LIFE IN BRIEF

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

JUDGES RECUSE THEMSELVES IN ELLIOTT CASE, NEW VISITING JUDGE SOUGHT During a motion hearing in the sexual assault case against former Student Government Association President Ian Elliott, two judges recused themselves.

The Michigan Attorney General’s Office reinstated charges against Elliott on Oct. 31. Elliott, 24, of Cheboygan, was originally charged with two felony counts of sexual misconduct in the third degree and one felony count of assault with attempt to penetrate.

Isabella County Trial Court Judge Mark Duthie opened up the hearing on Dec. 3 by talking about a previous conversation he had with defense attorney Joe Barberi, who is now representing Elliott.

Duthie said he had discussed the Elliott case with Barberi, mentioning the story published by Central Michigan Life on Oct. 11, which detailed the account of graduate student Rachel Wilson, who said Elliott allegedly sexually assaulted her on Sept. 1, 2016.

With this, Duthie said he felt he couldn’t rule on the case since he had had conversations about the case and the story.

“While we were talking about the elections, I mentioned the article that I read in the paper. I brought that issue up,”

Duthie said. “I thought that when I read the article, that it didn’t really make the prosecutor’s office look very good. I talked about the article from the perspective of whether it may have an impact on the upcoming election of prosecutors.”

While the case had been dismissed for about six months, Duthie said he would have never brought the subject up if he believed the Attorney General’s Office was going to file a motion to reinstate the charges.

“So based on the conversation I had concerning the newspaper article about this case, I do not believe it would be appropriate for me to rule on any issue regarding this case,” Duthie said.

After Duthie recused himself, the motion hearing was brought to Judge Paul Chamberlain, who also recused himself.

Chamberlain did not go on the record and did not provide a reason for his recusal.

A new, visiting judge must now be found to rule on the case. Until that judge is identified, there is no date for the next hearing.

PROVOST GEALT ANNOUNCES DECISION TO STEP DOWN, EFFECTIVE JUNE 30, 2019 Michael Gealt, Central Michigan University’s executive vice president and provost, announced his decision to step down from his position, effective June 30, 2019.

His choice to step down was announced on Dec. 3. Gealt will continue his employment through Dec. 31, 2019 as provost emeritus as the university searches for his replacement.

“I have been proud to serve as provost at CMU, a leading national research university with top academic programs,” Gealt said in the press release. “The university has continued to excel in areas such as STEM, business and health care, and the excellence of our liberal arts programs ensures CMU students are able to succeed in their desired career path.”

In the announcement, President Robert Davies expressed his respect for the provost.

“During his tenure at Central Michigan, Dr. Gealt has been a champion of student success, excellent teaching and nationally

recognized research endeavors,” he said.

“His contributions to our university will live on for years to come.”

Davies said he will appoint a search committee for Gealt’s replacement before the holidays and plans to have a provost in place by July, according to the press release.

Gealt held positions at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, Purdue University Calumet — now Purdue University Northwest — and Drexel University. Gealt received his bachelor’s degree in biology from Temple University and his doctorate in microbiology from Rutgers University.

During his time at CMU, Gealt saw the graduation of the first two College of Medicine classes and helped the College of Medicine receive full accreditation from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education.

Trustees discuss residence hall improvements, advising updates Mary Senter. “I have students that have difficulty with technical skills, basic technical skills, communicative skills.”

Trustee Robert Wardrop II suggested faculty bring outside entities into the classroom to explain the importance of learning skills outside of a student’s major.

“Words matter,” said Trustee Richard Studley, referring to the importance of communication skills.

“Maybe we shouldn’t describe these as ‘soft skills.’

These are success skills; these are survival skills.”

By Courtney Pedersen Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Central Michigan University trustees gathered Dec. 5 to attend committee meetings and discuss upcoming proposals.

At the formal board of trustees meeting at 8:30 a.m.

Dec. 6, trustees will vote on a requirement for all students to reside on campus for freshman and sophomore year.

According to CMU’s Residency Policy, sophomores are only required to live on campus if they receive a merit- or talent-based scholarship of $2,500 or more, or if they have not completed 24 credit hours by the end of their first year.

By the time the requirement goes into effect, CMU will have 5,725 beds on campus. For the two-year requirement, 5,584 beds will be needed, based on an estimated 2,800 first-time freshman population.

ACADEMIC AND STUDENT AFFAIRS Trustees received updates on reorganization and changes in the College of Science and Engineering.

Ian Davison, interim senior vice provost for academic affairs, began the Academic and Student Affairs Committee meeting by updating the board of trustees about reorganizing academic advising at CMU. Davison presented a plan to increase the number of advisers on campus and to update advising technology. The university employs 30 advisers, but the plan suggests hiring 20 additional advisers. The new technology would help organize individual student profiles, and notify advisers when students’ grades drop. The plan encourages advisers to become more proactive and aims to improve student retention.

The idea for these improvements came after Davison visited Georgia State University, which has a retention rate “upwards of 90 percent.”

“The plan is to pay more attention to students’ success in their first semester, while helping them in the transitioning period into university life,” he said.

Cody Scanlan | Staff Photographer Vice President for Finance and Administrative Services Barrie Wilkes introduces a three-year plan to renovate residence halls on Dec. 5 in the President’s Conference Room.

Jane Davison, interim dean of the College of Science and Engineering, discussed the addition of the Environmental Engineering program, which is still going through the approval process. She also said a goal for the College of Science and Engineering is to increase the number of women and minorities enrolled in the college.

FINANCE AND FACILITIES Vice President of Finance and Administrative Services Barrie Wilkes presented a $76 million three-year plan for Residence Life: “To sustain CMU as Central Michigan’s primary residential university.”

The first part of the project includes demolishing Barnes Hall, and focusing on increasing safety in North and South campus. The second year will include improving North and South campus

more, renovating the Robinson Residential Restaurant and developing plans to demolish and replace the Kewadin Village and Northwest Apartment Complexes. The final year will cost $42 million, and includes modernizing the South quad, and adding a wellness center to North campus.

“If something changes dramatically three years out, we would have the ability to change directions,” Wilkes said.

Associate Vice President of Facilities Management Jonathan Webb provided updates on two ongoing construction projects. The Center for Integrated Health Studies is currently 35 percent complete, and Webb said it remains on schedule and within its $26 million budget.

A construction manager was

hired for the Chippewa Champions Alumni Center. The upper level of the building will be the alumni center, and the two lower levels will include a welcome center, student athlete training laboratories and meeting rooms. The project will also include a video scoreboard that will be completed over the summer and ready for the next football season.

TRUSTEES-FACULTY LIAISON COMMITTEE The College of Business Administration SAP Alliance Program was highlighted at the Trustees-Faculty Liaison Committee meeting.

Business information systems faculty member Steve Tracy delivered the CMU “Point of Pride” presentation, highlighting the success of CMU’s chapter of the program.

SAP is a software that teach-

es students how to integrate different business processes into the learning experience.

CMU has certified more students in the SAP program than any other university in the world, Tracy said.

After the presentation, the committee discussed the importance of “soft skills” in CMU curriculum, and making sure students understand these skills are as important as the technical skills of a major. Soft skills include communication, writing and critical thinking.

The committee addressed the fact that students might not recognize the importance of taking University Program courses, which help build those “soft skills.”

“One dilemma we have is whether students recognize importance of these skills,” said sociology faculty member

TRUSTEES-STUDENT LIAISON COMMITTEE Student Government Association President Jake Hendricks presented the SGA President’s report at the Trustees-Student Liaison Committee meeting.

Hendricks said SGA is currently working to create an environment where students want to be a part of the community. He addressed recent incidents on campus involving offensive messages left on dorm white boards.

Going forward, he said, the most important thing is to support those targeted. In a further response to these events, SGA plans to host diversity events addressing these issues.

SGA Vice President Lyndi Rose introduced several ideas for a fall break. These include having a Monday and Tuesday off after midterms, but before Thanksgiving.

Rose said the administration would be tasked with how to make up that class time.

Residence Hall Assembly Director Mary St. John described an effort to add diverse artwork in residence halls that would better portray the students that lived there. St. John also discussed RHA surveys that showed students were not meeting goals in learning selfmanagement. These results showed students struggled with money management and school-life balance.

Transphobic message found on RA’s whiteboard in Robinson Hall

By Rachael Yadlowsky Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

On Nov. 20, another incident of discrimination occurred at Central Michigan University in the form of a message on a dorm room whiteboard.

This time the message was transphobic, targeting a transgender student who lives in Robinson Residence Hall.

When sophomore and Resident Assistant Jace Parker, woke up the Wednesday before Thanksgiving break, he didn’t expect to be sent a picture of a transphobic message on the message board outside his door.

The words, “piece of shit transie RA” were written on the board the night of “Transgender Day of Awareness,” a day meant to honor the memory of those who lost their lives to anti-transgender violence.

A woman, who Parker did not disclose the name of, erased the message after taking the picture and sending it to Parker. He said that when the message was brought to his attention, he felt “outraged, vulnerable and concerned.”

This incident mirrors the Nov. 7 incident, when Sweeney Hall resident Yasmeen Duncan found the words, “Fuck u monkey black whores” written on her whiteboard. She made the incident public via Facebook.

Less than 24 hours later, CMU President Robert Davies, the Office of LGBT services and the CMU chapter of the NAACP released statements regarding the incident.

After the holiday break, Parker went to the CMU Office of Civil Rights and Institutional Equality (OCRIE) on Wednesday, Nov. 28 to report the incident.

He said that when he first met with OCRIE, they were professional. A few days later,

“

“This one word impacts me to the extent that I walked into the room after the fact and just wanted to pick up and leave. I have never felt so targeted. I have never felt so invalidated in my life.”

-Jace Parker Sophomore, RA at CMU a Facebook post by CMU was made at 6:50 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 2 addressing the incident.

“I said very clearly that I wanted this to be as public as possible and (OCRIE) stated that the post was late due to a miscommunication, or something along those lines,” Parker said. “And that kind of pissed me off because how can they miscommunicate something that’s important to me?”

Central Michigan Life reached out to OCRIE, for comment for this story.

On Saturday, Dec. 1, Parker decided not to wait for the university to release a statement and made a post on his Facebook page, with a photo of the whiteboard message attached.

“This is not only just a word that is written on a board because an individual wasn’t strong enough or brave enough to say it. This word is a direct shot at one the most important identity that I hold,” stated part of the post. “This is never okay, I don’t care what kind of discrimination you face, ANY and ALL discrimination is unjustifiable.

“Another thing, CMU isn’t the typical ‘home away from home’ to me, CMU is my home... Robinson is the place that I felt the safest because of the high rate of diversity

it holds and the amount of acceptance that was shown prior to this... This one word impacts me to the extent that I walked into the room after the fact and just wanted to pick up and leave. I have never felt so targeted. I have never felt so invalidated in my life.”

In his post, Parker explains that the words written were not “just words.” He wants others to imagine themselves in his place.

“This is my home, imagine walking into your home to a word written on your wall that targets one of your main identities... How would you feel? This is not just a word, this isn’t just a prank, this isn’t acceptable.”

Parker said that there needs to be more action taken against these acts of discrimination.

“This can’t keep happening,” he said. “I would really like to see a more tangible change come out of this.”

The next day, a post was made on the CMU Facebook, with the help of Parker, addressing the indictment.

“Make no mistake: Central Michigan University stands with Jace Parker and all transgender members of our community,” the post stated.

“We were dismayed and deeply saddened later that day to learn of a hostile expression directed toward one

of our own on a residence hall message board. We condemn this bigotry in the strongest terms. As President Davies said in a Nov. 8 communication to campus, hateful messages are an attack not just on individuals, but on all of us.”

The post goes on to list the number of resources that students affected by discrimination can reach out to and concludes with, “to all of our transgender students, faculty, staff and alumni: CMU stands with you. We hear you. We’re proud of you. We support you.”

Parker said that he would like to use this incident to bring awareness of transphobia and to educate people about the transgender community.

CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE | CM-LIFE.COM

Welcome to CMU,

Coach McElwain Congratulations to Jim McElwain on being hired as Central Michigan University’s 29th head football coach.

We welcome you to our campus. We look forward to you and your family becoming a part of our community. The temperature in Mount Pleasant might not be as warm as Florida or Alabama, but we think you’ll soon see how much our small town has to offer.

We wish you good luck as you begin your journey as the Chippewas head coach. Hopefully, you will be able to help turn our football team around and lead them through a successful 2019 season.

Courtesy Photo | CMU Athletics Jim McElwain was announced as Central Michigan football’s head coach on Sunday, Dec. 2.

While winning games and having a good record is important, don’t forget that there is a lot more to being a football coach at our university.

Your predecessor, John Bonamego, was beloved in the CMU community. For the first time in a long time, we had a football coach who was truly passionate about our university, its traditions and connecting with the Chippewa community.

Here’s the thing coach, our students love athletics.

We support our teams and our student athletes. We know they pay a price to be on those teams, including intense training and prioritizing sports over social life.

But we pay a price as well.

That price is about $22 million a year. That’s how much the university subsidizes the $29 million athletics budget.

That’s money that comes from CMU’s general fund — which is a mix of donations, state tax dollars and our tuition dollars.

EDITORIAL Students have been accused of not showing school spirit if they don’t attend games. Whether we like it or not, our dollars end up supporting your team and all the other teams that represent CMU. So give us a team we can cheer for. That’s a team – players and coaches — that plays with integrity, holds themselves accountable, sets high standards and behaves in ways we can be proud of even when they do lose a game.

We don’t want to see our Chippewas fighting with other football teams. We want you to recruit students who want to be here — not just convincing graduate transfers from Big Ten universities to come play in Mount

Pleasant for one season.

We’re paying for this.

Make us feel like you’re here working for us; not just working for yourself, for your next job at a bigger school.

Make us believers.

One final piece of advice. As you begin your time here, take a page out of Bonamego’s playbook: Building strong relationships will determine your overall success.

This isn’t about wins and losses. Get to know the players as people. Explore our campus and meet the students who you want to see in the stands on their turf. Get to know people in the community because you will need their support too.

Understand that student media is not there to be a cheerleader for you, but we do have a interest in your success and in recording the successes and failures of each season.

We’ll be rooting for you, coach. But you need to be rooting for us too.

Minimalism — own less to find more meaning in your When I used to live in the dorms, I would occasionally walk by one of my neighbors’ open doors and notice there was almost nothing inside the room. It looked as barren as the day we moved in.

I could appreciate the lifestyle choice, but at the time I was convinced it wasn’t for me. I love my stuff too much.

As I’ve moved several times in the last few years, I have been thinking an awful lot about all the stuff I own. I think about the appeal of living in a van someday to travel and see the world, but all of my belongings are a limiting factor in that scenario.

I think about how devastated I would be if my home burned down or a natural disaster swept it all away. I think about the attachment I have to my belongings and how it distracts me from more important things in life.

So, I am trying to get to a different state of mind – minimalism – and hoping to bring you with me. In the last year or so, it seems the idea of minimalism has grown more popular, or perhaps it has been that my interest has grown stronger.

Ashley Schafer Staff Reporter

After watching “Minimalism: A Documentary About the Important Things” on Netflix, I am convinced minimalism is what America needs.

My favorite quote from the documentary was by architect Frank Mascia, “Nothing is more responsible than living in the smallest space you possibly can.”

This is the idea that we don’t need large, extravagant homes filled with pretty and meaningless things. While these are marvels and symbols of social status, it is not responsible to live this way. The tiny home fad may just be one of the best things to happen to humanity.

I like the idea of minimalism for several reasons.

First, it is an extremely sustainable way to live. Just about everything we buy

over the course of our lifetime remains on this planet forever. You may have discarded those old toys as a kid, but they were merely relocated to a landfill somewhere, taking up precious space.

And that goes for every product on every shelf in every store across the country, whether you buy it or not.

Minimalism is also potentially a way to save money. I say potentially because you may find yourself spending more money on fewer objects in favor of quality over quantity. However, that nice shirt you pay $40 for should last you several years, as opposed to one season from a $10 shirt.

It’s easier said than done, but changing your mindset to buy only the things you need will save you money. This means no compulsive spending, avoiding trendy clothing and sticking to the essentials.

One unexpected benefit of minimalism is the communal aspect. Ever heard the cliché of borrowing sugar from the neighbors? Let’s get back to that. Rather than buying a new dress for a special occasion, borrow one from a friend. Share the resources that

already exist. This will help keep the demand for certain products down, and increase the interactions you share with friends, family and neighbors.

I like the idea that minimalism could combat consumerism, which as I see it, has clouded our minds, and distracted us from what truly matters. Online shopping, seasonal fashion and ridiculous fads have people convinced they need to own more to be happy.

“If I buy this I will be happier,” is a thought I know many people have, myself included. Minimalism is a way to combat that myth.

I would not consider myself a minimalist, but I am striving towards that mindset to bring more meaning into my life. Minimalism is all about putting your time, money and energy into things that matter more than material objects, like people.

To me, minimalism isn’t necessarily about owning nothing. It’s a mindset that if practiced long enough, and with devotion, leads to less attachment. And according to Buddha, attachment is the root of suffering.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

SGA wants to create meaningful dialogue with students TO THE EDITOR: The Central Michigan University Student Government Association (SGA) hears Central Michigan Life.

As an organization, SGA must work together with campus partners to reach out to students, so that their voices are amplified, creating positive change.

SGA is a group of 215 active, passionate members of the community, who work together to create this positive change. As the largest organization on campus, SGA is composed of three branches: House, Senate, and Cabinet.

These branches work collectively to pass legislation, organize initiatives, and act on student priorities.

The House consists of more than 100 elected representatives from different RSOs on campus. We encourage these representatives to take back pieces of legislation, and information on initiatives to their respective RSO, collecting feedback from students. These House members are the voices of more than 7,000 students who are involved in RSOs on our campus, according to data from OrgSync.

The Senate is composed of representatives from each college, who work tirelessly to table within their respective colleges, and write impactful legislation. In conjunction with the House and Senate, the Cabinet consists

of 25 individuals, who are appointed by the Executive Board, with advice and consent of the general body. These members serve as committee chairs, coordinators and directors.

From the beginning of this semester, SGA has made a dedicated effort to increase our partnership with CM Life. Throughout this semester, we have seen increased coverage of the initiatives, legislation and projects that SGA has created. This relationship has allowed us to reach a greater number of students with our promotion. As a result, I have seen the highest amount of coverage throughout my past three years as a CMU student and as a member of SGA. As an organization, SGA is built to be inclusive of different representative groups on campus. Our meetings are open to the public, and we actively seek student feedback from the community. This year we hosted the second annual Student Body Town Hall, an event that drew in about 40 students to the Sarah and Daniel Opperman Park Library Auditorium, and 314 views on Facebook. These types of events are promoted through tabling, hanging up posters in the academic buildings and residence halls, reaching out to professors, postings on social media and working with CM Life; which has

greatly improved the effectiveness of our communication with the student body this semester.

We recognize that there is always room for improvements in our communication. SGA is always working to improve communication with students. This year, Melissa Frick, CM Life’s SGA reporter, has written outstanding and accurate coverage of our organization. This fair and unbiased coverage allows us to identify ways that we can improve our communication to reach more students.

This semester we have worked tirelessly to engrain the student body voice into our actions and decisions.

For the first time in recent history, SGA has worked collaboratively with Residence Hall Assembly (RHA), Program Board (PB) and the National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH) to put on the Golden Gala. This event drew in 450 guests, most of whom were CMU students. The success of this event demonstrates that as an organization, we are creating valuable partnerships and promoting SGA in a way we have not seen done before.

Reaching out to students and amplifying their voices is the purpose of any student government. In SGA, we ensure that student voices are central to our decision-making process, which

is why we have implemented a process relating to proposed legislation. Once legislation is proposed, there is a week period provided to House members, so they can share the proposed legislation and gather feedback from their respective organizations, prior to a vote. As legislation would affect the student body, our meetings are always open to members of the public. They occur Mondays from 7-9 p.m. in the Bovee University Center Auditorium.

As an organization, we will continue to reach out to CM Life, CMU administration and student groups on our campus. SGA is dedicated to providing inclusive and meaningful student representation. As we continue into the next semester, we will seek to strengthen our partnerships with organizations, such as Residence Hall Assembly, Program Board and National Residence Hall Honorary.

As a CMU student, I am proud of the work SGA has completed this semester. We have made a lot of progress on campus and we will continue to advocate on behalf of the student body. This organization has truly demonstrated that we can amplify the voices of our fellow students.

-JAKE HENDRICKS, President of SGA

Academic Senate addresses Bonamego buyout, hate incidents

By Samantha Shriber Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Academic Senate’s Dec. 4 meeting served as a platform to discuss the costs of Division I athletics and incidents of intolerance on campus.

Included in former head football coach John Bonamego’s 2017 contract extension is a $1.125 million buyout.

About a year after the extension, Bonamego was fired on Nov. 23. It was later reported by Central Michigan Life that Bonamego’s buyout is $834,000. The former coach already received $400,000 on Dec. 1, 2018. He will also be given $300,000 on Feb. 1, 2019 and $134,000 on March 1, 2019.

Senator Benjamin Heumann, of geography and environmental studies, who took issue with the contract buyout said “what other things cost (more than) $1 million?” to comment on the cost of DI athletics.

Heumann crafted a list of expenditures after evaluating Central Michigan University’s 2017-18 budget. Among the programs he found: • Annual operations at the Office

for Institutional Diversity and Inclusion cost $1.3 million • Academic Advising services cost $1.4 million • Every computer purchased for CMU totaled $1.1 million • Operations for the entire Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences cost $1.6 million Heumann also pointed out that CMU experienced a budget deficit of $20 million in March 2017, making him wonder how the university is able to afford such “million dollar changes” less than two years later.

President Robert Davies said the money for the transition to hire new head coach Jim McElwain with a five-year, $400,000 base salary is paid strictly by projected football revenue. Senator Michael Mamp, of the Department of Human Environmental Studies, questioned if such costs are justifiable.

“I wonder if we’ve hit a point in our time as a university (that) we should have a greater investigation on the value of Division I athletics to our school and what that costs to us,” Mamp said.

Samantha Shriber | Staff Reporter President Robert Davies speaks to Academic Senate during the final meeting of the fall semester on Dec. 4 in Pearce 127.

The nature of American society will always have an immense value of athletics, Davies said, whether he agrees with it or not.

“I’m not going to provide an answer of if it’s the right thing or if it’s the wrong thing, but there is a very important role (for) athletics,” Davies said. “My grandmother used to always say you are compared to who you play with. It is important to be (interested in the) circumstances of who we are playing with and who we are being with.”

During his address to the senate, Davies was asked to provide further insight on the Nov. 20 incident of

discrimination against a transgender student who lives in Robinson Hall.

The Nov. 20 incident was the second of its kind this semester.

A racist message was written on a whiteboard in Sweeney Hall and targeted a group of African American women. White nationalist propaganda was also found distributed across campus.

“Each instance needs to be discussed with the individual and each instance is a unique response,” Davies said. “Let it be known, in all cases the (relevant) offices are working with those immediately.”

Some senators expressed

• Pets welcome • Indoor heated pool • 24-hour maintenance • Electric, Gas, Heat, A/C, trash, and water included

concern that CMU waited until after evidence from each of the incidents were posted on social media before officially responding. Davies said it is important for all members of the university community to be more weary of online outlets.

“We have to be mindful that having a strong response invites others (and) that needs to be weighed into the circumstances,” Davies said, explaining that reasons to not go public are primarily set to further preserve the safety and well-being of the affected students and communities.

Everything you need to know about marijuana regulation, possession and use on and off campus

By Isaac Ritchey Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Recreational marijuana is legal in Michigan after voters approved Proposal One in the November midterm elections. Legalization goes into effect today, Dec. 6.

The passage of Proposal One amended state and local law, allowing people who are at least 21 years old to possess and use recreational marijuana. The proposal also creates the framework for how the government will administer and enforce the legislation.

Vermont was the first state to pass legislation to legalize marijuana. The District of Columbia and nine other states followed – Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Washington and Oregon. Michigan became the tenth state to legalize marijuana in November.

While marijuana is now legal statewide, Central Michigan University will not allow staff, faculty, students or visitors to possess marijuana under any circumstance on campus. That includes medical marijuana.

In a letter to the CMU community following the Nov. 6 general election, President Robert Davies addressed marijuana’s place on campus. There isn’t one, he stressed.

“Using, distributing and possessing marijuana remains illegal under federal law,” Davies said in his letter. “Our campus policies comply with federal law, including the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 and the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989. These acts require the university, as a recipient of federal funds, to take measures to combat the use of drugs and alcohol.”

Students could be subject to discipline or corrective action upon violating the university’s policies, Davies said. The maximum penalty is dismissal.

For off-campus users, this is what you will need to know: 1. Much like alcohol and tobacco, Marijuana will be regulated.

Like alcohol, it is only legal for those 21 years of age or older to purchase or use marijuana. It is also illegal to “transfer” or give marijuana to people younger than 21 years old.

While the effect of cannabis on drivers continues to be studied and debated, users are prohibited from operating, navigating or being in physical control of any motor vehicle while under the influence of marijuana. Smoking marijuana is also illegal in passenger areas.

Like tobacco, businesses, landlords and employers are able to prohibit the use of marijuana on property they own, occupy or manage. Employers may fire, discipline or refuse to hire employees who test positive for marijuana and may perform random drug tests.

2. Legal amount of possession Those over 21 years old are allowed to “possess, use, transport or process 2.5 ounces or less of marijuana or 15 grams of marijuana concentrate,” according to the proposal.

Users can also legally grow up to 12 marijuana plants for personal consumption. A 10-ounce limit will be imposed for marijuana kept at residences. Amounts over 2.5 ounces, whether at home or in a car, are required to be secured in locked containers.

3. You will be able to buy marijuana products The city of Mount Pleasant has yet to decide whether it will allow recreational provisioning centers, grow operations and processing centers for recreational marijuana. Those interesting in purchasing marijuana can shop at cannabis stores in Bay City, Beaverton, Linwood and Lansing.

Nearest dispensaries to Mount Pleasant: • Cannaisseur (3200 N. East St., in

.

Lansing) • Dispo Provisioning Center (3843 N. Euclid Ave., in Bay City) • Greenways Provisioning Center (4566 M-30, in Beaverton) • Uncle Buds Dispensary (11 S. Huron Rd., in Linwood) • Capital City MMP (1430 E. Michigan Ave., in Lansing) 4. Where you can smoke marijuana is also regulated Marijuana can only be smoked within a user’s residence, on private property or in business zones. Offenders could be faced with a $100 fine if caught. Semi-private places, like front or back porches, yards

and parked cars remain legal grey areas.

It is illegal to possess or consume marijuana on the grounds of federal property, public or private schools where children attend classes, correctional facilities or in school buses.

Law enforcement has been instructed by organizers behind the proposal to focus on larger issues, like violent crimes and property theft, but users should continue to rigorously follow regulations and be hesitant when using marijuana products in grey areas.

There are currently no designated municipal locations to consume marijuana within Mount Pleasant.

McElwain sets a new standard W hen Jim McElwain was introduced as the 29th Central Michigan head coach at a press conference Monday morning, supporters in attendance stood up and applauded the first-time Chippewa.

“Let’s get used to standing on our feet — especially when we are on the field,” McElwain said, in his first public appearance after being hired on Sunday, Dec. 2.

The press conference started with opening statements from CMU President Bob Davies, Athletic Director Michael Alford and McElwain. With a stress on community fit, Davies and Alford praised the new football head coach and his wife, Karen McElwain.

McElwain has coached at Florida, the University of Michigan, Alabama and in the NFL over a 33-year coaching tenure. His last job was as an assistant at U-M. As the head coach of the Florida Gators, McElwain earned a 22-12 overall record.

He has compiled a 44-28 head coaching record.

CMU's new leader was the 2015 Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year, 2015 South Eastern Conference Coach of the Year, two-time SEC Eastern Division champion and owns a winning bowl record.

McElwain signed a five-year contract with a $400,000 base salary. He will earn $190,000 per year in additional compensation and a $50,000 retention bonus — hiking his total annual compensation to $640,000.

McElwain earned $300,000 during the 2018 season with Michigan and is still collecting money from his $7.5 million buyout from Florida, which cut ties with him near the end of the 2017 campaign.

McElwain was fired from Florida in October

After all-time worst season, Central Michigan replaces football head coach with proven winner who brings a new attitude to CMU

By Evan Petzold and Dylan Goetz 2017. In terms of the $7.5 million buyout agreement, McElwain will make $1 million on July 1, 2019. He adds $1 million on July 1, 2020 and $500,000 on July 1, 2021. From the buyout from Florida and CMU's compensation, McElwain will make $1.6 million in 2019.

His contract includes multiple game incentives, academic incentives, attendance incentives and rising annual compensation. For getting to a bowl game, McElwain will get $20,000. If he wins it, he is awarded an additional $25,000.

T EAM MEETING The Montana native met with what is left of the Central Michigan football team on Sunday. He described the meeting as an “eye-opener” for the players.

“They needed to learn how to sit up,” McElwain said, while Alford smiled next to him. “They need to learn how to focus. They need to learn how to communicate non-verbally.”

McElwain emphasized a winter conditioning

program during the question and answer session of the conference. His motivation behind implementing a training program in the winter is to find out who is committed to the team.

“We’ll find out who wants to be a Chippewa,” he said.

COACHING SEARCH Despite only taking nine days to find someone new to lead the Central Michigan football team, Davies joked with Alford in his opening statement by saying: “Next time, go a little bit faster.”

In the search process, Alford said he looked for a proven winner, someone who could fit at Central Michigan and in the community and someone with offensive prowess. Alford said McElwain checked every box.

“He was the primary target from day one,” Alford said of McElwain.

OFFENSIVE EXPERTISE McElwain, who is known for his offensive schemes, worked as the offensive coordinator at Alabama when they went undefeated in the regular season in 2009. His offense totaled 490 yards of offense in the SEC Championship game against the No. 1-ranked Florida Gators who sported the best defense in the country at the time.

“Offense fills up the stadium,” McElwain said.

“We can get explosive plays.”

Thanks to his time as an assistant at U-M, McElwain said he got a chance to study some of the best offenses in the county.

REPLACING JOHN BONAMEGO McElwain will be replacing former CMU football head coach John Bonamego, who was fired after the final game of the 2018 regular season on Nov. 23. The Chippewas finished with the worst season in CMU football history last season — a 1-11 record without a single FBS or conference win.

“I have met (Bonamego), and I have heard nothing but great things about him,” McElwain said. “It is not going to take him long to move forward from this, just knowing the quality that he is. I look forward to visiting with him.”

Bonamego gets to walk away with a $834,000 buyout. He already received $400,000 on Dec. 1, 2018. He will also be given $300,000 on Feb. 1, 2019, and $134,000 on March 1, 2019.

Bonamego was forced to return his office keys, laptop, gas card, cell phone, mileage reports and other items on the Employee Separation Checklist to CMU by 5 p.m. on Nov. 25. Bonamego was allowed to use his lease car until 5 p.m. on Nov. 30.

CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE | CM-LIFE.COM

Alford makes the right decision in hiring McElwain season Deflated, devastated and dismantled.

Those are just a few words to describe the 2018 season for the Central Michigan football team. Now-former head coach John Bonamego had his team at 1-11 on the season, the worst finish in program history – dating back to when it all began in 1896.

Bonamego was fired Nov. 23 hours after a 51-13 loss to Toledo. That left CMU with an even larger void – a head coach.

While CMU was losing three top recruits from Detroit and junior cornerback Sean Bunting to the 2019 NFL Draft, CMU Athletic Director Michael Alford was on the road in pursuit of a new man for Mount Pleasant to call coach.

Eight days passed between Bonamego’s firing and Alford agreeing to a deal with a new head coach, and on Dec. 2, Central Michigan Life broke the news Jim McElwain would become the leader of CMU’s football program.

“This is going to be a transition that’s fast and furious, and yet we can’t cut corners,” McElwain said. “If you build the program without the stable foundation, as fast as you rise, it will crumble.”

Did Alford make the right decision?

The simple answer is yes, especially since the contact was a five-year,

Evan Petzold Staff Reporter

$400,000 base deal. When looking at the hire from broad perspective, the answer still remains – yes.

The first aspect of McElwain to evaluate is his resume, which is impressive. He was the 2014 Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year at Colorado State and 2015 Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year at Florida. He won two SEC Eastern Division Championship (2015-16), has a head coaching record of 44-28 and owns a winning bowl record. Prior to joining the

Chippewas, McElwain was the wide receivers coach for Michigan in 2018. He also worked as the head coach for Colorado State (2012-14) and Florida (2015-17).

McElwain has the obvious experience to oversee a Mid-AmerJIM MCELWAIN ican Conference program. He also was noted as one of the best recruiters in the nation during his time with the Gators.

Alford made a great hire that could change the course of CMU football.

“Coach McElwain recruits outstanding student-athletes and gets the best out of them. He motivates his players and holds them accountable,” Alford said. “He

expects them to practice hard, win, go to class, graduate and be strong members of our community.”

However, a couple fans have voiced their displeasure in Alford’s hiring of McElwain.

On Oct. 23, 2017, in a press conference, McElwain alluded to death threats against himself. That same day, Florida officials said McElwain gave “no additional details” about the threats, and ESPN reported the school nearly fired McElwain for cause.

One day after Florida’s 42-7 loss to Georgia, McElwain met with Florida Athletic Director Scott Stricklin and the two parties agreed to part ways. An article by ESPN’s Mark Schlabach and Edward Aschoff claimed relations between McElwain and the Florida administration were strained from the moment he arrived in Gainesville.

Maybe Florida just wasn’t the right fit.

When McElwain was the offensive coordinator at Alabama (2008-11), Colorado State head coach and wide receivers coach at Michigan, not a single ounce of negativity surrounded his presence.

McElwain hit the reset button when he departed from Florida to Michigan.

Now, he’s officially back as the leader of a college football program – right here in Mount Pleasant, Michigan.

Prized 3-star QB Finn flips commitment from CMU to Toledo

By Evan Petzold Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Just a few weeks ago, the Central Michigan football team had a returning head coach, top cornerback and a multitude of recruits from the Motor City.

Since CMU’s 51-13 loss to Toledo, the Chippewas lost head coach John Bonamego, junior cornerback Sean Bunting to the NFL Draft and three top commits from Detroit in the 2019 class.

Of the three decommits, one is Dequan Finn, the 2018 Mr. Football winner and MHSAA Division 3 state champion. Finn threw for 2,104 yards and 25 touchdowns as a senior in 2018. He added 1,264 rushing yards for 21 touchdowns to total 46 offensive scores.

Hailing from Martin Luther King High School in Detroit, the three-star quarterback announced his decision to flip his commitment from Central Michigan to Toledo on Nov. 30.

Finn personally thanked Bonamego and defensive backs coach Cory Hall.

“I would like to thank Coach Bono, Coach Hall and Coach (Albert Karschnia) for allowing me to commit to Central Michigan and supporting me throughout this journey,” Finn said.

Before his Nov. 30 decision, Finn had been committed to CMU since April 21, 2018. He was the 31st-best dual-threat quarterback in the nation and No. 36 overall

in Michigan, per the 247Sports Composite.

“It feels good to be a Chippewa,” Finn told Central Michigan Life when he committed to CMU. “I love the fact that they feel as

and Youngstown State.

He eventually went with the Rockets.

“It’s been a long recruiting process and I just want to thank all of the colleges that have been recruiting me throughout this season,” Finn said. “(I) thank my coaches and family for guiding me and helping me make the best decision for me.”

On Nov. 25, two Detroit Cass Tech stars decommitted from CMU – wide receiver Kyron McKinnie-Harper and safety Ormondell Dingle. Both are close with Finn.

Despite losing three commitments from Detroit, the Chippewas still have Cass Tech threestar running back Lew Nichols III and Martin Luther King threestar wide receiver Darrell Wyatt in the fold for the 2019 class.

Nichols and Wyatt have a solid relationship with Finn, Dingle and McKinnie-Harper, which could play into their potential decision to leave CMU.

GROVES HIRED AS NEW SOCCER COACH DAYS AFTER FOOTBALL COACH ANNOUNCED Just two days after agreeing to a deal with a new head football coach, Central Michigan has found its new head coach of the women’s soccer program.

CMU Athletic Director Michael Alford announced Dec. 4 the hiring of Jeremy Groves as the sixth coach in program history.

“As we went through the process, it was clear what a fantastic place CMU is,” Groves said. “People really care about this program; the facilities are outstanding with the new renovations and it has a top academic profile.”

Groves replaces former coach Peter McGahey, whose contract was not extended at the conclusion of the 2018 season.

McGahey finished with a 50-55-12 overall record at CMU. In the most recent campaign, the Chippewas went 7-12 overall and 5-6 in Mid-American Conference play.

“This program also has great history and I look forward to building on that and taking it to new highs,” Groves said. “We are not only going to compete for conference championships here, we are also going to raise the profile of this program on a national front. We are going to have a program that is built around student-athlete success on and off the field.”

In the 2018 season, Groves worked as a volunteer assistant coach for Kentucky. Prior, he was coach of the Murray State team from 2014-17.

The Racers were 50-21-6 during Groves’ tenure and quickly became the powerhouse in the Ohio Valley Conference. From 2015-17, Murray State owned an undefeated 20-0-5 record in the OVC action under Groves.

Murray State won three-straight conference championships and two conference tournament titles. Groves was named the OVC Coach of the Year in 2015 and 2017.

From 2010-13, Groves was an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Morehead State. He also coached as an assistant for the Kentucky women’s program from 2006-07 and the men’s program from 2007-10.

Hailing from Leeds, England, Groves played college soccer for NAIA Virginia Intermont before transferring to Kentucky and leading the Wildcats to two conference championships. He played for Leeds United prior to taking the pitch in college.

Austin Jr. would slash down the lane for an and-one bucket and make the free throw to give CMU its largest lead of the game at 4229. The Penguins cut into the lead, making it 45-38 at the break.

Austin continued to score to start the second half, helping build CMU’s lead to 11 points. Then, YSU started to take over.

“We might not be in the shape we need to be right now with how tired we were in the second half,” Davis said. “As this season goes along there’s a lot of things our coaching staff can teach these guys because of their talent.”

Roundtree scored nine of his 23 points in the final overtime to help win the game. Austin scored a team-high 24 points and added 11 rebounds. Transfer forward Rob Montgomery fouled out with a career-high 17 points.

Following a three-game road trip, the Chippewas will be back in Mount Pleasant to take on Southern Utah at 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 8 in McGuirk Arena.

MEN’S BASKETBALL TAKES DOWN YOUNGSTOWN STATE IN TRIPLE OVERTIME Shawn Roundtree showed a sense of urgency when his team needed it most during the victory over Youngstown State for the Central Michigan men’s basketball team.

He scored nine of the first 11 points for CMU (7-2) in the third overtime, propelling CMU to a 100-94 victory over the Penguins (3-7).

CMU bounced back from a loss to Texas Christian University and completed a threegame road trip with a 2-1 record.

“I couldn’t be more proud of our team win or lose with how much went against us missing plays we normally make,” said head coach Keno Davis. “As for Shawn, it’s nice to know we have someone who can have the ball in their hands because he wants it. He finds a way to win the game.”

What happened Following a pair of buckets by Naz Bohannon and a 7-0 run, the Penguins led 9-2 early in the first half. The Chippewas would respond.

Art professor de Brestian discusses ‘Fragments of the Past’ exhibit

By Zoe Newmann Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

For almost five years, art and design faculty member Scott de Brestian has co-directed an investigation of the Church of the Assumption in San Vicente del Valle, Spain.

The project launched in 2013, and the Central Michigan University team of researchers began studying the history of a nearby town called Nájera in 2014. The second study is called the Najerilla Valley Research Project, and it focuses on studying the remains and history of Jewish settlement in the area. De Brestian brings a small group of undergraduates to San Vincente del Valle every summer.

The church was built in part from reused gravestones and sculptures ranging in date from the Roman Empire to the Middle Ages. The church is an important part of the area’s history.

De Brestian said there has been a lot of construction and growth in Nájera that obliterated a lot of old

historical buildings.

“We want to help the people living there to understand their own history and help them appreciate it,” de Brestian said.

His “Fragments of the Past” exhibit consisted of 3D-printed models of the gravestones found in the church. The project was supposed to show how fragments of the past can help with constructing buildings of the future. The sculpture was made by digital and physical reconstructions of what was found in the church.

The exhibit was displayed at the CMU Art Gallery Oct. 26 to Nov. 17.

De Brestian sat down with Central Michigan Life to talk about his research and the exhibit he created.

How would you describe the projects you have been working on? de Brestian: We have two projects: one in the city of Nájera, studying the remains of the medieval city to better understand its history; the other, in San Vicente del Valle, two valleys over, which is studying reused Roman and Medieval architecture

and sculpture in the Church of the Assumption. The project looks at how a city changes through different political rule, such as new kings or rulers and what that meant for the people.

How old is the city and the church?

The city has its origins in the Islamic period eighth century, although there are few traces of that period. The church’s date is disputed.

Broadly, it is Early Medieval seventh to tenth centuries CE. What is your favorite part of the project?

My favorite part is working with students and exposing them to Spanish food and culture. My favorite findings include uncovering the history of the Jewish quarter of Nájera, pinning down its location and researching the figural medieval gravestones from San Vicente.

What do the students get out of the research?

Students learn how we come up with questions about the past, and how we use a combination of art history, written sources and logic to come up with solutions. They get to see art history and archaeology “in the raw” before it is packaged into a textbook.

How does the 3D printing works?

A PLA (biodegradable plastic) filament is heated until it is at melting temperature, then applied in layers onto a base plate following the shape of the model. The inside, usually, is mostly hollow but has some supports to keep the whole thing together during and after the process. The object is then built up of thousands of thin layers of the melted PLA.
