ON THE DAILY
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.

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.”
