Multiple
student

organizations are boycotting
the Office of Multi-Ethnic
Student Affairs’ search for
a
new
associate
director

after members of the Latino
community asked for stake in
the hiring process and were
not given an opportunity to.
The group sough to increase
Latino
representation
in

leadership positions at the
University of Michigan due to
the continued lack of Latino
representation in University
administration.

After
the
recent

appointment of Nadia Bazzy
as MESA director, La Casa,
the
Latinx
Alliance
for

Community Action, Support
and
Advocacy,
has
asked

other groups to boycott the
hiring process and asked the
three candidates to decline
to be interviewed until the
University’s
“exclusionary

practices”
are
addressed,

according to a statement. As
part of the Office of Student
Life, MESA offers programs,
outreach and student training
to
promote
diversity
and

inclusion on campus.

“The lack of representation

of the Latinx community in
leadership positions directly
opposes the University’s highly
promoted goals of diversity,
equity, and inclusion,” the
statement
reads.
“These

exclusionary practices further
exemplify that the Latinx
voice is not valued by the
University, Latinx students
and
community
members

should not aspire to be leaders
on our campus, and that the

Latinx community has no
value at the University of
Michigan.”

In a previous statement

regarding Bazzy’s new role,
La
Casa
said
they
were

dissatisfied
“not
with
the

individual appointed as the
new director” but with the
procedure
by
which
she

was selected, citing a hiring
process
that
“denied
the

Latinx voice.” According to
La Casa, Bazzy is the fifth
consecutive hire MESA has
made that did not result in
the employment of a Latino
individual.

Public Policy junior Yvonne

Navarrete, lead director of La
Casa, said programs intended
to support underrepresented
groups often don’t take Latinx
students into consideration.


“There
is
a
disconnect

with these offices as they
do not actively engage with
our community in order
to understand our needs,”
Navarrete said. “The Latinx
community should have a voice
during hiring processes and
when evaluating candidates
for positions that affect our
community.”

The
executive
board
of

the United Asian American
Organizations and the Muslim
Students’
Association
have

expressed
support
for
La

Casa, and stated they will not
be participating in the hiring
process for the new associate
director.

In an email obtained by

The Daily, the MSA executive
board wrote that La Casa’s
concern about the selection of
Student Life administrators
was “legitimate.”

“We can attest the process

by
which
students
are

involved in Student Life hiring
decisions can be inconsistent
and lacking in transparency,”

Student groups boycott MESA
over lack of Latino representation

La Casa stated they were not included in the search for a new director

LEAH GRAHAM
Daily Staff Reporter

Every Friday, The Michigan
Daily republishes an article from
The Daily’s archives from a
moment in University history.

The campus woke up to a

winter wonderland surprise,
as one of the most severe
snowstorms in recent memory
hit Ann Arbor early yesterday
morning.

Nine inches of snow, along

with high winds that blew it
all over streets and sidewalks,
made the trip to class yesterday
treacherous for students and
faculty alike.

“Well, there was a lot of snow

to walk through — up to my
knees,” said Kari Ifkovits, an
LSA first-year student, who had
an anthropology section at 9:00
a.m. “I was slipping around and
fell on my butt, but I’m OK.”

University grounds workers

began clearing the streets at
7:00 a.m. “We’ve been working

all day” said Kim Mata, a
worker in the moving and
trucking department, which is
responsible for University snow
removal.

Despite the ground crews’

efforts, students complained
that not enough had been done.

“The roads and sidewalks

were not cleared enough,” said
LSA senior Geneva Eaddy,
who had four classes to attend.
“There were big clumps of snow
and there wasn’t enough salt on
the roads or sidewalks.”

Third-year Law student

Bernard Hooper said he was
caught off guard by the storm.
He didn’t expect all of the snow,
and had trouble traversing the
campus early in the morning.

“Apparently, the ground

crews at the University didn’t
expect it either,” Hooper
quipped. “But they did do a great
job of cleaning it up between the
hours of 8 and 10.”

Indeed, conditions improved

as the day progressed. By 1:00
p.m. many roads and sidewalks
had been cleared of snow, and
traffic once again started to
move. Salt was also spread in
many areas to melt lingering ice
slicks.

But that did not help LSA

sophomore Jin-Ho Chung,
whose 1:00 p.m. English lecture
was cancelled. Most of the
students showed up for class but
Professor Lillian Back, who lives
out of town, found the roads
impassible.

“We drove for one exit in

the four-wheel drive and were
afraid, so we got off,” Back said.

Communications Professor

Joan Lowenstein, an Ann
Arbor resident, said she could
have held her scheduled office
hours yesterday morning, but
was besieged by other weather-
related problems.

“Well, because the schools

were closed, my son who usually
goes to school had to stay home,
and also I have a baby who goes
to a babysitter,” Lowenstein
said. “The roads were too
dangerous for me to drive a baby
to the babysitter, so I stayed
home.”

Most classes, however, were

not cancelled.

When asked if his classes

were cancelled, Business school
senior Paul Schwartzman
replied, “Unfortunately, no.”

Though his classes were

on, Schwartzman had trouble
making it to class from his house
near Washtenaw.

“The streets were really icy,”

he said, adding, “there were a
lot of little snowbanks, and the
crosswalks were blocked.”
