The 
University 
of 
Michigan 

Central 
Student 
Government’s 

Ninth Assembly held its last meeting 

virtually through a BlueJeans video 

conference Tuesday night. The 

Assembly discussed amendments 

to the CSG budget and allocations 

to the Dean of Students Emergency 

Fund, 
a 
financial 
assistance 

program run by the University 

that provides students in need 

with up to $500.

The Assembly discussed a motion 

to amend budget allocations for the 

LSAT prep course sponsored by 

CSG. Currently, course instructors 

are paid $200 for two and a half 

teaching hours a week. The motion 

proposed to pay $80 to instructors 

teaching their own class and $120 

to instructors covering another 

instructor’s class as opposed to the 

previously set weekly rate for their 

role in the program.

The 
amendment 
further 

stipulated that instructors would 

be paid $40 for attending a weekly 

meeting, but it was ruled out of 

order by Speaker Whit Froehlich, 

a Medical student, on the grounds 

that it was unconstitutional. 

Rackham student Austin Glass 

said 
he 
supported 
Froehlich’s 

ruling due to the precedent it set 

for future amendments that could 

have a negative impact on workers. 

“Overturning 
this 
ruling 

would, in my view, be a dangerous 

constitutional challenge to the 

power of CSG and the power of 

the Assembly,” Glass said. “If 

an amendment like this were 

allowed, an amendment to change 

the amount that individuals were 

paid to zero dollars would also 

be allowed. That is completely 

unacceptable and unattainable to 

me.”

The 
Assembly 
voted 
to 

overturn Froehlich’s ruling and 

after engaging in a debate, LSA 

sophomore Sam Braden proposed 

to strike the $120 being paid to 

instructors 
covering 
another 

instructor’s 
class 
from 
the 

proposed budget amendment. The 

change was made with unanimous 

consent and the Assembly voted to 

pass the budget amendment. 

Rackham 
student 
Hayden 

Jackson supported the amendment 

to the budget so that course 

instructors get paid adequately, 

citing 
that 
not 
passing 
the 

amendment due to procedural 

concerns would be unjust to the 

workers.

“What (this amendment) comes 

down to is whether you believe 

that people should be paid fairly 

for their work,” Jackson said.

The Assembly approved the 

amendment to the Winter 2020 

budget 
to 
reallocate 
$2,000 

from 
the 
Programming 
Board 

Project Account to the Legislative 

Discretionary 
Fund. 
The 

amendment was made in order to 

create sufficient funds to make 

an allocation of $20,000 from the 

fund towards the Dean of Students 

Emergency Fund.

After amending the amount to 

be allocated to $10,000 in order 

to leave sufficient funds in the 

budget for the next Assembly, the 

Assembly voted for the motion by 

unanimous consent.

The Assembly also discussed 

the screening process for the Dean 

of Students Emergency Fund and 

the idea of waiving the $500 limit 

of fund allocation to students 

displaying need from the fund 

to Dean of Students Laura Blake 

Jones. 

Because Tuesday’s meeting was 

the last of the ninth CSG Assembly, 

President Ben Gerstein, Public 

Policy junior, thanked Assembly 

members for their contributions. 

Elections for the 10th Assembly 

take 
place 
Wednesday 
and 

Thursday online at vote.umich.

edu.

“I want to thank each and 

every one of you. It’s been a really 

challenging, 
but 
rewarding 
and 

unbelievable, year. Each and every 

one of you have had an impact 

on 
my 
personal 
experience 
at 

CSG,” Gerstein said. “It’s been an 

unbelievable two and a half years. I 

really hope that you all took as much 

as I took from this Assembly this 

past year and utilize that passion you 

all have to move forward.”

CSG discusses budget changes 
in Ninth Assembly’s last meeting

Body allocates $10,000 to Dean of Students Emergency, proposes 
alterations to salary of sponsored LSAT prep course instructors

Doe 
claimed 
the 
sex 
was 

consensual.

Following the complaint against 

Doe, the University suspended his 

degree. Doe alleged this put his 

academic and professional future at 

risk without a full investigation in 

the lawsuit. 

According to MLive, Tarnow 

held it was unconstitutional for the 

University to suspend Doe before 

his hearing and decided all students 

accused of misconduct are entitled 

to a live hearing and a cross-

examination with the accuser. 

There is no dispute between 

the parties that Defendants’ 2018 

Policy denied Plaintiff a right to a 

hearing,” Tarnow held. “Defendants 

adjudication 
of 
the 
allegations 

against him ‘without process ... 

immediately 
collides 
with 
the 

requirements of the Constitution.’”

Doe claimed the University’s 

investigative process violated his 

due process rights because he was 

not made aware of his accuser’s 

allegations when the Office of 

Institutional Equity interviewed 

him.
