President Donald Trump’s
presidency is considered
illegitimate by 57 percent of
young adults, according to a poll
conducted by GenForward.
Among those who were
surveyed, a slight majority
of white voters age 18 to 30
found Trump’s presidency to
be legitimate. However, within
that group, 55 percent said they
disapprove of his efforts as
president.
The poll, administered
by a research group from the
University of Chicago, also found
that within the group of 18 to 30
year olds polled, only 22 percent
approve of the job Trump is doing
as president, while 62 percent
disapproved.
These numbers have been
reflected on the University
of Michigan’s predominantly
Democratic-leaning campus.
During the election season,
surveys by The Michigan Daily
showed approximately 70 percent
of students supported Clinton
over Trump or other third-
party candidates. Additionally,
following the election, there have
been multiple protests pushing
back against Trump’s presidency.
At a vigil immediately
following the election, University
President Mark Schlissel
encouraged students to stand up
against hatred.
“Ninety percent of you
rejected the kind of hate and the
fractiousness and the longing for
some kind of idealized version of
a non-existent yesterday that was
expressed during the campaign,”
Schlissel said in November. “So I
urge you, continue your advocacy
and your voices are already being
heard. They are loud and clear —
this is the way America changes.
It’s the way it always changes.
It’s the way it will change for the
better.”

A recent press release from the
University of Michigan’s Central
Student Government introduced
the
Student
Fee
Advisory
Committee, which was originally
announced on March 8 and is
co-chaired by the presidents
of CSG and Rackham Student
Government.
In
coordination
with E. Royster Harper, the
University’s vice president for
student life, this committee of
nine students will meet twice
during both the fall and winter
terms next year.
As stated in the press release,
the committee will work to
increase
the
participation
of students in activities and
organizations on campus before
developing
student
fees
and
making recommendations to the
University’s Board of Regents,
and will also give feedback on the
needs of students, specifically in
relation to these fees.
By providing students with
more opportunities to voice their
opinions and concerns, the SFAC
looks to continue encouraging
the input of students. In the
press release, CSG President
David Schafer, LSA senior, spoke
specifically of this importance.
“The elevation of student voice
in as many avenues of University
decision-making as possible has
been one of our major goals this
year,” he said.
The
recommendations
the
committee makes will come
directly
from
the
consensus
of its members. If a consensus
cannot be reached, a majority
recommendation will instead be
used for student fee approval and
allocation.
In an email interview, CSG
Communications Director Joseph
Shea, a Public Policy senior, said
SFAC will provide students with
a way to connect more directly
with upper-level administration
and to have a say in the impact of
fees affecting both their tuition
and their participation in campus
organizations.
“The
student
fee
is
a
powerful tool: it permits the
allocation
of
financial
resources towards pressing
on-campus
concerns,”
he
wrote. “When I was a first
year student, the Proppe
administration
increased
the student fee in order to
provide additional funding
for student organizations. As
this
administration
winds
down, we felt it was important
to have an institutionalized
body that is both independent
of CSG and will represent
students in discussions on any
student-fee related issues with
the Vice President of Student
Life.”
LSA
sophomore
Chang
Yang wrote in an email she
was not aware she pays for
services such as CSG.
“I definitely would like
to hear more about this new
CSG committee because any
increased
communication
between our student body
and the Regents in terms of
how effectively the students’
money is spent is good,” she
wrote.
