The University of Michigan’s
Central Student Government
hosted a Twitter town hall
Thursday afternoon, asking
students and other CSG
members to submit questions
to Regents Shauna Ryder Diggs
(D) and Andrea Newman (R) by
using the hashtag #AskARegent.
Many of the questions
touched on campus concerns
that have risen over the past few
weeks, including racist and anti-
Semitic emails, crime alerts
and President Donald Trump’s
recent executive orders halting
immigration on several Muslim-
majority countries.
Several questions pertained
to tuition at the University.
Currently, it costs lower-
division students $7,037 for
undergrad — an increase from
the 2015-2016 school year’s
$6,764 2014-2015’s $6,579.
Many students asked how
they could further play a role
in the University and connect
with the Board of Regents. Last
semester, many students felt the
Regents lacked transparency.
CSG hosted a similar town
hall last semester, with Newman
and Regent Mark Bernstein (D).
The student government has
also taken steps to instating
student voices on the board
through the new Student
Advisory Council. In early
September, the board also voted
and passed a bylaw to do so.
“That bylaw highlights the
importance of student input in
University decision making,”
CSG President David Schafer,
an LSA senior, 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.”
The town hall with Newman
and Diggs lasted for an hour.

ATHLETES SPE AK OUT
The Panhellenic Association
at the University of Michigan
partnered with the University’s
Sexual Assault Prevention and
Awareness Center to host the
second annual Greek Life Speak
Out at the Pendleton Room of
the Union on Thursday.
In front of a full-capacity
audience of about 250 people,
survivors of sexual assault came
forward to speak about their
experiences in an open-forum
setting. Women spoke about
instances of sexual assault they
have experienced within and
outside the Greek life system or
beyond the University.
Panhellenic peer educators
— sorority members trained to
assist and support survivors
within their sororities — were
also on hand, with some sharing
their own personal stories.
Due
to
the
confidential
nature of the event, the Daily
was asked to not record or quote
speakers.
Kinesiology
junior
Cass
Bouse-Eaton,
co-director
of
the Panhellenic Peer Educator
Program, said she spearheaded
the event after being inspired
to provide a forum specifically
for people in Greek life after
attending a SAPAC speak out
two years ago.
“I just feel like this was
something that wasn’t talked
about in Greek life as a whole,”
Bouse-Eaton said. “I thought it
would be special to have a place
where people in Greek life could
speak about their experiences,
because our experiences are
sometimes different.”
Bouse-Eaton said she hopes
people will walk away from the
event empowered and open to
listening and providing support
to others.
“People are not always going
to show you when they’re
hurting,”
Bouse-Eaton
said.
“Be
conscious
that
people
might be. If someone does
feel comfortable telling you
something, you don’t need to
do anything other than say: ‘I
believe you and whatever you
need I am here.’ ”
LSA junior Kelsey Snyder,
another PPEP co-director, said
bringing awareness to sexual
assault on campus is key and it
was encouraging to see so many
male audience members there
in support of the women who
spoke.
“You just want people to be
more aware of what’s going on,”
Snyder said. “It was also really
great this year to see so many
men involved and present.”
Snyder also said they
were
providing
support
for people who needed to
debrief after the event and
she stressed the importance
of building relationships and
a supporting community for
survivors.
“I think it’s just great to
build
these
relationships
with people that you know
are
going
through
the
same
situation,”
Snyder
said. “Making it more of a
community
issue,
rather
than a women’s issue or just
in Greek life.”
First lady Sue Snyder of
Michigan was in attendance
at the event, but declined an
interview with the Daily.
At a summit on North
Campus last October, Gov.
Rick Snyder and Sue Snyder
announced the continuation
of a state grant towards
prevention of sexual assault
on college campuses. Last
December, the University
announced they received
about $100,000 of these
grants.
