Provost announces changes to spring semester Spring break will be replaced with five “wellness days” of no classes during the Spring 2021 semester By Courtney Pedersen Associate Editor news@cm-life.com

Provost Mary Schutten announced in an email Tuesday, that students will not receive a Spring Break during the Spring 2021 semester. Instead, there will be five “wellness days” of no classes throughout the semester. In addition, classes will be fully online for the first week of the semester, Jan. 11-15. Starting the next week, Jan. 18, courses will shift to meet in person, online or HyFlex format. Exam week will be held May 3-7. “To provide a semester that can promote wellness for all, faculty and students were in favor of wellness days throughout the semester to reduce virus transmission and give the entire CMU community chances to take a break throughout the semester,” Schutten said. Students expressed their frustrations about not having a Spring Break and their opinions on the new “wellness days.” Houghton Lake senior Madison Carpenter

believes wellness days will be used as catch-up days during the semester. “One day off here and there is basically used as a catch-up-on-work day, not an actual vacation from school,” Carpenter said. “On Spring Break, you can basically spend at least five days enjoying no school.” Armada freshman Emma Harding mentioned the lack of Spring Break will make it harder for herself, and other students, to visit family. “If they want to give the students a wellness day, they will give the students the opportunity to act responsibly and visit their loved ones,”

Harding said. “I have enough anxiety, and it’s not getting better being away from my family.” Student Government Association President Katie Preblich said she will miss Spring Break. However, she knows the university is choosing the best option to protect students. “Spring Break is something folks look forward to all year. The mental impact of this change was a huge consideration,” Preblich said. “The hope is that with the mental-wellness days, we will be able to have the break we need while also keeping our campus community safe.” SGA was presented four options for the Spring

semester and voted on what they would prefer at its Sept. 21 meeting. The group voted on the same option selected by CMU. Preblich said she is unsure how much impact SGA had on the decision. “I think the fact they asked for our feedback and selected the option we proposed does show the administration’s consideration of the student voice,” Preblich said. According to Schutten, several other departments were also asked for their opinions and concerns. “We considered several options to continue safe learning experiences in the spring,” Schutten said. “Before making a decision, President Davies and I consulted and received feedback from many across campus including student groups such as the SGA, the Emergency Management team, the president’s cabinet, faculty union leadership, Finance and Administrative Services, and Student Affairs and Academic Advising.” Faculty Association President Matt Johnson was asked by Schutten to put together a list of what faculty members want for the spring semester. Johnson sent out a Google survey to faculty to gather information. He knew that they had an interest in eliminating Spring Break, so he made sure to gather those opinions. “From their perspective, they didn’t want people traveling all over and bringing back the virus or spreading the virus in other places,” he said. Johnson said that some of the other concerns from faculty members included starting when Mount Pleasant Public Schools do and having flexibility to do remote teaching.

Survey to help determine spread of COVID-19 cases in community By McKaela Chapman Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Central Michigan University is conducting a “COVID-19 Surveillance Survey” to determine the potential number of asymptomatic coronavirus cases on campus through Oct. 15. The surveillance survey consists of two parts: answering survey questions and testing for the virus. The test itself will help to figure how frequent asymptomatic cases are on campus. “(The survey) asks questions that will help us determine how representative the people who come in are of the campus population as

a whole,” said Dr. Beth Bailey, CMU professor and research administrator for the College of Medicine. Survey questions will be based on where members of the CMU community have been congregated, how often they go home and where they eat. By taking the survey, it will be easier to “start to identify potential pockets and clusters of the virus as well as find possible risk factors,” Bailey said. The university is asking for volunteers who frequent campus, who: are not currently experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19, have not been in close contact with anyone who has been confirmed to test positive for

the virus and have not tested positive for COVID-19 in the past. “What we’re really hoping to do is perhaps educate people about what some of these risk factors are,” Bailey said. “We’re asking them to come in so that we can see what is going on, on the campus related to COVID-19 because we know a lot of people are asymptomatic that have it.” The College of Medicine is hoping to test 5 percent, about 200 members, of the campus community to get a representation of how common asymptomatic cases may be. Willing participants have been requested to sign up through Microsoft Outlook, and go to room 28A in the lower level

of Foust Hall at the time they select. Bailey said as many as 40 percent of people with COVID-19 have no symptoms, but can still spread the infection to others. “By volunteering, students will be providing us with valuable information to quickly make decisions that can help us keep everyone on the campus and in the surrounding area safer,” Bailey said. “Asymptomatic students who find out they are positive will be able to take action to reduce their risk of spreading the infection to others so they can keep their friends, fellow Rachael Yadlowsky | Photo Editor students, and loved ones safe.” A sign is displayed for COVID-19 testing Testing will be taking place Tuesday Sept. 30, 2020 outside of Foust Hall. through Thursday until Oct. 15.

SEEKING THE RIGHT

or institutions like Central Michigan University, the process behind launching a national administrative search is far more complex than simply putting out a helpwanted advertisement. Hiring a new administrator involves people, time and tens of thousands of dollars. Central Michigan Life requested the payment invoices of all high-level administrative searches through the Freedom of Information Act. The information is based on the received documents. Since Jan. 2015, CMU has conducted 23 administrative searches using nine different search firms, totaling more than $2 million. The average cost of each of these searches is about $92,000. Eight of them cost the university more than $100,000. On Sept. 3, Central Michigan University launched another nationwide search for a new College of Science and Engineering Dean. Chris Moberg, the dean of the College of Business Administration, serves as the search committee chair but Greenwood Asher and Associates will identify the candidates who will be considered. Search firms are specialized recruitment services that are paid by organizations to seek out qualified and experienced candidates for administrative roles. Firms bill the organization for various costs such as a professional fee, expenses, travel reimbursements and occasionally a percentage based on the salary offered to the candidate who is hired. CMU’s most expensive search since 2015 was the $175,859 it paid to the firm WittKieffer which resulted in the hiring of President Bob Davies. The fee included $150,000 for professional services, $10,000 fixed overhead, $6,019 services rendered and $9,840 for actual expenses. The search for a university president was announced on Jan. 25, 2018 and ended Aug. 3, 2018. Since Davies was hired in 2018, another 14 searches have been conducted by nine firms. These searches include the next two most expensive searches – the $125,000 search for the College of Business Administration Dean Chris Moberg and the $121,000 search for Executive Vice President and Provost Mary Schutten. USING A SEARCH FIRM Using a search firm is about “casting the widest net,” according to Schutten. Bringing in personnel from other parts of the country can result in new ideas, more networking and increased diversity. There’s never a shortage of talent to choose from, either. At any given point, thousands of people are

How CMU fills senior officer positions using professional search firms

interested in senior leadership positions. The university does not require that a search firm be used to fill every vacancy, according to the CMU Staff Hiring Process. However, Schutten said using search firms to fill most senior officer positions has become the standard. “At least college dean level and above… those are default external searches,” Schutten said. John Veilleux was recently hired as Vice President for University Communications and Chief Marketing Officer using Greenwood Asher and Associates firm costing CMU $117,373. He said he believes a university shows professionalism by employing a search firm. From an employee perspective, Veilleux explained that firms can help candidates prepare for interviews, understand the workplace culture of a university and provide insight into hot-button issues the institution is facing. “I would not apply for a job if someone wasn’t using a search firm. I just wouldn’t,” Veilleux said. “One of the things the search firm does is help prepare the various talent pools that they’re bringing in.” Timeliness is another factor. Search firms are equipped to get a position filled faster than an internal search. The search for CMU head football coach John Bonamego took only 18 days after the departure of Dan Enos in 2015 — others can take more than a semester. Bonamego was hired using Collegiate Sports Associates firm and cost $52,467. From a financial point of view, Schutten said search firms potentially save universities money because of decreased turnover rates. Candidates hired through a search firm are more likely to adapt to their new roles and stay at CMU for a longer tenure. The 2017 search for the recently departed athletic director Michael Alford did not use a search firm. Then Vice President for Advancement Bob Martin chaired the search. Martin stated the university saved $100,000 by appointing staff, faculty and student-athletes to the search committee instead of hiring a search firm that year. Alford only directed CMU athletics for three years. Although no invoices for the 2020 athletic director

search are finalized, Schutten said she estimates the cost is the same as the search for Nick Long, vice president of financial and administrative services, which was about $91,300, since they were both through DHR International. THE SEARCH PROCESS CMU’s Manual of University Policies, Procedures and Guidelines: Search Firms outlines the process of using search firms. Deciding to involve a firm falls upon the search committee, which is composed of administrators, faculty and the occasional student. Ultimate approval comes from the president, provost or a vice president. Those who serve on a search committee are

volunteers, Schutten said, and don’t have to accept the appointment. While they don’t get compensated for serving on a search committee, some faculty and staff view an appointment as part of their service to the university. After getting the go-ahead, the committee must choose one of the university-approved search firms or begin a bid process to involve a new one. Once a selection has been made, a work order outlining the responsibilities of the firm and committee must be completed with Human Resources. The next step is for the committee and firm to meet with the Office of Civil Rights and Institutional Equity or Human Resources to educate them on conducting

HALFWAY THROUGH DON’T OVERCOMMIT, DON’T GIVE IN

Students and faculty, we’re halfway there. We are just two months away from an early holiday break and a long-awaited breather. Students have lost the typical college experience to the pandemic, but the stress didn’t go anywhere. In fact, the work and commitment have increased. The halfway point is far from bliss. This is when many of us realize the mess we’ve gotten ourselves into. We’ve procrastinated. Committed to too many Registered Student Organizations. Zoned out during morning online lectures. Who could blame us, especially this semester? Digital burnout is real. The days are bleeding into one another. We’ve chosen to spend hours in front of our devices. Now, our motivation is slowly waning. As you stare at the checklist of unfinished items, consider if this is something you can do for another two months. Ask yourself if you need extra help. Then, act accordingly. If you need that extra help, the Office of Student Success are trained to offer a wide range of advice - time management, goal setting and budgeting money. Think of it as an investment and not another meeting on your schedule. A half-hour with a success coach could save hours of hardship later on. Perhaps the problem isn’t classwork. At this point in the semester, it’s easy to miss home, get irritated with your roommates or have trouble in your personal relationships. The counseling center is another resource to help resolve those problems. These resources are meant for your success and wellbeing. There’s no better time to take advantage of them than now.

There may be another level of stress for those involved on campus. RSOs can be fun, but the workload is not always worth it. Talk to the leader of your RSO or club about your workload. If you are the leader, consider delegating responsibilities with other members. Sometimes, students can prematurely commit to roles at the beginning of the semester. It’s OK to rethink commitments this semester. Mental health should be the number one priority. When the mid-point of the semester comes around, you notice you’re up to your knees in tasks. Finish this project, attend that meeting, organize the event. Now is the time to prioritize and focus on the things that matter most. Coming into this semester, students didn’t know what to expect. After six weeks, the day-to-day life of a college student has not gotten any easier. There are only two more months left. Take the rest of this week to reflect on your commitments and workload and make the necessary adjustments.

Multicultural Greek rock outside library faces continued vandalism By Stephanie Kennert Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Outside Park Library sits the Multicultural Greek Rock, a landmark for historically Black fraternities and sororities on campus. The organizations use the rock to promote messages they are passionate about, most recently “#BLM” for the Black Lives Matter movement. Soon after painting the rock as a group, the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) was frustrated to see the rock vandalized in bright yellow spray paint with the words “Cop Killer.” The vandalism, though recent, is not a new sight to the NPHC and Multicultural Greek Council. The NPHC said vandalism of the rock has been happening for years. In recent months, the messages have become increasingly aggressive. In

the past, the rock has been vandalized with solid yellow coloring over the NPHC’s messages, swastikas and Nazi messages. Morgan Stephens, Vice President of Finance for NPHC, said the group has learned to resolve situations themselves. “To me, it comes to a point of internalized oppression. You are less likely to report and say things if you just know what the outcome is going to be,” Stephens said. “Our first reaction is never ‘Let’s go tell President Bob Davies.’ Instead, it’s ‘Who’s gonna cash app me for spray paint?’” In June, Facilities Management personnel brought the continued vandalism to Davies’s attention. He went to the rock and spoke with the members of NPHC and Molly Schuneman, Assistant Director of Fraternity and Sorority life.

Ben Jodway | Staff Reporter The Multicultural Greek Rock, which was painted with a Black Lives Matter hashtag, is vandalized with “Cop Killer” Sept. 16 outside the Charles V. Park Library.

Chicago senior Alexis RobinsonDear said nothing more than a conversation came from that gathering. There have been no efforts by Davies or other organizations to find who is continuing to vandalize the rock, the Vice President of

Communications for NPHC said. “I think it’s because of the demographic that it’s brushed off,” Robinson-Dear said. “It keeps happening because they know nobody is going to do anything about it. That’s the issue.”

Due to recent social unrest in the United States, the rock had read ‘BLM’ and was put there by members of NPHC. The organization promotes and supports the multicultural students that take part in it. The rock serves as the only place on campus to promote the platforms of their organization. Student Activities and Involvement is in the process of planning how to move forward. Schuneman suggested ideas such as lobbying for a sign to put in front of the rock or security cameras to be installed. “CMU has made a commitment to inclusivity and fighting for what is right,” Schuneman said. “This is blatant racism that happens multiple times a semester right in the middle of campus. Nothing has been done about it. SAI is committed to action; I wish other powerful entities on campus would step up as well.”
