‘NO LONGER EMPLOYED BY THE UNIVERSITY’ Alumna posted video of Boudreau citing Dambrot’s comments using racial slur to basketball team

By Courtney Pedersen Associate Editor news@cm-life.com

File Photo | CM Life Tim Boudreau speaks during a Society of Professional Journalists panel April 11, 2019 in Moore Hall. Isaac Ritchey | Editor-in-Chief The app, RAVE Guardian, allows users to receive information and chat directly with the Central Michigan University Police Department and Office of Civil Rights and Institutional Equity.

After being put on paid administrative leave June 26, Journalism Department Chair Tim Boudreau is “no longer employed by” Central Michigan University. “I have been notified by Faculty Personnel Services that Tim Boudreau is no longer employed by the university,” wrote College of the Arts and Media Interim Dean Elizabeth Kirby in a Sept. 2 email sent to tenured journalism faculty. The journalism personnel committee was asked by Kirby to meet and provide a recommendation for a new department chair by Sept. 9. Kirby was contacted for comment for this story. Kirby said in an email response that she was “unable to comment on personnel matters.” Dennis Armistead, executive director of Faculty Personnel Services, said he cannot comment on the situation, referencing the office’s standard practice on personnel investigations. Boudreau also was contacted for comment for this story. In June, Boudreau was put on paid administrative

leave following the release of a video on Instagram. The video showed him saying aloud a racial slur during a Media Law class lecture about a 1993 lawsuit. In the nine-second video, Boudreau can be heard saying, “… so he said… ‘I don’t want you to be like n-----s in the classroom, but I want you to play like n-----s on the court’” during a discussion about the 1993 lawsuit between CMU and fired men’s basketball coach Keith Dambrot. The words Boudreau was recorded saying during the lecture were the comments made by Dambrot to the team, not Boudreau’s own words. On June 22, alumna Skyler Mills, of Miami, Florida, posted the video on Instagram. Mills’ mother, Lisa, commented that the video was taken during her daughter’s junior year. Mills graduated in 2019. “Since we are exposing racists, let me introduce you to @cmuniversity professor Tim Boudreau who freely uses the n-word in class whether it be providing examples or quoting an individual,” Mills, an advertising major, captioned the post. “I know I wasn’t the only student of color who felt humiliated and uncomfortable by his racially insensitive statements.” Mills declined to offer comment for this story.

CMU LAUNCHES SAFETY APP, UPDATES CENTRAL ALERT SYSTEM By Teresa Homsi Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Central Michigan University launched a public safety app earlier this month as an extension of the Central Alert System. The app, called RAVE Guardian, allows users to receive information and chat directly with the Central Michigan University Police Department and Office of Civil Rights and Institutional Equity. “Instead of just us pushing information out, (students and staff) can send stuff back to us,” CMUPD Lt. Michael Sienkiewicz said. “It’s another way for us to get information to people in the way they want to receive it.” In addition to the chat features, the app also enables users to: • Set a safety timer when walking on campus • Instantly share location, personal identification and emergency contacts with CMUPD dispatchers • Call CMUPD for emergencies and

non-emergencies directly from the app • Opt into weather alerts and Central Alerts based on location • A call and content directory of campus resources such as CMU Health, the counseling center and Sexual Aggression Peer Advocates (SAPA) support line, among others Sienkiewicz said CMUPD looked into a safety app after receiving requests for more blue-light phones on campus. The Title IX committee also recommended an app that would allow students to easily chat with OCRIE. “(RAVE) is another tool they have control of,” Sienkiewicz said. “We’re offering it, and they can choose how they want to engage with it. Our goal is to keep campus safe and help people feel safe, and I think this will help them do that.” Approximately 1,500 people have downloaded the app since it was first launched Aug. 6. According to Sienkiewicz, a number of students have already used the chat feature to ask about parking services and partying concerns in regard to COVID-19.

he initial word of COVID-19 affected Alyssa Lawton and her family long before quarantine, social distancing or maskwearing was thought of in the United States. The Midland sophomore suffers from Lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease that occurs when the body’s immune system attacks its own organs and tissues, according to the Mayo Clinic’s website. The immune system is in place to guard against bacteria and viruses, but with this barrier worn down, the common cold and flu are more drastic for Lawton. “I remember when (the pandemic) first started happening, my mom would call me every single night crying because she was so scared for me to be out in public,” Lawton said. Many things about Lawton’s life have changed in a matter of months, including her need to stockpile a special medication from her doctor. This would ensure she would not be exposed to the general public for any circumstance. It is no surprise Lawton’s experience with Lupus would affect her education; she chose to attend Central Michigan University to double major in Exercise Science and Dietetics to help people with similar experiences and illnesses. However, the reality of COVID-19 has limited her options on campus and forced her to take online classes from behind a computer screen. Lawton spoke with Central Michigan Life about her observations and concerns in regard to the present threat of COVID-19 on campus.

Q&A

I’m doing 90 percent of my classes online. I am going to one of my classes in person - it’s a communications course - just because it’s a lot harder to give speeches online. I go one day (a week), but I’m trying to work with the teacher to see if I could go more days since it’s the only time I get to communicate with other people.

What is your living situation like? I signed a lease in Mount Pleasant before COVID-19 happened, so I was stuck. Luckily, my roommates are really cool about it and take things very seriously. I live in the basement and take care of everything in the shared spaces, like the kitchen. I clean everything before I use it.

Do you still feel the need to take the same precautions you did at the beginning of the pandemic? I think at first I was too scared to leave my apartment, but I know there are things I can do to protect myself. I always

make sure I’m doing the basic stuff. I’m always washing my hands, I carry hand sanitizer on me and I always wear my mask properly. I’ve made some new friends at CMU. They’ve asked me to hang out and it’s awkward because I have to tell them no, especially if they’re not wearing their masks properly.

Do you feel like you’re missing out? I’m really active in working out, so I miss going to the gym. I was counting on that to meet friends. I transferred from a different college, so the big thing is the social aspect for me. Not having the chance to meet anybody. Even those I do meet, it’s difficult to hang out with them because I have to be overly cautious.

In what ways has the online format affected your learning? I very briefly took an online summer course, but I’ve never had to do anything where I needed Webex and Zoom, so that’s all new to me. Every single day in my classes there are issues like speakers cutting out or things needing to be repeated or you can’t see the board. I just don’t think we are getting through the material as quickly as we need to. Everything is getting pushed until next time and it makes me nervous for the next semester when I don’t have the basic building blocks.

Do you feel faculty are accommodating? I definitely think most of the faculty is accommodating. When this semester first started, I made sure to email all of them and let them know my situation and all of them were very nice about offering extra help. They realize too that it’s a struggle for everyone, not just the students.

What are your feelings about CMU’s approach to maintain face-to-face learning?

––––––––––––––––––––––––––

In what format are you attending classes?

Alyssa Lawton Midland sophomore with autoimmune disease shares her experiences adjusting to continuing college amid a pandemic Stephanie Kennert ■ Staff Reporter

I 100 percent support it. It’s up to the students though. People need to start social distancing properly and stop being irresponsible by going to parties. A lot of students think it’s a joke. I have one friend who is a CMU student who was going to parties, and then on campus. She tested positive for COVID-19 and gave it to her roommates. She is still going out though, and just put on her Snapchat getting Slurpees with her friends. It makes me feel like this is not going to go away. You have to be careful who you hang out with.

As you see other campuses closing do your feelings about CMU’s efforts change? I feel like face-to-face is an important aspect of college, and I respect CMU’s wish to try to do that. But, it is completely up to the students. If people are going to continue to be irresponsible, then I agree with schools like Michigan State (University) closing for the safety of people like me or people who live with their parents or grandparents. They need to think about those people rather than other people’s wants.

How do you think you have handled the adjustment overall? Obviously, it’s not optimal. I’ve had my days where I’ve been super frustrated, especially when classes don’t go as well as we had hoped they would go. Overall, I make the best of it and have used my time more wisely. I can just stay at my desk and do homework as soon as I’m done with the class. I think I’ve handled everything pretty well.

ON CAMPUS WITH COVID-19

Four students walk on campus Aug. 30 outside Park Library.

Students share how they have adjusted to Hyflex classes, fear of infection and an empty campus

ike many other students, Shannon Scharba was excited to return to Central Michigan University’s campus for the start of the Fall semester. But her excitement came with a sense of fear. Scharba didn’t think COVID-19 was under control and was unsure if the semester was going to happen a week before move-in. “I was nervous, because I wasn’t sure with everybody living in such close quarters if it was a good idea,” the Chicago sophomore said. “I came to campus because I wanted to be here and give it a try before everything got moved back.” Whether it was fear or doubt, some students wondered what school would be like during a pandemic. Others were excited to return to in-person classes. With restrictions in place, students living on campus and attending classes in person have been adapting to a new way of campus living.

While Hudsonville freshman Jared Haverdink was surprised to see how many students were wearing masks, he and his friends have been talking about how long CMU would stay in-person. They don’t think campus will remain open for long after Labor Day. Jonesville sophomore Katelyn King said she was nervous about the university’s return plan. She is frustrated it was not offered from the start. While concerns are present, students were also excited to return to in-person learning. Devyn Geisenhaver is a vocal performance major with classes that cannot be done online. The Davison junior finds it difficult to learn online and is concerned about the possibility of classes suddenly reverting to online only. Harper Woods sophomore Madison Graham said having classes in person is easier for her as an art major. She is taking a printmaking class that the faculty member is teaching

remotely. “I wish I had the experience of taking that class in person,” Graham said. “I’m happy with the class. It’s still fun, just a little weird.” Birch Run sophomore and transfer student Alexandra Ramirez said she prefers the classroom to a computer screen. Theo Bartolomeo, a junior from Saint Paul, Minnesota said he was happy to be back to some sort of college life and is glad the university could make it work. But this semester came with restrictions, including in the classroom. Students are mostly taking classes in the HyFlex model or completely online since returning to campus. The HyFlex model gives students the choice of whether they

or the past three weeks, Central Michigan University has been at the forefront of discussions when it comes to COVID-19 in higher education, especially in Michigan. Between Central Michigan Life, The Detroit News, Detroit Free Press, MLive, The Morning Sun and various regional television stations there is enough media coverage to go around. It can be overwhelming for students, faculty and staff to see our university in COVID-19 headlines and TV news. As this semester moves forward, it is important to us that you know what to expect from CM Life when it comes to COVID-19 coverage. This fall, we have a heightened responsibility as we report on CMU and COVID-19. We should not dilute the story. We also should not overwhelm our readers with information. In an email to the student body on Aug. 28, President Bob Davies said that each day the university will report new cases. This is a huge step forward for a university that has expressed the need for an open dialogue with students but limited the information it divulges. “Our Emergency Management Team is working diligently to ensure we’re reporting positive cases within our university community in a timely manner,” Davies said. “In partnership with the health department, we have identified a process to expedite reporting and identify positive cases connected with CMU.” Whether administrators can stick to their word has yet to be seen. That’s where CM Life comes in. Going forward- we will be giving readers updates on newly reported COVID-19 cases every Monday. Further case number updates can be

CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE | CM-LIFE.COM

found within stories pertaining to COVID-19 during the week. Of course, if there is a significant increase, or decrease, in the amount of new or total cases we will report that. COVID-19 is the biggest story on campus. Therefore the entire CM Life staff is dedicated to covering it. There are plenty of things students want to know right now: What is the case limit before campus has to be shut down? Why was there not on-site testing before students returned? What does the university consider a “normal” amount of cases? How many cases is CMU prepared to handle? These questions need answers. We are working hard to get them for you. CM Life also needs to feature personal stories about individual students who have struggled with the idea of COVID-19 or having the virus itself. It will be from those stories that people will fully understand the effect COVID-19 is having on students on and off-campus. Students are voicing two different opinions right now — some want to remain on campus and others want to go strictly online. CM Life is interested in covering both sides of the conversation. Student voices should ring loud and clear to administrators. After all, our health and safety is at risk. We hope people are beginning to see firsthand the influence that journalists have at this moment in history. We take pride in the work that we do for our community. We understand that these are unprecedented times. Everyone is figuring out how to navigate this Fall 2020 semester. Through it all, CM Life will remain committed to our sources, readers and listeners. Because without these people, there would be no CM Life.

attend in person or online. Going online last semester was difficult for Mount Pleasant senior Madison Harsh. who was nervous about going through it again. With both in-person and online classes, she said it is not as stressful as it was in the spring. She likes that she does not have to leave her house for classes, especially, when she is not feeling well. Online classes have left some students feeling like they are not getting their money’s worth. Hannah Hendley, a Flint junior, initially signed up for all HyFlex classes because she prefers attending in-person. Most classes, however, eventually switched to online. She is upset about the class changes since she paid to live on campus. Scharba typically attends one lab class in person each week and attends the rest online. While she finds online classes trickier, she prefers having the option to avoid getting sick. “I want to be here, but at the same time, I’m not getting my money’s worth,” Scharba said. “I’m paying a lot of money to be here, and I’m trapped in my dorm room, basically taking online classes for the same price I would be taking in-person classes. “It’s frustrating because I could have saved money by staying home.” Hamilton sophomore Brendan Kramer agrees that he is not getting the same value from online classes, but he prefers being on campus around other students than being stuck inside like he was this summer. It is worth it to him, Kramer said, to be here.

When CMU students returned to Mount Pleasant, so did parties. An active Welcome Weekend and a large party at Deerfield Village Apartments caused many residents and students to be alarmed. Many students were disappointed in their peers’ behavior. Geisenhaver was disappointed in those who did attend the parties and that students, who were given a privilege to attend school in person were wasting the opportunity to be here. Bartolomeo also expressed his disappointment with the parties. “The most important thing to understand is that their actions mean a lot more now than they ever have,” Bartolomeo said. “For people to go about that partying life like it’s a normal year is pretty insensitive. I think they should have better judgment.” Cases related to CMU students returning to the Mount Pleasant area has steadily climbed since Aug. 16, said Melissa DeRoche, Central Michigan District Health Department Emergency Preparedness Coordinator. As of Sept. 2, the department reported 211 confirmed cases with another 14 that are probable, according to a press release from the health department. From Aug. 17 to Sept. 2, the university announced 134 cases in the CMU community, according to its Fired Up for Fall webpage. A student in one of Scharba’s online classes tested positive for COVID-19; another reason she’s glad online classes are an option. While she supports the university handing out masks, and thinks CMU is genuinely trying to make its plan work, she does not feel safe on campus. Others said they feel safe walking around campus and going to classes. Due to a family background in the medical field, Ramirez said keeping clean is nothing new to her. Bartolomeo said the university has created a strong plan

and has confidence in himself to make the right decisions. “I’m perfectly OK with (the restrictions) because that means the school is taking all the precautions necessary to keep us on campus. I’m willing to make that sacrifice,” Bartolomeo said. Because of health concerns, Scharba said she will choose to stay in her residence hall room for most of her time this semester. Scharba said she leaves her room only two or three times a week. With the restrictions in place and university services like the Student Activities Center closed for the semester, other students have been feeling stranded in their residence hall rooms or apartments. Hendley said she occupies her time by keeping up on schoolwork and watching TV. Both Geisenhaver and Graham take walks to prevent feeling stir crazy. Scharba and Harsh paint to pass the time. Bartolomeo began catching up with old friends. Ramirez said she has plans to kayak down the Chippewa River. One thing that many students have picked up on is a change in the atmosphere on campus. They have noticed that sidewalks are emptier. Geisenhaver and Graham said some of their friends in their residence hall decided to go home. Campus life now feels isolating to them, they said. Living on campus with these restrictions leaves Haverdink with a different view about CMU than he predicted. “It’s definitely been different than high school and different than what I expected when I made my decision to come here,” Haverdink said. “With a 20,000-student enrollment, I was expecting lots of people and lots of activity. COVID-19 kind of shut that all down. “(CMU) feels more like a ghost town to me.”
