that our president in power has 
targeted for, at the very least, 

anti-immigrant rhetoric but also 
for deportation and removal.”
Student 
advocacy 
groups 
have 
responded 
negatively 
to the decision. Engineering 
senior Javier Contreras has 

been involved in immigration 
advocacy 
for 
five 
years 
at 
 
three 
different 
schools. 
He 
began 
his 
work 
in 
a 
 
mentorship 
program 
in 
his 
senior year of high school, 
helping 
students 
find 
colleges with resources for 
undocumented 
students. 
Contreras 
is 
a 
DACA 
recipient and has focused 
his 
recent 
advocacy 
on 
protecting 
undocumented 
University students.
“Generally, 
we’re 
not 
going to have a proper 
portrayal of our presence,” 
Contreras 
said. 
“The 
numbers would lie and be 
skewed to say that we have 
a smaller presence (than we 
do).”
Contreras noted DACA 
applicants 
are 
required 
to provide a large amount 
of 
personal 
information, 
including 
past 
addresses 
and fingerprints, but usually 
find the benefits outweigh 
concerns about the use of 
that information. He claims 
the same would not be true 
for the census. Contreras 
also said information and 
language 
barriers 
could 
stoke more fear and lead 
to an even lower amount of 
responses from immigrants.
LSA 
senior 
Alejandro 

Navarrete works at the Student 
Community 
of 
Progressive 
Empowerment, which supports 
and 
serves 
undocumented 
students. Like Contreras, he has 
been working in immigration 
advocacy 
for 
his 
entire 
undergraduate career.
“The usability of the census 
for 
any 
type 
of 
empirical 
research 
would 
also 
be 
impacted, 
which 
would 
 
pretty much make the census 
useless, especially given the high 
proportion of undocumented 
immigrants that live in the 
country,” Navarrete said.
Navarrete said undocumented 
University students will not be 
in immediate trouble, and other 
issues are far more pressing for 
undocumented 
immigrants. 
However, he expressed concerns 
about the long-term effects of an 
inaccurate population count, 
which could potentially hurt 
the immigrant population as a 
whole.
“When drafting policy — 
thinking about who constituents 
are 
— 
representatives 
will 
underestimate 
the 
number 
of 
immigrants 
and 
also 
underestimate the effect of 
immigrants,” Navarrete said. 
“In the long term, it will just be a 
negative for any progress related 
to the estimate of immigration’s 
impact on the country.”

CENSUS
From Page 1

On Monday evening, current 
and 
incoming 
University 
of 
Michigan 
Central 
Student 
Government 
leadership 
released a statement of support 
for the Lecturers’ Employee 
Organization. 
The 
statement 
encourages students to engage 
in 
LEO 
bargaining 
efforts 
and support lecturers at the 
University.
Since 
last 
October, 
LEO 
has been bargaining with the 

University for increased wages 
and benefits. According to the 
statement, LEO is comprised of 
1,700 non-tenure track faculty 
across all three campuses, and 
in the 2016-2017 school year 
generated $462 million for the 
University. Lecturers’ contracts 
are set to expire on April 20, 
and while the administration 
had initially responded to LEO’s 
requests with a proposition, 
LEO referred to their proposal 
as “insulting.” If the University 
does not properly comply with 
LEO’s 
demands, 
they 
have 
authorized a possible vote for a 

strike.
The joint CSG statement, 
signed by current CSG President 
Anushka Sarker, an LSA senior 
and CSG Vice President Nadine 
Jawad, a Public Policy senior, and 
incoming CSG President Daniel 
Greene, a Public Policy junior, 
and CSG Vice President Izzy 
Baer, an LSA sophomore, called 
for students to stand in solidarity 
with LEO. The CSG leadership 
also acknowledged the hardships 
lecturers at the University face 
due to low salaries.
“When 
our 
lecturers 
are 
forced to work multiple jobs, 

face 
food 
insecurity, 
and 
struggle to make ends meet 
in Ann Arbor, we as students 
feel the repercussions through 
the quality of teaching in our 
classrooms,” the statement read. 
“Lecturers’ working conditions 
are our learning conditions.”
CSG 
leadership 
also 
encouraged 
students 
to 
participate in the LEO Weekend 
of Action, which will take place 
from April 6 through April 10, 
and will include open bargaining 
sessions and a potential strike if 
LEO demands are not properly 
acknowledged.
