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. CSG From Page 1 Read more online at michigandaily.com
