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.” — BY ANDREW LEVY AND ARREBA STAFFORD FRIDAY’S BICENTENNIAL FEATURE: STUDENTS SLIP-SLIDE THEIR WAY TO MORNING CLASSES See MESA, Page 3
