TWITTER TALK

ON K A SICH

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
