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.
