HAILEY MCLAUGHLIN/Daily

Nicholas Mirzoeff, professor of media, culture, and 
Communication at New York University, discusses the role 
protest performance has played in the #BlackLivesMatter 
movement in Angell Hall Monday. 

Central Student 

Government hopefuls are 
looking to members of the 
University of Michigan football 
team to help them gain student 
support ahead of campus-wide 
elections Wednesday and 
Thursday.

Both newMICH and Your 

Michigan have released video 
endorsements, from freshman 
safety Jabrill Peppers, a LSA 
sophomore, and junior tight 
end Jake Butt, a LSA junior, 
respectively. Each of their video 
endorsements have received 
more than 3,000 views from 
Facebook users. 

In his endorsement, Peppers 

echoed newMICH’s platform 
to reform CSG, and said he 
intended to vote for the party’s 
executive ticket —presidential 
candidate David Schafer and 
vice presidential candidate 
Micah Griggs, both LSA juniors 
— in the upcoming election.

During the campaign, 

Schafer and Griggs have 

stressed fostering a more 
inclusive environment on 
campus by creating a leadership 
scholarship for low-income 
students, increasing funding for 
Counseling and Psychological 
Services and the Sexual Assault 
Prevention and Awareness 
Center and putting a student 
on the University’ Board of 
Regents. 

“It’s time for a Central 

Student Government that is 
inclusive, representative and 
productive,” Peppers said.

In his endorsement, Butt 

had a similar message about 
Your Michigan, saying that the 
party represented student voice. 

Your Michigan has also 

heavily emphasizes increasing 
support for SAPAC, as well 
as improving mental health 
resources on campus. Led by 
Ford junior Thomas Hislop and 
LSA junior Cam Dotson — who 
are vying for president and vice 
president respectively — the 
party also has a slate of other 

initiatives, including creating a 
team of trained volunteers who 
will transport students from 
North to Central Campus who 
are in need of counseling from 
CAPS.

“This is your time, your 

voice, your Michigan,” Butt said.

The third party with an 

executive ticket, the Defend 
Affirmative Action Party, led by 
presidential candidate Keysha 
Wall, an LSA junior and vice 
presidential candidate Chalse 
Okorom, an LSA sophomore, 
have not announced an 
endorsement from a member of 
the football program. On their 
public Facebook group, DAAP 
states their platform is to double 
minority enrollment at the 
University and to build a new 
civil rights movement with the 
spirit of Ferguson.

The Michigan football team 

as a whole does not endorse any 
party vying for CSG executive 
office.

Sara Ahbel-Rappe, professor of Greek and Latin, campaigns for a seat on the Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs at Palmer Commons Monday.

ROLE OF PROTESTS

Senate Assembly votes to add new members 
to SACUA to fill up to six open positions

Number of seats 

available still unclear 

for term-blind 

election

By ISOBEL FUTTER

Daily Staff Reporter

The Senate Assembly voted 

on new members to replace up to 
six open positions on the Senate 
Advisory Committee on University 
Affairs at their meeting Monday.

The 10 nominees included 

Classical Studies Prof. Sara Ahbel-
Rappe, Engineering Prof. Michael 
Atzmon, Radiology Prof. Ruth 
Carlos, University of Michigan 
Librarian Beau Case, Kinesiology 
Prof. Weiyun Chen, Bob Fraser, 
UM-Dearborn 
Librarian, 

Medical School Prof. Paul Kileny, 
Chemistry 
Prof. 
Neil 
Marsh, 

Social Work Prof. Robert Ortega 
and Engineering Prof. Bill Schulz.

At the last Senate Assembly 

meeting, the assembly voted 
unanimously to hold a term-blind 
election, meaning the candidates 
would not be associated with the 
term length then want to have. 
Instead, nominees were ranked 

by number of votes received. The 
person who received the most 
votes will serve for the longest 
term they are willing to hold, at 
a maximum of three years. The 
next candidate with the most 
votes also got their choices, given 
there is an available position, and 
so on.

The candidates in order of 

most votes were Schulz, Atzman, 
Carlos, Marsh and Ortega tied 
for fourth, Fraser, Kileny, Ahbel-
Rappe, Case and Chen.

As of now, there are four slots 

open for candidates. However, 
SACUA 
Chair 
Silke-Maria 

Weineck and SACUA member 
Stefan 
Szymanski, 
Sports 

Management prof., may also be 
vacating their positions due to 
sabbaticals, so up to six positions 
may be available.

Because Marsh and Ortega are 

tied for fourth, this may lead to a 
runoff election at the next Senate 
Assembly, unless Weineck and 
Szymanski step down as well. If 
not, Marsh and Ortega will have to 
face off in a second vote.

Weineck said the assembly will 

know if another vote is needed at 
their next meeting on April 18.

The next steps for the nominees 

are to choose term lengths and 

fill the positions in order of votes 
received. This process will be 
completed when Weineck and 
Szymanski finalize each of their 
plans regarding their positions on 
the committee.

Before the vote took place, 

candidates 
discussed 
their 

platforms with many saying they 
felt the role of faculty governance 
on campus needed to be changed.

“We need to remind our 

administrators of our values,” 
Atzman said.

Third-place candidate Carlos 

echoed 
Atzman’s 
sentiments 

and said she did not feel that the 
University provides the faculty 
with 
enough 
power, 
instead 

leaving them in an explicitly 
advisory role.

“We do not have a strong 

tradition of centralized practice in 
the University,” Carlos said.

Marsh 
said 
he 
felt 

administrators 
treat 
faculty 

as employees and one of his 
initiatives on the committee would 
be to change this dynamic.

“More and more, there are 

administrators who see faculty as 
not being citizens of academy, as 
essentially being employees to be 
managed,” Marsh said.

Schulz, who currently serves on 

SACUA, said administration will 
not give SACUA what they want: 
more governing power.

“We have peers that have much 

stronger faculty governance than 
us and that’s not been a recent 
phenomenon,” Schulz said. “We’ve 
always been weak, we’ve been 
more advisory than a real player in 
shared governance.”

In addition to elections, Weineck 

also updated the Senate Assembly 
on 
the 
Faculty 
Governance 

conference that happened last 
week. The conference hosted 
faculty governances from across 
the country to discuss topics 
such as due process protections, 
Title IX, academic freedom and 
the role of faculty members in 
higher education. The conference 
also 
hosted 
Northwestern 

Communications 
Prof. 
Laura 

Kipnis, who delivered her lecture 
titled “Stupid Sex.”

Overall, 
Weineck 
said 

the conference shed light on 
weaknesses in the University’s 
current system.

“The University of Michigan has 

the weakest faculty governance 
system of any of the students we 
talked to,” Weineck said. “Our role 
is almost entirely advisory, with 
very few decision making powers.”

proposal to include a street 
and sidewalk millage on the 
upcoming August municipal 
election ballot.

Councilmember Chip Smith 

(D–Ward 5), a sponsor of the 
resolution, noted that the 
current millage for street and 
sidewalk expires in November, 
emphasizing the importance 
of continuing to fund road 
repairs.

“Also, I think it is worth 

noting how important the 
sidewalks millage component 
is — we put in over 22,000 
slabs of sidewalk since this was 
first passed by voters,” Smith 
said. “I think this is a really 
elemental tool to making our 
streets and sidewalks better 
— keeping them up to the 
standard we expect.”

Councilmember 
Sabra 

Briere (D–Ward 1) said she 
she thought it was crucial 
that the resolution appear 
on the August primary ballot 
as opposed to the November 
ballot. Though there will be 

a lot of people voting in the 
November 
election, 
Briere 

said the new implementation 
of straight-party voting in that 
election will mean a lengthy 
ballot that may overwhelm 
voters.

“August 
however 
is 
a 

primary,” Briere said. “It’s 
focused 
on 
local 
issues; 

there will be most likely 
other initiatives on the ballot 
that are also focus on local 
initiatives.”

Councilmember 
Chuck 

Warpehoski 
(D–Ward 
5) 

expressed 
some 
concerns 

over current restrictions on 
millage funds.

“I support the resolution as 

written because it will allow 
us if we so choose to have 
flexibility in terms of how the 
millage funds would be used,” 
Warpehoski said. “Right now 
it is difficult to use millage 
funds to address things like our 
ability to put in handicapable 
accessible 
ramps, 
improve 

crosswalks or fill sidewalk 
gaps — key features that all of 
our community use — and my 
hope is that when the millage 
is passed we will have some of 
that additional flexibility.”
