Monday morning, a group
of students from the One
University Coalition and the
Climate Action Movement
sent a joint statement to
University
of
Michigan
administrators,
making
a
series of demands regarding
equity between U-M’s three
campuses and moving the
University towards carbon
neutrality.
In response to climate
issues,
the
University
announced the President’s
Commission
on
Carbon
Neutrality
in
February.
The commission’s goal is to
provide
recommendations
to the University on how to
achieve carbon neutrality
through
collaboration
between
students
and
faculty. In September, the
University joined a group of
Northern American research
universities in the University
Climate Change Coalition to
reach their environmental
goals.
About a month ago 1U
and
CAM
joined
forces
to petition the University
to divest over $1 billion
currently invested in natural
gas and expand the Go Blue
Guarantee to U-M Flint and
U-M Dearborn, among other
items.
Amytess Girgis, an LSA
junior
and
1U
activist,
said the two groups began
working
together
several
weeks ago, and share many
of the same goals.
“Both of us have been
just
entirely
admonished
and
ignored
by
this
administration,”
Girgis
said. “We’ve been promised
that change will come and
change has yet to come,
despite the fact that it’s been
a year. Neither of us have
seen any signs of progress.”
Girgis also said some
of the coalition’s requests
— expanding the Go Blue
Guarantee
to
Flint
and
Dearborn, for instance —
have been acknowledged by
the University, yet no action
has been taken.
“This is something that
they
have
acknowledged
would be a theoretically
good thing to do and that
they have refused to take any
action on,” Girgis said. “So
that’s the sole ask, and if the
University can’t meet that
ask, then we really have to
question what its intentions
are between its words and its
actions.”
LSA
junior
Solomon
Medintz,
a
member
of
CAM and columnist at The
Daily, said another unifying
factor
between
the
two
organizations has been their
attempts to work with the
University to make change
happen. Medintz said the
University has attempted to
pit activist groups like 1U
and CAM against each other,
making it seem as though
the goals of one group are
counterintuitive to the goals
of the other.
“President
Schlissel
actively tried to pit us against
one another by saying that
getting to decarbonization
by 2030 and being a leader in
climate justice would come
at the expense of the Go Blue
Guarantee,” Medintz said.
“And we are kind of joining
forces to show that we reject
that kind of sowing division
between different
social
justice
organizations.”
Medintz
said
the
University’s
investment
of
its $12.4 billion
endowment
in
controversial
interests
is
troubling to the
student body.
“Approximately
8 percent (of the
endowment)
is
invested in natural
resources,
and
natural resources
is almost entirely
oil
and
gas,”
Medintz
said.
“And
we
know
that for a couple
of reasons. The
first is that when
they’re comparing
it to what their
expected returns
for
the
given
category
is,
they’re
comparing
it to an energy index.
And secondly, of the last
eleven natural resources
investments made, about
ten of them are in the oil
and gas industry.”
In March of this year,
students
organized
a
sit-in
at
the
Fleming
Administration
Building
and ten protestors were
arrested.
Medintz
said
this
incident
shows
the
University
doesn’t
truly
support
climate
justice.
One
of
the
coalition’s
demands
is
for
administration
to
apologize for these arrests.
“I think the University’s
actions have spoken for
themselves,”
Medintz
said.
“Back
in
March
they arrested individuals
who
were
peacefully
protesting and were simply
requesting a meeting with
President Schlissel, and
they have yet to apologize
for those arrests. Charges
have yet to be dropped for
those arrests.”
According to University
Spokesperson
Public
Affairs Rick Fitzgerald, the
University is committed
to environmental justice
initiatives,
but
sees
a
different
path
towards
carbon
neutrality
as
student activists.
“The
university
is
committed to doing the
research
necessary
to
support the how so we can
help not just ourselves but
others beyond our campus
also
become
carbon
neutral,” Fitzgerald said.
”That’s the real benefit
of a research university
making a commitment to
becoming carbon neutral.
We have the resources to
figure out how to do it and
then we can share that
information with others.”
