‘U’ president
encourages difficult
conversations for
diversity reforms
By BRIAN KUANG
Daily Staff Reporter
At Tuesday’s Central Student
Government meeting, University
President Mark Schlissel spoke
about several ways he hoped
to open an inclusive campus
dialogue on topics such as race
and diversity at the University
during his tenure.
During his remarks to the
assembly, Schlissel stressed the
importance of not only diversity
of students on campus, but also
diversity of student opinions,
saying
students
should
be
exposed to opinions they don’t
necessarily agree with.
“A
significant
fraction
of
students make it through their
four or five years of undergrad
without really taking advantage
of
this
once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity to learn from each
other,” Schlissel said. “I’m going
to make an effort in the coming
years
to
very
purposefully
provoke
difficult
discussions
and invite speakers that you’ll
protest.”
During a hearing later in
the
meeting
confirming
his
appointment as chair of the
Campus Inclusion Commission,
LSA junior Kendall Poindexter
drew on Schlissel’s statements
in his support for differing
perspectives and backgrounds on
campus.
“While nobody likes conflict,
by hearing different viewpoints
everybody is able to learn from
one another, especially if they’re
willing to hear it,” Poindexter
said.
In December, the Campus
Inclusion
Commission
was
disbanded following the sudden
resignation of all 11 commission
members
after
the
previous
chair
was
terminated.
The
current membership status of the
commission is not known.
Resolutions
At Tuesday’s meeting, the
body brought four resolutions to
the floor discussing the creation
of a centralized web resource
for
undocumented
students,
refurbishment of the mental
health services department as
part of the upcoming Union
renovations and a resolution
to
rename
the
Biomedical
Science Research Building after
University
President
Emerita
Mary Sue Coleman.
A
resolution
authored
by
LSA juniors David Schafer and
Anushka
Sarkar
noted
that
though the University financial
aid website has resources for
undocumented students, there
is no centralized online page for
all other available resources for
undocumented students, and that
other universities — including the
University of Southern California
— have similar webpages.
If enacted, this resolution
would create an “Undocumented
Student Resource Guide” tab
on the CSG website with links
to relevant legal services and
student support networks.
CSG also heard a resolution
calling for their endorsement of
the renaming of the biological
sciences building after former
University President Mary Sue
Coleman.
The resolution — authored
by LSA sophomore Nicholas
Fadanelli, LSA senior Michael
Chrzan, LSA junior Stephen
Halperin, CSG vice president,
LSA junior Yong-Joon Kim and
LSA
senior
Reid
Klootwyk,
LSA Student Government vice
president — notes Coleman’s
significant contributions as an
academic
and
administrator,
and that there is a precedent for
former University presidents to
have a building named after them.
The resolution further says no
buildings on campus are named
after women, and that women
are
greatly
underrepresented
in scientific fields. Coleman is a
biochemist.
Though CSG lacks the authority
to actually rename the building, if
the resolution is passed, the body
will officially endorse doing so
and will actively lobby members
of the University administration
and the University’s Board of
Regents on the issue.
LSA-SG
passed
a
similar
resolution on Jan. 28.
An additional resolution was
heard by CSG about using the
body’s resources to send aid
to the city of Flint, though it
was found unfeasible due to a
University policy policing the
use of funds generated by student
organizations.
“University
guidelines
prohibit University money to go
into charity use,” Public Policy
sophomore Jacob Pearlman, CSG
legal counsel, said.
In
the
bylines
stipulating
money management by student
organizations through the Office
of Campus Involvement, the
assembly is unable to donate
funds for resources for Flint.
Thirteen years after O’Connor
delivered her landmark opin-
ion, Gill said issues of diver-
sity
and
inclusion
are
still
impacting students. He urged
audience members to take initia-
tive in addressing these issues.
“It’s still an issue,” he said.
“Guess who’s taking the battle
now? It’s your battle.”
When asked by an audience
member about reconciling social
justice efforts with academics
and other educational or personal
activities, Gill said he didn’t bal-
ance the two very well, noting
that he had to put his activism on
hold once he went to law school.
He also shared his experience
as an undergraduate student at
the University, describing his
time on campus as one of the best
decisions he has ever made, as
well as several stories of individu-
als who have inspired him to suc-
ceed in life.
Gill was appointed the Univer-
sity of Akron’s first associate vice
president for inclusion and equity
and the chief diversity officer in
2008 after its creation to facilitate
diversity initiatives with recruit-
ment on their campus.
He cited former Jon Onye
Lockard in particular as being
influential in his life, saying he
was inspired by how Lockard got
involved in initiatives of social
activism.
Lockard was a muralist who
drew on African influences in his
paintings and a faculty member
at the University and Washtenaw
Community College from 1970
until his death in 2015. While at
the University, Lockard co-found-
ed the Society for the Study of
African Culture and Aesthetics.
“He was the reason I was suc-
cessful here,” Gill said, noting
that Lockard was the senior art
advisor for the Martin Luther
King Jr. memorial.
Gill said his inspiration for the
title of Tuesday night’s lecture, “If
We Don’t Tell Them, They Won’t
Know,” was derived from a song
Lockard would play at the begin-
ning of every lecture, the Three
Mo’ Tenors’ “Let Them Hear
You.”
Discussing his own involve-
ment at the University, Gill
highlighted his appointment as
resident director of his floor in
South Quad. According to Gill, a
panel of housing employees ini-
tially denied him the job because
he was Black. Gill successfully
sued the University and after a
more selective committee was
appointed to review his candida-
cy, he received the job.
He said being a resident direc-
tor at South Quad Residence Hall-

Beyoncé announces fundraiser for
Flint water crisis as part of tour
Amid a Super Bowl perfor-
mance and the announcement
of her world tour, Beyoncé has
found time for the children of
Flint.
The singer announced today
she will hold a benefit to raise
funds for children in Flint as
part of her Formation World
Tour, according to a statement
on Live Nation Entertainment’s
website.
“True to her life’s work of
always giving back, fans will
be given the opportunity to
participate in Beyoncé’s #Bey-
GOOD initiative supporting
local United Way programs and
the continued work surround-
ing the water crisis in Flint,
Michigan,” the statement says.
The announcement comes
a day after Beyonce debuted
her new single Formation dur-
ing the halftime show of Super
Bowl 50.
After Flint switched its water
supply to the Flint River in
April 2014, the water was con-
taminated with lead for multiple
months due to leakages from
corroded water pipes. Flint offi-
cials, Gov. Rick Snyder (R ) and
President Barack Obama have
since declared a state of emer-
gency in the city. The crisis has
spurred health concerns and
has garnered national outrage,
with protests calling for Sny-
der’s resignation for allegedly
mishandling the situation.
According to the statement,
Beyoncé will partner with
United Way and the Community
Foundation of Greater Flint to
raise funds aimed at addressing
long term impacts of the water
crisis such as education, nutri-
tion and health.
The artist has joined the
ranks of other celebrities that
have pledged to aid residents
impacted by the water crisis
including P. Diddy, Mark Wahl-
berg and Cher.
