The
leadership
of
the
Lecturers’
Employee
Organization has postponed a
walkout planned for Monday and
Tuesday after the University of
Michigan bargaining team began
to “move in the right direction”
at
a
last
ditch
bargaining
session Sunday morning, LEO
announced in a tweet Sunday
night.
The eight-member LEO Union
Council decided to call off the job
action after reviewing bargaining
progress and consulting with the
union bargaining team.
According to LEO President
Ian Robinson, more than 2,000
people, including students, had
signed up for picket shifts in the
event that the union called for
members to strike.
Robinson said Friday that even
if the University did not fully
meet LEO’s demands, if they
presented offers that showed
progress, union leadership would
continue negotiating.
“If they don’t come to table
with an adequate offer but it
shows enough progress that
we can call off the strike in
good faith, we would call of the
strike and continue bargaining,”
Robinson said.
Sexual Assault Prevention
and Awareness Center held its
fifth annual Yes Means Fest on
the Diag Sunday afternoon to
raise awareness of bystander
intervention and consent. The
event was organized by SAPAC’s
Bystander
Intervention
and
Community
Engagement
volunteer program.
The
event
inspired
conversations
surrounding
the problem of sexual violence
on
campus,
and
featured
several
student
groups,
musicians and artists in a series
of
performances.
Proceeds
from the event went toward
SafeHouse
Center,
which
supports people impacted by
sexual
assault
or
domestic
violence.
LSA seniors Julia Berg and
Bonnie Cheng, who served as
co-coordinators of the BICE
program,
spoke
about
the
event’s focus on the intersection
of
consent
and
bystander
intervention.
“April
is
Sexual
Assault
Awareness
Month
and
we’ve
already
had
SAPAC
on
the
Diag,
which
was
organized
by
(Consent,
Outreach
and
Relationship
Engagement) and was very
primary prevention oriented,”
Berg said. “We wanted to make
sure that this was very distinct
and
more
geared
towards
secondary
prevention
and
bystander intervention.”
Yes Means Fest featured
several student groups including
Wolverine Support Network,
Students for Choice, HeForShe,
Expect Respect, SafeHouse and
the Office of Student Conflict
Resolution.
Berg spoke further about
how the event served as a way
for student groups to raise
awareness on the importance
of bystander proactiveness and
showcase how their specific
organization could help people
resolve related issues.
“In years past it’s been held
in the Trotter Multicultural
Center, but we really wanted
to bring it to the Diag to just
make it a bigger event that’s
more accessible to people,” Berg
said. “We wanted to bring out
the
community
engagement
aspect of BICE, so we wanted to
partner with all these orgs and
work with them.”
Cheng said holding the event
on the Diag also allowed them
to expand the range of people
hearing their message.
Visual
and
written
art
expressions created by about
45
University
of
Michigan
students
and
faculty
were
displayed in Rackham Graduate
School Friday evening for the
Sexual
Assault
Prevention
and Awareness Center’s art
exhibition
“rEVOLUTION:
Making Art for Change.”
The event was founded by
a former SAPAC volunteer in
2006 as part of her senior honors
thesis. Years later, SAPAC’s
Survivor
Empowerment
and
Ally Support Program continues
to organize the art show as a
platform for the University
community to address issues
including
sexual
violence,
gender and sexism.
The SEAS Program is one
of the three volunteer groups
housed within SAPAC. SEAS
focuses efforts on educating the
community on prevention, self-
care and how to be supportive of
sexual violence survivors.
