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.
