support
of
undocumented
students on campus earlier this
year. DACA, as explained by the
resolution, allows immigrants
to
“apply
for
temporary
deferrals of deportations and
(for) work permits.”
“I just wanted to highlight
the
importance
of
this
resolution,”
Schafer
said
during the November meeting.
“I think it’s our job to stand in
support of our undocumented
students on this campus and
reaffirm their place in the
University of Michigan and
to show that CSG is here for
them.”
The administration has also
focused on several goals from
their campaign. Though they
haven’t fulfulled their full
campaign promise to create
a student regent position, the
assembly did strive to increase
transparency
between
the student body and the
University’s Board of Regents
by passing a resolution at
its first meeting to reinstate
student input into the board’s
bylaws in hopes of adding more
student perspective to board
decisions. In early September,
the board voted and passed a
bylaw to do so.
“That
bylaw
highlights
the
importance
of
student
input in University decision
making,” Schafer said during
the meeting. “To reiterate,
let’s not view this bylaw as the
final product but rather as a
foundation upon which more
specific efforts can be built
that match the spirit of this
bylaw.”
Other campaign initiatives
that targeted drinking and
wellness have also been at
least in part fulfilled. At the
beginning of the year, CSG
started off with plans to reduce
alcohol-related incidents on
game days by partnering with
the
Interfraternity
Council
to create hydration stations.
In early September, CSG also
hosted its third sober tailgate
in five years. LSA sophomore
Grant
Rivas,
CSG’s
chief
programming officer, said at
the time they served 350 pizzas
and 1,600 water bottles during
the event.
CSG also undertook mental
health initiatives. In October,
the student government sent
out a survey to University
faculty and students to gauge
their perspective of student
mental health. In addition,
Schafer launched the first-
ever mental health taskforce to
analyze data from the survey
and create initiatives resulting
from their research. According
to an interview with Schafer,
the taskforce is currently still
in its research stage.
Another prominent but not
unusual concern for the body
was their debate this semester
over a resolution that would
have called on the University
to
divest
its
investments
in
several
companies
that
allegedly commit human rights
violations against Palestinians.
The resolution, brought by
Students Allied for Freedom
and Equality, failed with 34 to
13. It has been brought to the
body unsuccesfully by SAFE
multiple times in the past
decade.
CSG’s
failure
to
pass
the
resolution
prompted
frustration
from
some
students, most notably at a
walkout on campus that drew
more than 1000 students. At
the event, some Palestinian
students
described
their
frustrations
with
the
student government over the
resolution, calling for more
solidarity from the body.
The question of advocacy
versus
lobbying
was
also
a major debate in one CSG
meeting, in which members
discussed
passing
the
resolution to show support
for activist Justin Cheong
from By All Means Necessary,
a
national
coalition
that
aims to defend affirmative
action, immigrant rights and
equality.
LSA senior Joey Hansel,
CSG student general counsel,
expressed concerns about the
resolution leading to legal
issues.
