Rutgers protests tackle minimum wage, faculty wage increases RYAN STIESI ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR
At the tail end of the Fall 2017 semester, University President Robert L. Barchi raised the schoolwide minimum wage by 30 percent, from $8.44 an hour to $11 an hour, following a semester of protests. This spring, protesters took back to the streets to address more issues. Demands for higher wages, health services for part-time lecturers, fair contracts and services for students with children, among others, were made public and brought to the administration’s attention. Here is a recap of the semester’s most prominent protests and the results that followed.
THE FIGHT FOR $15
Rutgers United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS) continued
its campaign for a $15 minimum wage on campus this semester. On Dec. 12, 2017, the student organization shut down a Rutgers Board of Trustees meeting when members refused to leave until Barchi met their campaign demands, The Daily Targum reported. Earlier in the same week, the University announced a raise to $11 an hour. “Well obviously we’re very enthused with everyone who showed up who you know fought for the belief that everybody here does deserve a living wage,” Avery Elford, media liaison for USAS, said to the Targum at the time. “I think that we do believe we can win, and this $11 was already proof that we are putting pressure on the administration here and we believe that we are gonna keep it up, we are gonna shut down every meeting until we get what we deserve, which is a $15, living minimum wage.”
In February, the Targum reported that 12 students involved in the protest received police charges. These included a disorderly persons offense stating that students acted in a way that disrupted a “lawful meeting, procession or gathering,” and a petty disorderly offense that stated that students “purposely caused” or “recklessly created” alarm. After entering the meeting, members of the organization bypassed police and took to the center of the room where they refused to move until board members agreed to their demands, the Targum reported. Despite this, USAS continued its campaign. On Feb. 23, members of the organization marched from the steps of SEE PROTESTS ON PAGE 4

RUSA introduces new board, initiatives ERICA D’COSTA ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR
Dan Schulman, PayPal president and CEO, is this year’s commencement speaker. He formerly served on the University’s Board of Governors and Board of Trustees. JEFFREY GOMEZ / MAY 2017
PayPal CEO to be graduation speaker ERICA D’COSTA ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR
Members of the University’s Board of Governors meeting announced Dan Schulman, president and CEO of PayPal, as Rutgers—New Brunswick’s 2018 commencement speaker earlier this year. Schulman, who formerly ser ved on the University’s Board of Trustees, will receive an honorar y Doctor of Humane Letters degree and give a speech to the Class of 2018 on Sunday, May 13
at High Point Solutions Stadium in Piscataway. The long-anticipated announcement comes six months after the University asked former Vice President Joe Biden to be this year’s graduation speaker. Dory Devlin, University spokesperson, confirmed that Biden was unavailable for graduation in an email. “Former Vice President Joseph Biden was unable to attend the May 13 commencement ceremony. We are thrilled he came to Rutgers in October to rally students around the It’s On Us campaign aimed at ending
sexual assault on college campuses,” she said. The official 2018 graduation headliner has a long list of accomplishments, titles and awards. His journey started at AT&T in 1981 as an assistant to an accountant executive, when his first paycheck there totaled to $208 — he is now worth millions. He later took on leadership roles at Priceline, American Express, Sprint and notably at Virgin Mobile as the company’s founding CEO, Devlin said. SEE SPEAKER ON PAGE 4
The Rutgers University Student Assembly (RUSA) had an eventful year, naming Suzanne Link as the new president of RUSA for the 2018-2019 school year and implementing a free menstrual hygiene product program on three campuses at Rutgers. Link ran on the One Rutgers ticket — one of four tickets on the ballot. One Rutgers, led by Link, a School of Arts and Sciences junior, and vice-presidential candidate Jaidev Phadke, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore, focused on the issue of college affordability during their campaign, as reported earlier by The Daily Targum. The ticket plans to fight for an increase in the maximum award for Pell Grant recipients, assure food access to Rutgers students struggling with food insecurity, advocate for increased state funding and continue to support the Employer Participation in Student Loan Assistance Act. Evan Covello, an Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy senior, stepping down from his 2017-2018 RUSA presidency, said that it was a lot of work, but he would do it all over again if he was not graduating. “I would say the thing I am most proud of is the legitimacy we’ve built as advocates for students,” said Covello, who has been on the RUSA board for the past three years.

Using the money left in the budget in ways that will directly help students is one thing he still wants to accomplish before graduation, he said. This has already been set in motion through partnering with the Rutgers Student Food Pantry to address food insecurity and setting up a program to make menstrual hygiene products free on campus. The recent pilot program was launched across the Cook, Busch and Livingston campuses and supply students with access to free menstrual products. Once RUSA was introduced to the possible hindrance of that goal via feminine products, it conducted research, said Covello. In discussing the logistics and finances of implementing the program, RUSA reached out to other on-campus organizations, such as The Women’s Center Coalition (WCC), The Douglass Governing Council (DGC) and the University Facilities and Capital Planning (UFCP), said Covello. Despite the recent arrival of the new government body, Link plans to further develop the program. “I am looking forward to sitting down with UFCP this month to discuss the success of this program and how to expand it to our other campuses. I am pleased at the progress that has been made thus far on making menstrual hygiene products free at Rutgers University and this is a program that I will continue to improve as president,” she said.

Scaramucci talks anti-Semitism at U. CHRISTIAN ZAPATA NEWS EDITOR
Earlier this year, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke with Ruth B. Mandel, the director of The Eagelton Institute of Politics, about her involvement in the women’s political movement, the 2016 election and student civic engagement. DECLAN INTINDOLA / PHOTO EDITOR / MARCH 2018
Clinton discusses women in politics CHRISTIAN ZAPATA NEWS EDITOR
Former Secretar y of State Hillar y Clinton’s visit earlier this year, initially scheduled for the College Avenue Gymnasium, attracted more than 5,000 students to the Rutgers Athletic Center for an event hosted by the Eagleton Institute of Politics. Clinton spoke on a number of topics, including American democracy and its institutions, Clinton’s political career and her involvement in the women’s political movement, with Director of the Eagleton Institute of Politics Ruth B. Mandel, The Daily Targum reported. She was this year’s Clifford P. Case Professorship of Public Affairs — a title established by the Rutgers Board in the 1980s after Case’s death in 1982 — joining the ranks of previous recipients, such as former President Gerald Ford, former Vice President Walter Mondale and former speaker of the House Thomas “Tip” O’Neill. Clinton was paid $25,000 to attend the event, according to the Targum. In 2014, she stated that money she earns from University talks fund her philanthropic efforts through the Clinton Foundation — an operating foundation that works to create economic opportunity, improved public health and inspire civic engagement and service, according to its site. Reading from a list of crowdsourced questions, Mandel asked that Clinton comment on misconceptions surrounding her life, how she responds to comments that she should exit the public stage and how to sustain female empowerment in politics. “I have often thought that I am a kind of a Rorschach test for people who are trying to make sense, not just of me personally, but of women’s roles and women’s expanded opportunities in not only America but around the world,” Clinton said. Clinton said that following the 2016 election, she felt pressure to remove herself from the public sphere and conversations over social issues.
When asked how people could support efforts to sustain female political involvement and the support of institutions that support women regardless of their standing, she said there are three interrelated challenges. The first, to convince women to get involved, the second that there will be backlash from people who do not want to see preconceived notions changed and who oppose women running in government. The last is that women who are new to politics and effecting change are not aware of how long it can take, the Targum reported. Speaking on the merits of being a woman, she said that during the election she wanted people to
embrace that she was a woman, but to also consider what she had to offer. She found common cause in a number of areas with other women in office. “If you start with a shared perspective about what an issue is, bring public awareness, you can then discuss the details,” she said. Clinton went on to speak on a number of topics, including Russian collusion during the 2016 election and civic engagement among young people. “And we don’t want to turn decision making over large parts of our lives to unelected powerful interests. We want to be in a position where we are calling the shots,” Clinton said.
Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci stopped by the Chabad House earlier this semester where he spoke about his experiences with Judaism, ways to promote its preservation and his life during and after his time at the White House. “Countering BDS Campaigns on Campus with Anthony Scaramucci” was organized by the Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce (OJC) with help from Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) and featured a panel of members from the University’s Orthodox Jewish community. Duvi Honig, the founder and CEO of the Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce, said that Scarmucci was invited to discuss the effects of hatred and the diminishment of Judaism, along with its artifacts such as the Torah. Scaramucci is known for his time serving as White House communications director this past summer and the 11 days, as corrected by him, that transpired between his appointment and removal from the position. He listed three rules that he suggested the audience never forget. The first, that it is an individual’s culture that matters most. “No. 2 … is super important to realize this, the Jewish community globally for 5,500 years is hunching over its weight … Just look at the statistics, you’ve killed it in commerce, you’ve killed it in the arts, you’ve killed it in science … the byproduct of your culture has led to unbelievable charity all around the world.”
Lastly, he said that passing the ethos of Judaism onto new generations will benefit the culture and offset hatred. After concluding his speech, Scaramucci spent the remainder of his time answering audience questions. When asked about his position on the U.S. airstrike against Syria, he said that the tribe present in the area targeted has occupied the space for thousands of years as a “ritualistic tribe that will fight to the death.” “Their attitude is, and some people have this attitude, obviously the Nazi’s had this attitude, they’re superior to other people and so therefore if I’m gassing somebody else they’re subhuman to me,” he said. Scaramucci responded to a question regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict with an assessment of the land, which he said should stay in the hands of the Jewish people in order to secure their survival. He is a proponent of a one-state solution, one in which Jewish people and Palestinians retain their legal and political character as separate nations, and suggests a strategy that protects statehood above all else. In a surprise announcement, Scaramucci was awarded a photo album from the Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce. “This gift on behalf of YAD VASHEM, which came from them on their own good will to Anthony, demonstrates how much his visit impacted all Holocaust survivors through the recognition and understanding which Anthony generated about the Holocaust and the 6,000,000 Jews destroyed in the name of hate,” Honig said to The Daily Targum.

PROTESTS Last year, President Barchi raised worker minimum wages to $11 per hour CONTINUED FROM FRONT Brower Commons on College Avenue, throughout Downtown New Brunswick and eventually ended in front of Old Queens as part of their fight for $15, according to the Targum. USAS marched in solidarity with other organizations on campus, including the American Association of University Professors-the American Federation of Teachers (AAUP-AFT) and the Democratic Socialists of America, according to the Targum. “This was real and this was a movement moment,” said Mariah Wood, a USAS organizer and School of Arts and Sciences senior, at the time. “This was us taking back our streets and showing that we aren’t going to back down even in light of these heinous charges that have been pressed against 12 student leaders.”
BARGAINING FOR FAIR CONTRACTS AND SERVICES
With part-time lecturer contracts set to expire over the summer, AAUP-AFT was also involved in protests. The organization joined others on Tuesday, April 10 in a protest outside of the Board of Governors’ meeting in Winants Hall, according to the Targum. In a series of chants and speeches, members of the group called for fair contracts and protected healthcare services for part-time employees.
“The response hopefully will be in the coming months when they see our show of power, they see how many people came out, how many members we have,” said Jerald Isseks, a student in the School of Graduate Studies and teacher assistant, at that time. “Our membership is at like 60 percent capacity right now which is the biggest its ever been, it went up from like 20 percent to like 60 percent in the last three years, so hopefully that’s a little bit of a message to them that we mean business.”
STUDENTS WITH CHILDREN
Rutgers Students With Children (RSWC) is another active group on campus that has campaigned to increase resources for student-parents on campus. This semester, the group posted an online petition that received more than 600 signatures and outlined its demands, according to the Targum. Anjanette Vaidya, president and founder of RSWC, along with the organization called for demands like priority registration, being tracked and named as a population and subsidized child care, among others, according to the petition. “We’ve been asking the administration for basic supports and services for student parents that other higher education institutions have provided their student’s parents with for years,” Vaidya said at the time.

Students give back to community RYAN STIESI ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR
From food-raisers to dancing for change, the Rutgers community has come together in many ways this semester. Here are five ways students have given back to the community since January.
DANCE MARATHON RAISES MILLIONS FOR THE KIDS
2018 marked the 20th annual Rutgers University Dance Marathon (RUDM) and the second time that members of greek life, athletes and the Rutgers community raised more than $1 million for The Embrace Kids Foundation. The grand total amounted to $1,055,468.37 and 24 hours of non-stop dancing, according to The Daily Targum. Hannah Rothstein, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore and a Dance Relations Captain, worked alongside a crew of directors and fellow dancers to recruit dancers and prepare for the event. “I think it’s like contagious, once you start and someone else gets inspired and they want to do it and it just makes you want to keep going and keep seeing how much more you can make an impact and how much more you can get involved,” she said to the Targum at the time.
This year’s Dance Marathon marks 20 years of philanthropic efforts on behalf of Rutgers and its various student organizations toward The Embrace Kids Foundation. DECLAN INTINDOLA / PHOTO EDITOR / APRIL 2018

INITIATIVE PAINTS NEW BRUNSWICK
the Arts and the Highland Park Arts Commission paired approximately 20 local artists to display art in storefront windows across the city and raise awareness for social justice issues in an initiative called “Windows of Understanding,” according to the Targum. The event was in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy and took place on Church, George and French Streets in New Brunswick, along with Raritan Avenue in Highland Park. “I think it’s critical in this media landscape that we seize opportunities to create ‘peaceful disruptions’ in people’s dailyness,” said Cassandra Oliveras-Moreno, the Communications and Collaboration administrator at Mason Gross School of the Arts and the initiatives’ founder. “I think art has the ability to communicate across boundaries that other mediums can’t.”

ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER?
The Sigma Alpha Epsilon Pi sorority along with Sigma Alpha Mu hosted “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader,” a fundraising event at the Hillel House on the College Avenue campus in February. All proceeds went to the American Jewish World Service (AJWS), an international organization devoted to promoting human rights and fighting poverty in underdeveloped parts of the world, according to the Targum. The event featured a round of eight questions on different topics, each round increasingly difficult than the last. Students competed in teams and faced off against each other, seeing who could get the most questions right.
SENIORS LEAVE THEIR LEGACY
The Rutgers Class of 2018 Scarlet Senior Campaign gives Rutgers students the chance to give back to areas of the University that meant a lot to them, according to the Targum. Marques Jules, the senior class gift campaign coordinator and a School of Arts and Sciences senior said, “… I have a real understanding of the huge impact that philanthropy has on the student experience. I want my classmates to know that too — and to take action.” Currently, 738 people have donated and more than $19,000 have been raised, according to its website.

STREAK Rutgers has 3 games left this season to try ending its losing streak CONTINUED FROM BACK lating three RBI’s. Rutgers’ only two RBI’s in the game came from sophomore infielder Anyssa Iliopoulos on a fielder’s choice, and a safety squeeze bunt play from senior catcher Sierra Maddox. Hoklotubbe singled in the game, moving her hit streak to nine and her reached base safely mark to sixteen games in a row.
Despite an excellent pitching effort from Jones in the third and final game of the series, the Knights fell to Michigan State, 2-0. Jones pitched six innings, allowing only 2 runs on three hits. Unfortunately, Spartans starter Kristina Zalewski was just a little bit better, tossing a complete game shutout with five strikeouts. Hoklotubbe was 2-3 in the game, moving her hitting streak to 10 games in a row, and tying junior
shortstop Jess Hughes with 17 straight games reaching base on the season. With only one series remaining on the season for Rutgers, it is hoping May will deliver better results than April did. The Knights were 0-15 in April, their last win coming on March 31, a 4-2 over Penn State. Rutgers will return home to play its final three games of the season this weekend against Indiana. Despite being just 24-27 on the season, the Hoosiers own one of the top records in the Big Ten with its 16-4 mark. For updates on the Rutgers softball team, follow @TargumSports on Twitter.

Rutgers suffers 2nd sweep in 3 weeks to Purdue
RU losing streak climbs to 15 at Michigan State

The Rutgers baseball team headed to West Lafayette, Indiana hoping to win its eighth series in the last nine weekends. Instead, it suffered something that only happened to it one other time this year. The Scarlet Knights (22-18, 6-9) were swept for the second time in the last three weekend series, losing at Purdue (24-16, 104). It was the first time they lost a series to the Boilermakers, having won series’ in 2015 and 2017. “Overall it was not very good,” said head coach Joe Litterio. “We came down here to try to win a series, but we didn’t swing the bats or field very well. I’m not very happy about the results.” Rutgers committed five errors on the weekend, resulting in 4 unearned runs. The five errors matched the number it committed the last time it was swept, which was at Illinois two weeks ago. The first game of the series saw senior pitcher John O’Reilly go seven innings, allowing 3 earned runs on nine hits, but he received no run support as the Knights were shut out, 4-0. It was O’Reilly’s first loss since opening day against Miami. “I think I did alright, but I’m a little disappointed that we couldn’t pull out a win on Friday night,” O’Reilly said. “The team has been giving me run support all year long, so I can’t really get too frustrated about that. I can only control what I can control. I know I can do better, but I gave my team a chance, which is all I can do.” The team had a chance to take the lead early, loading the bases with one out in the second. But a strikeout and a flyout meant it came away with nothing, and Purdue made
Thank goodness April is almost over. With three losses this weekend to Michigan State, the Rutgers softball team extended its losing streak to 15 in a row, having not won a game in the entire month of April. The Scarlet Knights dropped the games by scores of 4-2, 9-2 and 2-0. In game one, junior pitcher Whitney Jones took to the circle for Rutgers. Jones tossed four shutout innings before giving up 3 runs in the fifth. In total she pitched five innings, giving up 4 runs and four walks. The loss moves her record to 8-14 on the season. Senior first baseman Rebecca Hall was a perfect 3-3 on the day, including an RBI single in the sixth inning. Sophomore right fielder Nicole Bowman put the Knights on the board first in the game, with an RBI single in the fourth inning that put Rutgers ahead 1-0 at the time. With her single in the first inning, Hall moved into second place on the program’s alltime hit list with 213 total base knocks. She trails only alumnus Carla Camino, who has 233 all-time hits. Sophomore center fielder Hailey Hoklotubbe also extended her hit streak to eight games and has reached base safely in the last fifteen games. During game two of the series, freshman pitcher Taylor Manno got roughed up in the circle for the Knights, allowing 5 runs (3 earned) through three innings of work. She received the loss, moving her to 0-2 this year. Freshman pitcher Taryn Collins came on in relief, allowing 4 runs in two and one thirds innings of work. For the Spartans, left fielder Kelly Zackrison hit 2 home runs in the game, accumu-

Thanks to Michigan beating Penn State earlier in the day, the Rutgers men’s lacrosse team was not playing for its life on Saturday afternoon against Ohio State. But, the No. 9 Scarlet Knights (9-5, 2-3) didn’t exactly put for th an inspiring performance, as they were easily put away by the Buckeyes (8-6, 3-2) to the tune of a 10-7 scoreline. The story of the day was the discrepancy at the faceoff X. A week after going 0-for-10 in the second half against the Nittany Lions, Rutgers failed to win the first 13 against Ohio State, which included all nine in the first half. And despite the performance in the first half, the Knights were down just 4-3 at halftime. It’s reasonable to expect an average performance in the second half would have led to a more favorable result.

But Buckeye Justin Inacio would not cool off, winning the first four in the third quarter, which led to 4 straight Ohio State goals to push the score to 8-3. After that eighth goal, Rutgers finally won its first faceoff of the game and senior midfielder Christian Mazzone scored to make it 8-4. Senior faceoff specialist Alex Schoen would win the first faceoff of the fourth quarter for the Knights, leading to sophomore attacker Kieran Mullins’s goal that made the score 8-5 and put a scare in the Buckeyes. But with its back against the wall and needing a win to keep its season alive, Ohio State responded with 2 goals in the next 3 minutes to go up 10-5 and put to rest any thoughts Rutgers had of a comeback. Senior attacker and captain Jules Heningburg added on 2 goals late to give him anSEE LOSS ON PAGE 10
