Prof. urges
students to consider
possibility of
transporting disease
By MEGAN DOYLE
Daiily Staff Reporter
As
Spring
Break
quickly
approaches, University of Michi-
gan officials have expressed con-
cern about travel to areas affected
by the Zika virus.
Last week, the University issued
a warning for travelers from Rob-
ert Winfield, the University’s chief
health officer.
“As spring break approaches
and many U-M students, faculty
and staff are preparing to travel —
especially to destinations in South
and Central America, Mexico or
the Caribbean — I want to share
important information about the
Zika virus,” the warning read.
The travel warning referred
students to the Centers for Disease
Control and Preventionfor more
information. The CDC has issued a
Level 2 travel alert, meaning trav-
elers should “practice enhanced
precautions” in countries affect-
ed.” These countries include pop-
ular Spring Break destinations,
such as Mexico, the Caribbean, the
Pacific Islands and other countries
in Central and South America. As
such, the University has issued a
warning to students planning to
travel to impacted areas.
Zika
virus
outbreaks
have
additionally occurred in areas of
Africa, Southeast Asia, the Pacific
Islands and the Americas. Puerto
Rico documented its first case
of the Zika virus as recently as
December 2015.
Joseph Eisenberg, chair and
professor of epidemiology in the
School of Public Health, said very
little research has been done about
the Zika virus.
“We just don’t know a lot,”
Eisenberg said. “We want to err
on the side of everyone being safe,
and that’s the reason for the travel
warnings.”
According to the CDC, Zika
virus is spread primarily through
mosquito bites. Common symp-
toms include fever, rash, joint pain
and conjunctivitis or red eyes. The
illness is fairly mild, with symp-
toms lasting several days to a week,
but there is no known vaccine to
prevent it or medicine to treat it.
The concern for the interna-
tional epidemic, however, largely
comes in the risk for pregnant
women. Though the symptoms of
the virus are mild, Zika virus can
be spread from a pregnant woman
to her unborn baby, causing a
serious birth defect called micro-
cephaly. Microcephaly can impact
brain and skull development in
infants, which can lead to stillbirth
or death after a few hours.
Eisenberg noted that the conse-
quences of travel to areas that are
highly affected with Zika virus
could affect the larger community.
“One should be fully informed
of any kind of risk you take and not

LSA senior Cooper Charlton, Central Student Government president, speaks about executive matters at a CSG meeting in
the Michigan Union on Tuesday.
Body says it’s
moving forward on
release of data to
students
By ANNA HARITOS
Daily Staff Reporter
At their meeting Tuesday,
Central
Student
Government
addressed progress on a range of
both long-term issues, like course
evaluations, and new ones, such
as resource guide for undocu-
mented students.
Executive Communications
During his executive commu-
nications, CSG President Cooper
Charlton, an LSA senior, said the
body is working with faculty on
moving forward to release course
evaluations to students.
“There is progress being made
on course evaluations,” Charlton
said. “I’m very pleased with our
collaboration with faculty, spe-
cifically SACUA. Our representa-
tives are fighting hard for student
rights behind closed doors.”
The release of course evalu-
ations has been a hot topic for
the assembly since thisfall. After
an initial move by the Univer-
sity to release the evaluations
in October, faculty governance
expressed significant concern
about the impact of it, ultimately
voting to block the release later
that month. Before the vote took
place, University Provost Mar-
tha Pollack said she would be
willing to slow down the release
process if faculty continued to be
opposed to it.
Since
then,
Charlton
said
CSG has been working with the
administration and the Faculty
Senate to let students have access
to course evaluation data.
During his remarks, Charlton
also praised the fact the Univer-
sity Athletic Department said the
prices for football season tickets
for Fall 2016 will not increase
from the previous season.
“I’m excited to see the athletic
department’s
commitment
to
students,” he said. “Specifically
around student ticket prices. The
prices will not increase from last
year, which is a very strong vic-
tory for students.”
The
executive
committee
also updated the assembly on
its request for an advisory com-
mittee to preside over elections
to make sure everything goes
according to code as CSG’s elec-
tions draw nearer.
CSG counsel Jacob Pearlman,
Public Policy sophomore, said
that he had hired third-year law
student Nick Loukides as the
body’s assistant student general
counsel to help enforce the elec-
tion code. According to Pearl-
man, the position’s task is to file
complaints to the University
Elections Commission for viola-
tions to the election code.
The position holder will be
responsible for representing CSG
in election violation, and will
write amicus briefs, which the
body is defining as reports that
will be generated for each party
detailing the party’s perspective
on other election disputes.
The position is new this year,
and pays $18 an hour.
Resolutions
CSG voted to support the cre-
ation of an “Undocumented Stu-
dent Resource Guide,” an online
database to serve undocumented
students and to provide access to
