Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Policies
Socio-Economic Affirmative Action
Work with the University to implement socio-economic based affirmative action for admissions (this would not be unconstitutional due to the passage of Michigan’s 2002 Proposal 2, which banned race and gender based affirmative action). To make an environment friendlier to low socio-economic individuals, make the environment contain more low SES individuals.

Training for FYW and ULW Professors in Helping ESL Students
Create a contrastive rhetoric training program for First Year Writing and Upper Level Writing professors on how to address the issues English as a Second Language (ESL) students uniquely face. Although ESL students generally out-perform native English students in most classes, they consistently do worse in writing classes, with average grades between a D- and C. This is not because their writing content is weaker, but their professors are not used to their rhetorical styles.

Identity-Based Social Events
Some student orgs on campus have a no junior/senior policy, to encourage four years involvement. However, this is restrictive to transfer students, who are coming to campus with fewer social connections. We will work with student orgs to allow exceptions for transfer students to be admitted.

Expand the ASL Program
Expand the ASL program by hiring two more professors (potentially one that is HOH/D). This will reduce the year long waitlist and Professor Berwanger’s workload, as well as show the Deaf community that they are respected and represented equally to other languages at the University of Michigan.
