Tom Price, the secretary of
Health and Human Services, is
receiving flak this week for having
taken five separate flights on private
jets between Sept. 13 and Sept. 15,
which, according to Politico, in total
likely cost taxpayers more than
$60,000.
Price, who is also a Michigan
native and two-time alum of the
University of Michigan, used the
flights to attend community health
centers in Pennsylvania and New
Hampshire, as well as participate
in a panel discussion with a CEO in
the health care industry at a resort
in Maine.
The flights have critics accusing
Price of being a hypocrite, as he
has been developing a plan for
eliminating wasteful spending
within his department.
According to CNN, Charmaine
Yoest, assistant secretary of Health
and Human Services for Public
Affairs, said Price arranged to fly
privately due to time constraints.
“Within an incredibly
demanding schedule full of 13-plus-
hour days, every effort is being
made to maximize Secretary Price’s
ability to travel outside Washington
to meet with the American people
and carry out HHS’s missions,”
she said in a statement. “The travel
department continues to check
every possible source for travel
needs including commercial, but
commercial travel is not always
feasible.”
In addition to criticizing
wasteful spending, Price himself
has explicitly addressed the issue of
government officials using private
jets. In a 2009 interview on CNBC,
Price condemned congressional
Democrats for authorizing funding
for several private jets.
“This is just another example of
fiscal irresponsibility run amok in
Congress right now,” Price said.

LSA senior Jon Rubenstein represents the Barger Leadership Institute at
the So Cool So Just Student Org Fair on the Diag on Wednesday.
SO COO L!
(Schlissel) said, ‘All right, so
what else do you want to do?’”
she said. ”They literally were not
acknowledged. How are we the
ones that have to deal with all
the racial tension on campus, and
then on top of that you want me to
do my schoolwork, and get good
grades?”
State
Rep.
Yousef
Rabhi,
D-Ann
Arbor,
attended
the
protest and sit-in to expression
firm opposition to the expressions
of hatred and racism at the
University and downtown Ann
Arbor.
“First of all, as an elected
official, it’s important that I
understand what the concerns of
my constituents are,” Rabhi said.
“Second of all, I am appalled by
the incidents of racist expression
that have happened on campus
and I think something needs be
done about it.”
In his speech at the Union,
Schlissel explained his intention
to work together with Black
students
on
prevention
and
education.
“I’d love to hear your ideas, and
what you expect of us,” Schlissel
said. “I want to learn what you
think the administration should
be doing beyond what we’ve
already done to help make this a
better place for you so that you
can get what you want out of
Michigan. You all belong here,
and I want to make sure you get
that message.”
Many, however, decried a
lack of updates from police
investigations
into
racist
incidents.
University
NAACP
chapter President Isaiah Land, an
LSA senior, questioned the lack
of resolutions or perpetrators’
identities.
“I had a meeting earlier with
Schlissel in the (president’s)
house, and he basically told me
all of the things that I didn’t want
to hear,” Land said. “I asked him
how many people have been
caught in these investigations
when racial incidents pop up,
and he told me that there were
zero people caught in the last four
years. They couldn’t even find the
people who were doing this stuff
over the internet, and we have a
hackathon at the University every
year? That’s just ridiculous.”
At the meeting, a student
called for the arrest of a student
who posted racial slurs on his
Snapchat story, citing this as an
example of a situation where the
identity of could be found, yet to
no action from the University.
Schlissel chose not to comment
on this suggestion.
LSA
freshman
Madison
Peterson called for more than
investigations.
“To me, investigation just
means it is going to be swept
under the rug, and I actually want
punishment for these people,
because I want to feel safe on
campus,” she said. “I don’t want
to be targeted in the classroom,
outside of the classroom, at social
events, I just want to come here
and get an education without
being targeted for being a Black
girl.”
Postdoctoral
fellow
Austin McCoy, an adviser to
Students4Justice
and
veteran
organizer, said students’ claims
warranted
a
response
from
administrators.
“They asked (Schlissel), have
you ever caught anyone, and
(he) said no, and I think just that
exchange shows that the students
have facts to backup the fact
that they don’t feel safe,” McCoy
said. “I think that the longer it
takes to actually hold someone
accountable for doing these
acts, the more tension there’s
going to be.”
LSA freshman Nick Zazula
said, as a white student, racism
on campus pertained to him,
too.
“I’m an ally, and I think that
there is obviously a problem
here, and that’s why people are
coming together and any kind
of systematic issue isn’t just a
problem for Black people; it’s a
problem for all of us, and I think
that’s something we should
address together as a student
body,” Zazula said.
At
Schlissel’s
house,
organizers told the crowd they
must decide whether they
want to stay on the lawn of the
house or reassemble tomorrow.
The majority of the crowd
remained on the lawn, but
leaders reinforced that health
comes first and it was all right
if protesters needed to leave to
complete homework.
