Law enforcement weighs pros, cons of body cameras

By Johnathan Hogan Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Isabella County Sheriff Michael Main said his department is considering equipping deputies with body cameras during patrol.

The cameras would allow for the department to have a safety net against any police action citizens deem egregious.

“Those are definitely a top priority,” Main said. “It’s just another tool to help the community build that trust, that we are doing what we’re supposed to be doing.”

There’s been an increase in calls nationally for officers to wear body cameras after several incidents in which unarmed black men were shot and killed by police officers.

The cost for body cameras ranges from $800 to $1,800 per unit, Main said.

The cameras are good for up to 18 months, requiring police departments to make routine purchases.

Cameras can fall or suffer damages while police are on duty, and high temperatures can also cause damage. Servers to store the recordings can also be costly.

Lake Orion junior Ben Lawlor said he would like to see more officers equipped with body cameras.

“I think they need to be held accountable for their actions,” Lawlor said.

Both city and campus police have considered equipping their officers with body cameras, but have cited costs as an obstacle.

“A lot of people think it’s just ‘here’s the camera,’ and it’s done.

The reality is there’s a lot of other things to it,” said Officer Jeff Browne of the Mount Pleasant Police Department.

Chief Bill Yeagley of the Central Michigan Police Department said he wants to wait and see

“(The cameras) are definitely a top priority. It’s just another tool to help the community build that trust that we are doing what we’re supposed to be doing.”

Michael Main, Isabella County Sheriff

what legislation passes that affects body cameras.

“There’s a number of bills that impact the amount of storage, how long you would have to store video and some of the uses of body cameras,” Yeagley said.

“In my mind it makes very good sense to let the legal system take its course, to come out and tell us what those requirements would be, then give consideration to that as we consider body cameras.”

Yeagley said new technology often leads to lawsuits that shape how that equipment can be used by law enforcement.

Police also cited Freedom of Information Act requests factor into the cost. Privacy concerns, such as when a police officer enters a private residence, may arise and need to be redacted from the video, Yeagley said.

Main said camera footage can take time to review when requested via FOIA. “Whether it’s recorded on audio or video, we have to spend time redacting it,” Main said.

“Unfortunately, some agencies are getting requests to have 30 days’ worth of video. That’s hundreds of hours of manpower.”

Both Browne and Yeagley said the cameras would be an aid to officers, allowing police to collect more evidence.

“I think officers would wel-

come them,” Browne said.

Browne said in his own experience using a dashcam recorder, cameras could help officers accused of wrongdoing.

“People make accusations and say different things, but they’re great evidence too,” Browne said.

“When you’ve got somebody in the back of the car who’s yelling profanities at you as they’re under arrest and how they’re going to do all these nasty, horrible things to you, and then it comes time for a trial and you can play that video of them.”

Student Bereavement Policy offers guidelines to students, faculty

By Ben Agosta Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Students who have lost a loved one will no longer have to worry about how it will impact their grades.

Central Michigan University’s Student Bereavement Policy became official on Oct. 16 when President George Ross signed the proposal, cementing a procedure for when students cannot attend class and miss assignments because of the death of a loved one. “(The policy) provides a framework of expectations for students and faculty members to help guide them in these unfortunate situations,” said Tony Voisin, associate vice president for student affairs.

Students should notify the Office of Student Affairs by phone

(989) 7743346 or email studentaffairs@cmich. edu after the death of their loved ones as soon Tony Voisin as possible, according to the new guideline. They are then supposed to send important “documentation of the passing,” such as an obituary or funeral service card, as soon as possible, the policy states.

The policy will help prevent students from missing credit for an assignment, test or quiz while they are at the funeral of a loved one or at home grieving with their families.

Although most faculty have academically accommodated students who would miss class

for funerals of loved ones, Voisin said this policy makes it easier for both parties.

“Now, we have (the procedure) in writing and it has become official. There are parameters, there are guidelines, there are recommended options for how the instructor and the student can work together — so it develops a procedure,” Voisin said.

The policy states that the students will receive up to three consecutive days off to attend memorial services and provide support to family members. If students need more days off, the policy states the notification of an extended leave must be provided in the initial report created by the Office of Student Affairs. Ultimately, however, Voisin, will be the one to approve or deny the extended leave, according to the policy.

Once the Office of Student

“(The policy) provides a framework of expectations for students and faculty members to help guide them in these unfortunate situations.”

TONY VOISIN

ASSOCIATE VICE PRESIDENT FOR STUDENT AFFAIRS

Affairs approves the student’s leave, an employee of the office will notify the student’s professors or instructors of the absence, according to the policy. Then professors and instructors should work with the student to create an appropriate plan to make up the missed classwork.

The idea of the policy came from Makenzie Wireman, an integrated public relations major who graduated from CMU in 2015, Voisin said. Wireman came

up with the idea for the bereavement policy for a class project and brought it to Voisin’s attention in fall 2014.

During winter break that year, Voisin said he hired Wireman as an employee at the Office of Student Affairs to work on research and conducting surveys regarding the possible bereavement policy.

On Oct. 19, 2015, the Student Government Association’s house and senate amended and supported the policy.

The policy eventually moved up to Steven Johnson, the vice president of Enrollment and Student Services. A member of the president’s cabinet, Johnson brought it before Ross, who signed the policy Oct. 16 of this year.

SGA president Ian Elliot said he is glad the work of former SGA president, Charles Mahone, has come to fruition.

“It was definitely a need on the student and faculty side,” Elliot said.

Saying thank you isn’t enough Honor veterans this week by voting for candidates who support expanded VA healthcare

This week, Central Michigan Life will put our editorial spotlight on America’s future in two distinct ways.

On Tuesday, students, faculty and staff at Central Michigan University will vote for the next President of the United States.

On Friday, we’ll honor the men and women who served or are currently serving in America’s military.

It seems fitting that two days representing a deep sense of national duty should fall on the same week. We vote on Election Day for a candidate for president who we believe will defend our inalienable rights as American citizens.

On Veterans Day, we support the soldiers who defend those

freedoms with their lives.

As a nation, we’ll all say a collective “thank you” to our veterans. We’ll stop a person in uniform to give them a handshake or a hug. We’ll wave flags and post on our social media accounts, all in the spirit of appreciation.

hospital. Most importantly, vote on Nov. 8 for candidates that will help expand access to veterans’ resources like medical and mental health care.

After years of protecting our homeland from threats both foreign and domestic, it’s time for us to fight for soldiers and expand their access to care when they return home.

There were 21 million veterans living in American as of 2015, according to a RAND Corporation study conducted with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. At least 11 percent of those veterans were homeless and without access to health care.

That’s nearly 50,000 veterans in total. Another 20 percent of those veterans from recent

wars suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

The number of vets suffering with mental illness and suicide increases if you include issues like depression or traumatic brain injuries.

VA data shows that Congress spent $167 million on resources for veterans in 2015, including $75 million for pensions and compensation. Only a fraction of that money was allocated to rehabilitation and mental health care — $13 million, to be exact.

Those statistics are alarming.

We must dedicate more taxpayer resources for veterans health care. That starts with voting for lawmakers who will put veterans spending at the forefront of their policy agendas.

EDITORIAL

The 2016 election may go down as one of the most historic and contentious campaign cycle. With issues like immigration policy, legislative gridlock and rampant racial inequality riding on the line, it’s easy for politicians to put the needs of veterans on the back burner.

We owe it to our American service men and women to weigh veterans issues and which candidates are most dedicated veterans’ health care when casting a ballot.

TECH TALK

MacBook has lost its innovative touch without Jobs Technology industry news has been buzzing the last two weeks, especially as Apple faces tough competition from its major competitors. A new Microsoft platform announcement and Apple’s lack of innovation shows it is time to change which company techies view as the leader in global personal computing products.

Microsoft is phasing out of its phone division, but the company is using its collective brain and manpower on an exciting new product that will shake up the entire market.

Connor Byrne Page Designer

The Surface Studio is Microsoft’s new vision for the future of creative design computing. It is known in some circles as the iMac killer. With its own bit of ingenuity, the Surface Studio is exactly what designers have been waiting for since the dawn of the workstation.

Microsoft Surface Studio totes a new, gorgeous, 28-inch interactive display, supposedly the thinnest display in the company’s lineup. The thing isn’t just compact, the entire display is the most interactive workspace you’ll see for the foreseeable future.

For six years I have sufficed with using a cheap graphics tablet to interact with my best designs. Finally, this issue has been streamlined, improved, and nearly perfected with Microsoft’s first iteration.

The Surface Studio houses its

top-of-the-line spec components in the base of the workstation, and frees up the display to adjust on an innovative hinge. .

Designers now have the ability to get up-close and personal with all 13.5 million pixels. Yes, you heard me right, eight figures.

Furthermore, you’ll get to interact with every one of those pixels with a new innovative puck controller, affectionately dubbed as “The Dial.”

The Dial is compatible with not just the Studio itself, but with all Surface products in Microsoft’s

fleet. The Surface pen, an interactive stylus pen which ships with the Surface Pro tablet, is compatible with the Studio as well.

Consumers have never had accessibility to products as innovative and enterprising as this. If you’re a graphic designer, I highly advise running to your nearest Best Buy or electronics store to test the Studio out for yourself. Its going to blow you away.

Meanwhile, what has Apple come up with to confront this challenge? Absolutely nothing.

Apple fails to realize the amount

of time they are wasting giving us the same product, year after year.

The iMac’s lack of touchscreencompatible accessories, and its disregard for specification upgrades, places the former giant dead in the water.

They just aren’t willing, or able, to play ball with its competitors. It also proves that the once mighty Apple is flailing without its founding father, Steve Jobs.

They’ll reap what they sow in the coming years if they continue to go down their dark path of zerosum innovation, or lack thereof.

Letter to the

EDITOR

Stay vigilant against false claims as election season draws to a close TO THE EDITOR: Beware of last-minute election mailings, commercials and Robocalls. They are often filled with inaccuracies, distortions, halftruths, and out-and-out lies. An unanswered lie is often accepted as the truth, so these 11th-hour tactics leave targeted candidates with little chance to respond, and the media with little chance to report on the falsehoods.

The phone calls in particular are only going to get worse as the election nears, especially since politicians conveniently exempted themselves when they created the “No Call List.”

The deceptions go back a long time. In 1992, copies of

lines on property held by Judge Paul Chamberlain were sent anonymously to the press. His opponent denied any involvement, but the Register of Deeds confirmed that the only person to ever get copies of the liens was his opponent’s secretary.

In 2004, State Representative candidate Sharon Tilmann, a past city and then county commissioner was attacked for spending taxpayers’ money, but that is one of the main purposes of local government: to distribute funds to police, fire, building maintenance, etc.

In the 2010 State Representative race, Toni Sessoms was accused of not paying her taxes in June, but they weren’t due until August.

Then there was a robocall from Rep. Gary Glenn, R-Midland, claiming Sessoms was pushing the “homosexual agenda’, along with her ‘homosexual’ campaign manager and assistant manager — except the campaign manager was, and continues to be, happily married to her husband. As for the assistant campaign manager, Sessoms did not have one.

Students, faculty prepare for annual fundraiser ‘Dance United’

By Evan Sasiela Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Michael Greco and Shelby Harris met in a Central Michigan University education course during their freshman year in fall 2013.

The four-year friends are now ready for a new challenge outside the classroom.

Harris and Greco are participating in CMU’s fifth annual Dance United fundraiser on Thursday, Nov. 10 at McGuirk Arena. Dance United is a collaboration between United Way of Gratiot and Isabella counties and CMU. The event has raised more than $75,000 since 2012 and raised $27,000 last year.

There is a VIP reception from 6 to 7 p.m.

Tables of eight cost $400. General admission is a minimum $5 at the door, which opens at 6:45 p.m.

The event features dance performances from CMU students, faculty and staff.

Greco, from Rochester Hills, said he and Harris, from Canton, wanted to get involved to represent Residence Life since coming to CMU. Greco said they were approached by student coordinator Lucie Sertich in April to gauge their interest in participating in the event.

Time commitment and nerves caused Greco to be hesitant at first, but he decided to give it a go.

“Now that I’ve actually gone through the dancing, the practicing and the fundraising, it’s been really exciting to see,” he said. “Even though we’re having fun in the process, we’re going to make a difference in the end, (no matter) how much money we raise.”

Greco and Harris have been practicing at least once a week for more than an hour since the beginning of the fall semester. The duo is coached by Anna Wagner, a former CMU Dance Team member. Greco and Harris selected a remix of Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk” as the track they will dance to.

Harris said once she hears the two-minute, 30-second track play, it makes it easier for her to remember the dance moves. Greco said the duo have added sound effects and created a story to enhance the performance. He declined to comment on what the story would be, calling it a “secret.”

“Definitely for anybody who comes and watches, I think they’ll be amazed at some of the fun moves that we’ve learned in the short span of time,” he said.

The dancers have the luxury of Sertich as a

student coordinator. The Port Sanilac senior danced in the event last year with her partner CMU alumnus Anthony Cavataio, and is helping the event this year by being a resource and giving updates to the teams.

“It’s cool to have been a dancer and know a lot of what they’re going through,” Sertich said.

Harris is a resident assistant in Wheeler Hall and Greco is stationed in Robinson and Barnes halls. While the two are busy with other commitments as students, Greco said he and Harris are focused on setting aside time for the event and putting as much effort into it as possible.

“We’re the kind of people (that) don’t like to get involved with everything,” he said. “We like getting involved in a few things and really putting our effort into it.”

Each team has a goal to raise $1,000 each for the event. Greco said he and Harris are about halfway to their goal. People can donate to their page on United Way’s website.

Sertich said she has seen how the partnership between CMU and United Way has increased with the event since its inception five years ago.

Student veterans receive ‘Gold Star’ treatment while pursuing degrees

By Emily DeRuiter and Johnathan Hogan Staff Reporters news@cm-life.com

W

hen Shelby Township junior Mia Segura puts on her Army uniform each morning before training, in her eyes she embodies a family legacy that symbolizes the protection of freedom.

“I’m an Army brat, so the Army is like a family for me,” she said. “I was surrounded by everyday heroes.”

Segura is a cadet with the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, and chose to serve her country by studying to become an Army officer at Central Michigan University. She wants to make a career of working in the military, like her parents did, and has an interest in either medical school or physical therapy.

She hopes to one day develop prosthetic limbs for soldiers who are injured in combat.

With Veterans Day this Friday, Nov. 11, Segura is one of an estimated 250 students on CMU’s campus who use Veterans Affairs benefits.

The university will be hosting a week of events honoring people like Segura and the other 850 students who use veterans benefits and take courses via the university’s Global Campus programs.

The week will conclude with a Veterans Day Ceremony at 11 a.m. Friday, Nov. 11 in the Biosciences Building auditorium.

More than 5,000 veterans have graduated from CMU since the program’s inception in 1972, with more than 150 of those degrees being awarded to generals and admirals in various branches of the U.S. Military.

These resources are vital to students who defend America’s freedoms, said Duane Kleinhardt, director of CMU’s Veteran’s Resource Center.

“Veterans are a very small population of the over-

all country,” Kleinhardt said. “A very small percentage of people volunteer and lay their life on the line for the country. We owe a great debt of gratitude to those veterans who have made that choice.”

THE GOLD LEVEL STANDARD The Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency officially categorized CMU as a “veteran friendly school.”

To earn this designation, CMU must meet standards dictated by the agency, which set seven baseline standards for these schools across the state of Michigan to meet. CMU meets all seven standards.

These Gold Standard qualifications include: • Establish a process for identification of current student veterans • Have a veteran specific website • Have an active student-run veterans organization • Have veteran-specific career services, resources, advising and/or outcome monitoring.

• Have an on-campus veteran’s coordinator • Have a system to award college credit for prior military training • Monitor and evaluate student veteran graduation rates, transfer rates, and academic retention “(The gold-level standard) sets a bar for institutions of higher education to provide a certain level of service to our veteran students,” Kleinhardt said.“It’s the kinds of things the university does anyway to service our veterans. It just happens we meet those criteria.”

As one of 65 Michigan universities awarded a ‘veteran friendly’ ranking, CMU was one of 44 of those 65 schools to be awarded a gold-level ranking in August.

Some students believe there is room for improvement in the practice of meeting needs outside that criteria.

Cadet Aaishah Hasan said CMU “does a pretty

good job” of meeting a soldier’s needs on campus. The senior from Fling believes CMU communicates with veterans better than most other universities and has more resources to provide.

Something Hasan said she is especially glad for is the military tuition discount for on-campus credit hours. Previously, military individuals studying on campus paid the standard rate of $405 per credit hour, while Global Campus students received a discount.

Now, undergraduate military tuition is $290 per credit hour compared to the $405 non-veterans pay.

Cadet Joe Hymel is a senior from Ohio who enlisted with both the National Guard and Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps. The biggest problem for student veterans is the transition from a rigid military structure to a more relaxed schooling environment, he said. “(In the military) you are told when to wake up, when to go to the bathroom, when to eat, then (transition) to an environment where you

could go to class, or not if you don’t want to,” Hymel said. “It’s totally up to you.”

For veterans experiencing problems transitioning to living on campus, Veteran’s Resource Center has resources available to help students.

The VRC is a “narrow hallway,” said Mio senior Nicholas Badgero, tucked within Warriner Hall. The center’s main function is to provide expertise in the financial side of veteran’s benefits.

They also help certify student courses and let student veterans know about other resources useful to them, like disability services and relevant student organizations.

The office is so small, Badgero said, that furniture would have to be moved to fit a wheelchair inside. For disabled veterans, this could pose a problem.

“It gets pretty crowded in here,” Kleinhardt said.

“Many other universities have veteran lounges, somewhere for student veterans to congregate, talk,

relax or study — the kinds of things that help make students feel welcome on campus.”

There was a plan last school year to move the VRC to Ronan Hall after a remodel was finished.

The remodel was cancelled.

“We are doing our best to provide those brotherhood-types of events, but just like everywhere else, budgets are tight,” Kleinhardt said. “Everyone wants more resources, and I understand that the university has a finite amount.”

A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT The Student Government Association has been working for the past few years on legislation that will benefit veterans. Most recently, the house and senate approved a resolution in early October to create a special veteran orientation program.

The legislation will go before CMU’s Academic Senate, where it will either be approved or denied.

If approved, it will be passed on to President George Ross for his signature.

Another piece of legislation was signed by Ross in late September. This legislation was written by Badgero, and will establish a short-term military service absence policy.

Badgero, the president of the Student Veteran Association, said when servicemen and women are told to go on leave for training or emergency response, professors use “arbitrary judgement” about whether to accept late work or allow makeup tests.

“We had some students at CMU that were called up by the National Guard to go work on the Flint Water Crisis and had varying success working with their professors to be able to do that without impacting their education,” Kleinhardt said.

Not every professor on campus has been willing to work with CMU active members of the military.

“In some cases we have had professors that worked with their guardsmen, and some cases where students had to drop out of class because they were failing and the professor would not give them any sort of extension,” Badgero said.

Hymel was one of those people. He has had to go on leave six or eight times during the school year, and he has kept up with school for the most part.

While he did not fail a class, once a professor would not take a late assignment.

“I do take extended absences for drills because we are training for more dynamic scenarios,” he said. “It’s a pain because it’s not like I didn’t do (my homework). I just have other responsibilities I’m legally accountable for.”

Capt. Adam Betz joined the Michigan Army National Guard after four years serving in the Marine Corps. He said he wanted to remain in the military while studying for his bachelor’s degree in Teaching Education.

Betz was taking a statistics class last spring when he was called to assist with the Flint Water Crisis. He contacted his professor soon after to let him know of his upcoming absence.

“Although he was somewhat understanding of my plight, he was uneducated on the immediacy of the situation and that I would be largely unavailable (via) internet and cell phone access,” Betz said.

The Michigan Army National Guard operated out of the basement of a Flint government building with no cell phone service while operating 18 hours a day working as the logistics response officer, an environment Betz said made it impossible to work

ON CM-LIFE.COM

on homework for the week he was gone in January.

Betz said he considered dropping the course after returning from Flint. He managed to pass the class with a B, and his instructor was helpful.

“It did present a very difficult environment for me to ‘crunch’ and study as well as submit group course work once the Flint activation was over,” Betz said. “It created stress that was not necessary had the instructor been correctly educated by the department.”

Jody Hassen, the executive director of Off-Campus Student Services, said the new short term military service policy can help in situations like Betz’s.

With the new policy, students can speak to Tony Voisin, associate vice president for Student Affairs, to arrange military absence and coordinate with instructors. The new policy went into effect on Oct. 16 when it was signed.

LOOKING FORWARD SGA is working on a new piece of legislation in support of giving student veterans priority course registration.

“This would make sure veterans can get in the classes they need when they need to get into them, because the GI Bill is based on time,” Badgero said.

“You have to take 12 credits, and the bill will not cover courses that are not in your major.”

Another upcoming resolution is in support of mandated Kognito online training for faculty

and staff. Kognito is a company that provides virtual-reality scenarios of veterans and university faculty interacting in different situations.

Badgero said this makes sure university employees know how to respond when a veteran has a problem. The program has been available at CMU for a couple of years, but only 667 people have taken it since it was first introduced to CMU. While progress is being made to make sure veterans are accommodated on campus, Badgero believes there is still more to do. Kleinhardt said CMU is doing all that it can for those in uniform.

“Specific programs the university provides to veterans just show the university’s desire to service that population,” Kleinhardt said. “It’s important for the university to show their support for those veterans because our way of life as we know it, our ability for any of us to come to CMU is dependent on the actions of those veterans who chose to serve their country. (The university) respects those that have taken an oath to lay their lives on the line for our country.”

Last season, Marcus Keene could only watch from the sideline as the Central Michigan men’s basketball team finished the season with a final record of 17-16.

The junior guard and Youngstown State transfer had to sit out the entire 2015-16 season due to NCAA transfer rules.

On Saturday, Keene made his CMU debut, scoring a team-high 32 points as the Chippewas defeated Slippery Rock University 91-74 in an exhibition game at McGuirk Arena.

Keene went 4-of-4 from 3-point range in the first three minutes as the Chippewas jumped out to a 12-2 advantage.

“It feels good,” Keene said. “I wasn’t nervous or anything like that. I was anxious for this day for a whole year.”

After missing the entire 2015-16 season due to a torn ACL, senior forward Blake Hibbitts entered the game with 12:48 left in the first half, receiving a warm reception from the crowd. The Hudsonville native finished with three points and two rebounds.

“It’s great to have somebody out there not only with his experience but with his leadership,” said Head Coach Keno Davis of Hibbitts. “It’s nice that he’s going to be finish is career off playing (basketball). It’s another way for him to make his mark on the program and on the team.”

Slippery Rock cut the lead to three, 39-36, in the first half and trailed 43-39 at halftime. Keene said the coaching staff got on the team at halftime about a lack of rebounding and intensity of play.

“We wanted to set the tempo in the second half

about playing hard on the defensive end of the floor,” he said.

Davis said the exhibition contest was aimed at gauging where his team was heading into the season opener Indiana University Kokomo at 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 11 in Mount Pleasant.

“In scheduling an exhibition game, especially at the point where we are in our program, we wanted to challenge ourselves and make sure we not only brought in a quality opponent but somebody that would give us something to really work on,” Davis said. “I was very pleased with our guys’ energy and effort, and yet we know we have to continue to try and get better as the season goes on.”

In addition to Keene’s 32 points, junior forward Luke Meyer added 14 points and junior forward Cecil Williams scored 10, while pulling down six rebounds and knocking down 8-of-12 free throws in his first start.

Senior guard Braylon Rayson was held to seven points, three of which came on free throws. Keene knows when Rayson gets going, the two can be a dominant duo.

“Obviously, I know (Rayson) can get hot quickly,” Keene said. “I know he’s feeling (it) right now. He’s probably going to get back in the gym and come Friday, he’s going to light it up.”

After losing in the first round of Mid-American Conference Tournament last season, Meyer said he forgot about the past a long time ago and is ready to move into the future.

“I feel like every day we get better at something, which is the goal,” Meyer said. “I think we’ve done that so far. We may struggle in one area, but we get better in others. As long as we keep doing that, we’ll be a pretty good team.”

MAC announces new diversity, inclusion program for fall 2017

By McKenzie Sanderson Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

In an effort to increase the acceleration and growth of minority candidates for collegiate job opportunities, the Mid-American Conference announced last week its new diversity and inclusion program, which will begin next fall.

The program is designed to provide educational career opportunities for a diverse pool of candidates, career entry and advancement opportunities, best hiring practices and career mentoring programs.

“I am pleased to see our membership take a leadership position and embrace an action plan in the area of diversity and inclusion,” said MAC Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher. “This plan is a starting point, developed through intensive study and debate over the past year and a half. Our membership believes this will be a framework for growing a more diverse work force, in both coaching and administration, in intercollegiate athletics. This is the appropriate goal and one which will foster a more inclusive environment.”

In fall 2015, Steinbrecher instituted a 15-member group comprised of university administrators, senior athletic administrators and faculty athletic representatives to present to MAC membership recommendations for the comprehensive program.

Bernard Franklin, executive vice president of education and community engagement for the NCAA said he was pleased the MAC and NCAA could come together to support the new program.

“The NCAA inclusion office is pleased to partner with the MAC and offer support,” he said. “The

MAC’s direction with this new venture highlights its intention to be a progressive body that embraces diverse audiences, which includes current and prospective student-athletes and staff.”

The MAC Diversity and Inclusion program includes six initiatives:

within collegiate athletics.

Jon Steinbrecher

1. OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON DIVERSITY & INCLUSION As a core value, the Mid-American Conference believes in and is committed to diversity, inclusion and gender equity among its student-athletes, coaches, staff and administrators. We seek to establish and maintain an inclusive culture that fosters equitable participation for student-athletes and career opportunities for coaches and administrators from diverse backgrounds. Diversity and inclusion improve the learning environment for all student-athletes and enhance excellence within the Conference.

The MAC will provide or enable programming, education and outreach which sustains foundations of a diverse and inclusive culture across dimensions of diversity.

2. DIVERSITY & INCLUSION INTERNSHIPS The MAC and its member institutions will provide 25 annual internships, which will include two internships each year on each MAC campus and one within the Conference office. These internships will provide new career entry opportunities to a diverse group of students interested in pursuing a career

Winless weekend drops volleyball to ninth in Mid-American Conference

By McKenzie Sanderson Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

After being swept by Western Michigan on Friday, the Central Michigan volleyball team finished its Mid-American conference road trip with a 3-1 loss at Northern Illinois on Saturday night.

With two games left in the regular season, the Chippewas (9-17, 3-11 MAC) are tied with Eastern Michigan for ninth place in the MAC. The Broncos improved to 10-17 overall and 5-9 in the conference with its 2-0 run last weekend.

Head coach Mike Gawlik said the Chippewas were disappointed after Friday’s loss and

needed to adjust their mindset heading into Saturday.

CMU opened its match against MAC Westleading NIU with a 25-23 victory in the first set. The Huskies responded winning the next three sets, 25-21, 25-15, 25-15 to claim the match.

“They’re a hard team to beat but that’s the MidAmerican Conference and that’s what we signed up for,” Gawlik said.

The Chippewas will play Eastern Michigan at 7 p.m. on Thursday at the Convocation Center in Ypsilanti. The Chippewas defeated the Eagles in five sets earlier in the season.

CMU will host Ohio (14-12, 10-4 MAC) on Saturday at 7 p.m. to close the regular season.

3. MAC DIVERSITY & INCLUSION MENTORING PROGRAM The MAC Diversity & Inclusion Mentoring Program will pair athletic department senior staff members or department head as mentors with younger administrators as mentees. The mentors and mentees will engage in academic year-long programming, which will include regular scheduled meetings, monthly conference calls with all Conference mentors and mentees, along with attendance at the annual MAC Spring Joint Meetings in Cleveland.

4. DIVERSITY & INCLUSION SUMMIT The MAC will institute a bi-annual Summit, which will begin in the fall of 2017, centered on the issues of diversity and inclusion. The MAC will partner with the NCAA Office of Inclusion, led by Dr. Bernard Franklin, in an effort to provide the following: · Educate a diverse group of MAC students, interns, graduate assistants on career opportunities in collegiate athletics. · Train and educate a diverse group of MAC assistant coaches and administrators on advancement

opportunities in collegiate athletics. · Share best hiring practices with MAC head coaches and senior administrators relative to diversity and inclusion efforts. · Share best hiring practices with campus human resources and diversity officers. · Educate institutions on creating a campus culture of diversity.

5. DIVERSITY & INCLUSION WEBPAGE The MAC will create a webpage dedicated to the issue of diversity and inclusion to serve as a resource for students, coaches and administrators.

This webpage will include a career resource guide, listing of MAC, NCAA and national programs and opportunities, intra-conference job sharing, resume posting and messaging and links to other institutional diversity & inclusion websites.

6. DIVERSITY & INCLUSION A WARDS PLATFORM Each year, the MAC will present an awards platform to recognize outstanding achievements in diversity & inclusion within the conference.

CMU football’s three-game losing streak by the numbers

By Austin Denean Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

For the third consecutive week, the Central Michigan football team was unable to become bowl eligible, falling to Miami (Ohio) 37-17 on Friday.

MU’s offense proved to be too much for CMU to keep up with, as the RedHawks ran away with a victory at Yager Stadium.

The Chippewas fell to 5-5 overall (2-4 Mid-American Conference) and have a bye this week.

After starting the season 3-0, CMU has won two of its last seven games. Here’s a breakdown of the team’s three-game losing streak by the numbers.
