanted
to
make
sure we were making an
impact on campus,” Mullan-
Koufopoulos
said.
“And
something
Holly
Rider-
Milkovich said stuck with
me — she is the director of
SAPAC. She was talking about
how one in three females on
this campus will experience
an attempted sexual assault.”
LSA junior Laura Meyer,
SAPAC Networking, Publicity
and
Activism
program
coordinator, appreciated the
contribution and addressed
LSA-SG
Wednesday.
She
stressed that the donation
would
contribute
to
groundbreaking work.
“It’s difficult to quantify the
difference that an amount of
money this size is going to make
to what SAPAC does,” Meyer
said. “It really is going to make
a great amount of change.”
Meyer also mentioned that
more survivors are seeking
services, and to accommodate
the
increasing
demand,
SAPAC plans to hire a new
professional
staff
member.
She
said
the
increasing
demand for services is a result
of the greater accessibility
and awareness on campus.
Mullan-Koufopoulos asked
how LSA-SG can participate in
non-monetary ways. Speakers
mentioned
ally
training,
funding and participation in
SAPAC’s activism week in
April.
LSA-SG
also
passed
a
resolution in favor of naming
the new Biological Sciences
building
after
President
Emeritus Mary Sue Coleman.
LSA expects the construction
of the building to be completed
by Jan. 1, 2018.
LSA-SG noted that Coleman
and President Emeritus Lee
Bollinger are the only two
former University presidents
without buildings named after
them. It also highlights that
there are no campus academic
buildings solely named after
a
woman.
Acknowledging
the
underrepresentation
of
women in STEM fields, the
resolution supports naming
the building after Coleman.
Graduating
with
an
undergraduate
degree
in
chemistry and receiving a
doctorate
in
biochemistry,
Coleman was a woman in the
biomedical field. It further
outlines her qualifications and
contributions to the University.
The resolution recognizes
her
contributions
to
the
University, such as developing
greater
international
and
corporate
partnerships.
Numerous
initiatives
have
benefited
the
University,
such as her commitment to
expanding
sustainability
research.
Most of the members voted
in support of the resolution,
emphasizing the importance
of
such
a
resolution
in
furthering
inclusivity
on
campus.
However, LSA junior Yong-
Joon Kim pointed out that
some students on campus
expressed reservations about
naming
a
building
after
Coleman. While he was in
support of the resolution and
noted the importance of such
a vote in the representation
of women and inclusivity,
he said certain constituents
disapproved
of
Coleman’s
practices,
which
they
described as the “privatization
of the University.”
“I urge you to vote yes for
this resolution simply because
we are making history,” Kim
said. “This is very important
for diversity and inclusivity on
campus … I ask you to honor
people for the right things.”
