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.”
