Coleman,
launched
the
campaign in 2013, and more
than 382,000 donors have
contributed since. The $5
billion in funds includes $1.1
billion for student support,
surpassing
the
campaign’s
designated $1 billion goal.
Schlissel
emphasized
the
importance of the school’s
$11 billion endowment and
fundraising efforts like the
Victors
campaign
to
the
University and its reputation.
“The difference between
Michigan being a very good
public university in the Big
Ten and being one of the global
leaders in higher education
and research is the Victors
campaign,” Schlissel said.
Schlissel thanked donors
for their support, including
Richard and Susan Rogel,
who
committed
$150
million to the University of
Michigan
Comprehensive
Cancer Center in March. The
center was renamed the Rogel
Cancer Center in their honor.
Schlissel said the donation
was the largest gift in the
history of Michigan Medicine.
Eric R. Fearon, the center’s
director, said the donation
helped
to
advance
cancer
research
and
technology
while
providing
support
to hire new scientists and
offer scholarships to medical
students.
“Philanthropy is critical,”
Fearon said. “It allows us
to launch high-risk, high-
reward research and support
promising young faculty, as
well as senior faculty, to pursue
new directions in their work.
It provides the foundation
to generate the preliminary
studies and data needed to be
successful in obtaining federal
grant funding.”
During
a
question-and-
answer
session,
sociology
lecturer Ian Robinson asked
Schlissel about the possibility
of including the University’s
Flint and Dearborn campuses
in the Go Blue Guarantee,
which promises free tuition
for in-state students in Ann
Arbor who have with family
incomes under $65,000.
“I’m
wondering
with
the kind of resources the
University
has,
based
on
the
capital
campaign’s
extraordinary success, if it
wouldn’t be possible to do that,
to extend the Go Blue promise
to those campuses, where a
much higher percentage of the
students probably qualify for
that,” Robinson said.
Schlissel said the Go Blue
Guarantee in Ann Arbor was
“driven by the fact that we
don’t have nearly adequate
economic diversity on this
campus,” whereas the Flint
and Dearborn campuses have
higher levels of socioeconomic
diversity. He also said because
the
three
campuses
have
separate finances, Ann Arbor
did not have the financial
means to extend the Go
Blue Guarantee to the other
campuses.
“What I think we need
to do together, to be honest,
is the state of Michigan is
49th of the 50 states in their
direct-to-student support
for
need-based
student
scholarships,”
Schlissel
said. “State governments
have to step in and protect
and support their citizens,
and even a great university
like Michigan can’t replace
the state government.”
Parity
between
campuses
has
been
a
longstanding
source
of
tension.
Last
year,
the
University’s
lecturers’ union lobbied
for the same salary levels
for members teaching on
the Flint and Dearborn
campuses.
Schlissel’s
remarks
about
varying
economic
diversity
is
largely correct — students
on
the
University’s
other
campuses
come
from
lower-income
backgrounds,
according
to data from the Equality
of Opportunity project.
The medican household
incomes of students on the
Flint campus is $105,200
and $94,500 for students in
Dearborn, as compared to the
$154,000 median on the Ann
Arbor campus.
The
Thursday
breakfast
was Schlissel’s final formal
leadership convening of his
current term. Last month,
the Regents voted to extend
the president’s contract by
another five years.
Schlissel’s
pledge
comes
after the Regents meeting in
September, where students
criticized
the
University
for the size of its carbon
footprint and urged it to
do more to combat climate
change. Engineering junior
Logan Vear is a member of the
Climate
Action
Movement,
which has been advocating
for a commitment to carbon
neutrality on campus since
the beginning of the year
by pressuring the Board of
Regents
and
Schlissel
to
commit to carbon neutrality.
Vear
said
Schlissel’s
commitment was a “great
start” in the discussion of
carbon neutrality, but noted
the lack of “minutiae” in his
announcement.
“Within his comment, there
was no explicit statement
committing
the
University
to
carbon
neutrality,
but
rather, commiting to ‘putting
U-M on a trajectory towards
carbon neutrality and levels of
greenhouse gas release that are
environmentally sustainable’
which does not clearly define
what the exact scope of the
reduction goal may be,” Vear
wrote. “Additionally, he failed
to present a deadline in which
this ‘goal’ may be achieved.
Therefore, although we are
gratified
to
see
progress
towards this complex issue,
we will continue to push for
a concrete date as well as the
establishment of intermediate
goals to get there. We are
excited
to
continue
this
conversation.”

QUOTE OF THE WE E K
“
You should know that one neighbor spent nine months
constantly, and I mean daily, dealing with city, University police and
Greek life entities before one of these party houses set up by members of
a banned fraternity was shut down. This is a real problem. Others in this
neighborhood must constantly deal with trash, public drunkenness, loud
music and other violations of city ordinances. Oversight of these groups
is not done at the national level despite the claims of their attorneys.
Oversight by the University and the Office of Greek Life does not seem
to make much difference.”
Peter Nagourney, the co-chair for the North Burns Park Association and neighbor to several Greek life houses

From Page 1A
Every Friday, one Daily news staffer will give a behind the scenes
look at one of this week’s stories. This week, LSA sophomore
Leah Graham covered President Schlissel’s Leadership Breakfast
where he made major announcements on behalf of the University’s
trajectory..
“The Leadership Breakfast was definitely a change of pace from other
events, even ones involving other major university figures. It was fairly
serious. Everybody was in business attire and they all had personalized
name tags. President Schlissel’s remarks lasted for about an hour, and
I sat at the back with the other reporters while photographers kind of
milled around. Overall it was great a experience, and the event gave a
pretty comprehensive survey of some of the main things that matter
to the University right now, from fundraising efforts to fighting climate
change.”
Leah Graham: “Schlissel announces Victors for Michigan meets $5
billion mark, eyes carbon neutrality for campus”
