RECOMMENDATION TO MODIFY THE ABSENCE POLICYStudent Government Senate passed a bill

that urged administrators to modify the absence policy to explicitly address that professors are

required to give an excused absence to students who have extenuating circumstances. Extenuat-ing circumstances, as mentioned in the bill, in-clude and are not limited to: a personal illness, hospitalization of an immediate family member or domestic partner, death of a family member, a motor vehicle accident, inflexible verified legal proceedings, inflexible medical appointments and graduate school interviews.

The policy would be added to the existing list of university-approved absences of partici-pating in an activity approved by the Academic Deans Policy Council and being excused for a religious holy day.

“We have been working on this bill the whole semester,” Sarah Betancourt, the com-muter student senator and the chair of academic affairs of Student Government said. “The only of-ficial reasons were for activities or religious days, nothing about illnesses. When we approached the deans of various schools, they were surprised that

we did not have this policy. This would ensure students will not be penalized for something seri-ous.”

The proposed policy would unify the policy among all schools and colleges and eliminate confusion between professors and students about whether their situation is deemed excusable.

Institutions such as the University of South Carolina, Stanford University and many others have a clearly stated list of excused absences in their attendance policies.

CO-SPONSORSHIP FUNDING WITH CANES CONSENTThe National Organization for Women

will receive $500 from Student Government for co-sponsorship funding to be used for their event, Canes Consent, to be held on Thursday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the Rock. The event’s goal is to help eradicate sexual harassment by raising awareness of the issue. Canes Consent hopes to

educate the campus community on how to pre-vent sexual harassment from happening.

Victims will speak at the event and will em-phasize the importance of reporting the incident instead of remaining silent.

Canes Consent is held once every semester by Professor Katherine Westaway’s women’s and gender studies class.

NOTES• The transfer student senator will be a new

senator position introduced in the spring semes-ter. Three seats will be open for transfer student senators.

• Filing for candidacy for the Student Gov-ernment president, vice president, treasurer and senators begins on Jan. 11, 2016. Information packets are available in the Shalala Student Cen-ter 210A starting at 9 a.m. Applications are avail-able at https://orgsync.com/55367/chapter.

December 3 - December 6, 2015 THE MIAMI HURRICANE NEWS 3

P resident Julio Frenk will an-nounce Thursday in a letter to the University of Miami community a goal to in-

crease enrollment of black students and recruitment of more black faculty as well as the creation of a Standing Committee on Diversity and Inclusion.

The letter, which The Miami Hur-ricane received before its release to the UM community, also described Frenk’s desire to enact initiatives to create a more welcoming environment for stu-dents of color at UM.

The Task Force to Address Black Students’ Concerns that was created in February 2015 under former President Donna Shalala reported to Frenk on the racial climate on campus and advised certain steps that the university could take to ensure a safer, happier environ-ment for black students, according to the letter.

The task force was asked by Shalala to meet by March 1 and to create a final report with recommendations by May 15.

The initial impetus for the task force was dialogue between undergraduate students and administration following reactions to a Black Lives Matter rally that was held on campus exactly a year ago.

Violent and racially charged com-ments were made anonymously on the popular social media app, Yik Yak, dur-ing and after the event, spurring Shalala to address students of color – specifically black students – and the prejudice they face at UM.

In a Dec. 12 email to UM students and faculty, Shalala directly referenced the rally, the string of peaceful protests and the need to deal with racial bias.

“Racism is everyone’s problem. Right now, as a nation and as a campus community, we must face this painful and divisive issue with openness, cour-age and deep respect for our differences … there’s no room for hate or intoler-ance,” she wrote.

Frenk announced a goal to admit and enroll the largest percentage of black students among what UM con-siders “aspirational” peer institutions, such as Duke University, New York University and Harvard University.

“To accomplish this ambitious task, I have asked Enrollment Manage-ment to lead these efforts through both strategic planning and recruitment en-hancement,” he said.

This goal was specifically outlined in the report from the task force, where

the aim was to increase UM’s 8 percent of black students in spring 2015 to 10 percent, the number that leads the na-tion.

Also by the suggestion of the task force, Frenk wrote that UM will begin actively seeking out, recruiting and hir-ing black faculty in order to better repre-sent the diversity in the student body. To do this, the university will implement a multiyear hiring and retention plan. Cur-rently, 4 percent of all UM faculty and staff are black.

“Representation in the classroom is an important piece of the college expe-rience, not just within the student body but within our faculty. The diversity of our student body should be reflected in our faculty,” said Frenk in the report.

The creation of a prominent, visible, central office for the Office of Multicul-tural Student Affairs (MSA) was listed as an “actionable” recommendation in the task force’s report. Frenk said the uni-versity is searching for a location that fits those qualities to make MSA an easily accessible resource on campus.

“The Task Force was unanimous in asserting the critical role of the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs (MSA) in shaping the student experience, particu-larly for students of color,” he said.

Frenk also wrote “additional re-sources” were allocated to the office to facilitate the continuation of services that abet the education and advance-ment of students of color.

MSA will report to Student Affairs as of Jan. 1, 2016. The newly formed standing committee will report to Execu-tive Vice President and Provost Thomas LeBlanc. Its duties are to research and incorporate educational strategies into campus programming to open discus-sion about diversity and inclusion. The committee will also analyze ways to ad-vance education around topics related to diversity.

Semester statistics shed light on campus crime

An average of one crime is being re-corded by police every day on the University of Miami’s Coral Ga-bles campus in the three and a half

months since the school’s fall semester began. University of Miami Police Department crime logs showed 105 crimes in the 105 days from Aug. 18th until Nov. 1, not including eight that were classified as “unfounded.” Eight were listed as having arrests made, one was listed as cleared and another was listed as a trespass warning being issued; the disposition for all crimes without these classifications was “open.”

Thefts, larcenies and burglaries made up the vast majority of those crimes with 50. 23 nar-cotics violations occurred during the same time; 14 were listed at Hecht Residential College, five were listed at Stanford Residential College, two were listed at both Eaton Residential College and the University Village, while Mahoney Residen-tial College had one.

One sexual assault, one “sexual battery/as-sault,” and one sex offense were listed. Eight in-stances of simple battery or assault were recorded.

Seven instances of both fraud and vandalism have also been recorded.

4 NEWS THE MIAMI HURRICANE December 3 - December 6, 2015

I t’s game day at Sun Life Stadium and all heads turn toward the giant hel-met on the home side of

the field. The fog rises through the crowd and the team pummels through the end zone. The crowd goes crazy, especially the student

section. This is the traditional opening of every home football game at the University of Miami. This year, it’s the result of the work of junior Nick Kaleel.

Kaleel is the chair of Cat-egory 5, the University of Miami Spirit Programming Board whose biggest aim is to cultivate school spirit in every student on campus.

One recent afternoon, Kaleel planted himself at one of the ta-bles overlooking Lake Osceola and nodded to multiple passers-by. It seemed as if he knew most of the students on campus.

“I am kind of like a mad-man,” Kaleel said as he laughed. “I had a meeting before this, and I have meeting right after, and then I have to leave for FSU at 5.”

Kaleel, a biomedical engi-neering major, runs all operations for Category 5, from the smoke and music at football games to the T-shirt handouts and raffles at basketball games. Every Mon-

day, the Category 5 board meets under Kaleel’s supervision to discuss upcoming athletic events and what they can offer to stu-dents to enhance the game ex-perience. One of Kaleel’s fellow board members, Vice Chair Can-dice Johnson, said Kaleel is great at his position because he under-stands that it is business but that they also need to have fun.

“He is truly invested in his board and general members,” Johnson said. “He wants to spark innovation and grow the organi-zation in ways that it has never grown before.”

Kaleel said that one task he particularly enjoys is recruiting alumni to attend games or pep rallies. It was through his job that he was able to develop a relation-ship with NFL football player and Hurricane alumnus D.J. Wil-liams.

“We had contacted him to speak at one of the rallies and

now I can go up to him at games and say, ‘What’s up,’” Kaleel said. “One time at a game, I felt someone tap my shoulder and I turn around and it was D.J. Stuff like that is pretty cool.”

Kaleel was first introduced to Category 5 as a freshman, when he was trying to look for ways to get involved on campus. He came to UM with an already deep pas-sion to “bleed orange and green.” Kaleel’s father attended UM as a law student in the late 1980s and Kaleel remembers watching almost every football game grow-ing up.

As a student-athlete, Kaleel’s position couldn’t be more fitting. When Kaleel is not running watch parties or pep rallies, he’s run-ning early morning miles with the cross-country and track and field teams. Kaleel has been a long dis-tance runner since his freshman year. His mornings begin long be-fore many students have made it out of bed, with 6 a.m. practices that consist of eight to 10 miles each morning.

Once finished with the cross-country and track season, Kaleel takes up the position as track coach for the triathlon club known as TriCanes. The Tri-Canes compete locally and na-

tionally against other colleges, particularly schools in the Florida Collegiate Triathlon Conference (FCTC). Among the runners he helps train is his roommate Joey Newfeld, president of the Tri-Canes club.

“We train for endurance sports together,” Newfeld said. “We used to meet outside the dorms at 6 a.m. to train, but now that we live together, we get an extra five minutes to sleep in.”

When Kaleel has time to himself, which does happen de-spite his hectic schedule, he likes to remind himself of his home on the beach in Ocean Ridge, Flori-da, by going to Key Biscayne.

“I will just go there for hours to hang out, just to clear my mind,” Kaleel said.

No matter how busy his schedule may be, Kaleel said that it’s all worth it. Not all learning in college, he said, comes from within the classroom.

“At the end of the day, I love doing it,” Kaleel said. “I spend a lot of time and energy on all this. Playing a sport, plus running an organization, plus maintaining academics, it’s all an educational experience. That is how I look at it and that is what keeps me go-ing.”

This hasn’t been a good year for inclusivity on college campuses.

With the racial tensions that have intensified at the University of Missouri, Yale University and other universities over these past months, there is increased scrutiny over what responsibilities schools should assume for the safety and well-being of their students.

A letter President Julio Frenk will release to-day invites us to think more about what diversity and belonging truly mean. Frenk outlines a few clear, concrete plans of action that are elaborated further in a report published by the Presidential Task Force to Address Black Students’ Concerns.

The increased funds and prominence that will be given to the Multicultural Student Asso-ciation (MSA) stand out as a smart moves to sup-port genuine improvement in terms of campus services. The MSA already provides practical, valuable services for the student community, such as book loans and guidance services. With the

administration’s support, the MSA can do even more for diverse students in need.

Frenk also introduces plans to recruit more black students and faculty.

Upon first glance, Frenk’s announced goal to matriculate the largest percentage of black students among peer institutions seems too am-bitious. Yet, with black students making up only 9 percent of our student body, the University of Miami still has one of the highest black student enrollments among a cohort of 30 aspirational peer institutions listed in the Task Force report, according to 2013 numbers.

Schools like Harvard University and Duke University have already raised their freshman matriculation rate of black students to 11 percent since 2013. It only seems right that UM also puts more effort into attracting talented black students from around the country.

Along those lines, the plans to recruit more black faculty through retention packages and net-working seem necessary. As we reported last Feb-ruary, only 4 percent of faculty in 2014 identified as African American. Ideally, a more diverse fac-ulty will increase the feeling of belonging for black students and will also enrich the experiences of all students.

As true beneficiaries of free speech, we un-derstand that the protection of worthy ideas is inextricable from the protection of those that are ugly and harmful. Some of the language in Frenk’s letter invites additional questions: in tak-ing actions against racism and damaging speech, have consequences already been enacted? To what extent will the university prevent or inter-vene on controversial or damaging acts taken by individuals?

Yet overall, Frenk’s letter is purposeful and reflective. It is a promise that UM can and will do better to live up to our diverse image, and it shows Frenk takes his work with the Task Force seriously enough to offer something more than the usual vague, empty supplications we hear too often from official figures. Maybe this hasn’t been a great year for inclusivity within colleges around the nation, but perhaps the next few years can be better, at least on this campus.

Editorials represent the majority view of The Miami Hurricane editorial board.

President Julio Frenk’s letter will be available online at themiamihurricane.com. The most updated report com-piled by the Task Force to Address Black Students’ Con-cerns will be available at miami.edu/provost.

Frenk’s letter, Task Force report promise, tangible changes

W hy is beauty what we value most?There’s no diet in the world that

could give me a body like Sofia Ver-gara or plastic surgery that could give

me a face as perfect as Rachel McAdams. The unfor-tunate truth is that beauty is a quality that we all strive to achieve but one that is randomly bestowed upon us at birth by the genetic lottery. Why is our society so ob-sessed with a quality that, for the most part, we can’t change?

Our obsession with physical attractiveness is so in-grained in our culture that we use the word “beautiful” to describe qualities that have nothing to do with our

appearance. We tell people they have a “beautiful soul” or that they’re “beautiful on the inside.” We’re so infatuated with the concept of beauty that we apply it to praise the qualities that are significant for being unrelated to our appearance.

Women’s fashion magazines and cosmetic empires are essentially built off our desire to be beautiful. Articles claim that we can lose 10 pounds in one week,

reduce blemishes and perfect our makeup so that our features are pronounced. Even worse, the new makeup fad called “contouring” teaches women how to use makeup to change the appearance of their natural bone structures.

Our physical appearance, barring diet, exercise and plastic surgery, is a quality that we can’t change, so why is it the one we care about the most? There are so many endless things about ourselves that we can improve, but we focus on the one thing that we can’t impact.

If you want to be a kinder person, you can volunteer on the weekends and bake cookies for a friend. If you want to be more musical, you can take guitar lessons and learn how to play your favorite songs. You can improve yourself in so many more interesting ways than your physical appearance.

I want magazines to write articles about how to be a better friend or how to succeed in the workplace. We should try to improve the things about ourselves that we have more control over, the things about ourselves that matter. Maybe we are not all born beautiful, but we are all born with the potential to become something.

Instead of fretting over your appearance in the mirror, spend time discover-ing what you’re capable of achieving. I promise it’s more interesting than what you look like.

“Now I want to see the action take place, and I don’t want these promises to be broken.”

C o l l e g e tends to conjure up images of

roaring party scenes, and the University of Miami has one of the best.

So when I, a proud homebody, call up friends from home and don’t talk about the crazy times

I have, they tell me that I’m “wasting my college experience.”

But am I? Just because we stay in (or stay dry) through high school and college doesn’t mean we don’t have our own share of experiences that are just as legitimate and rewarding.

While UM is a certifiable party school on the surface, this culture isn’t the perva-sive across the board. On weekends when I’m not back at home an hour away, I enjoy solo shopping at Sunset Place and advance screenings at the Cosford Cinema. Often, there is no greater pleasure than lounging in bed, gazing up at twinkling dorm lights and pressing “next episode” on Netf lix for the umpteenth time. Friends of homebod-ies, take note: we may not always have plans, but we’re okay with that.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t mat-ter whether you can barely remember your Saturday night or if you remember every “Arrested Development” episode you binge-watched in detail. The key for both homebodies and the rest of the student body is to never dismiss someone else’s idea of a good time. Someday, we might even run into each other at a bar – or more likely, on a snack run to Target – and laugh about why we ever thought there needed to be only one type of fun.

10 SPORTS THE MIAMI HURRICANE December 3 - December 6, 2015

T he 2015 Hurricanes didn’t have the suc-cess many dreamed of before the sea-

son, falling short of claiming the ACC Coastal title. While the Canes didn’t get the trophy they desperately desired, the program certainly had its fair share of ups and downs.

Just think back to the abso-lute craziness of this season.

It started with banners that followed the Canes wherever they went, calling for the fir-ing of Head Coach Al Golden before the season had even be-gun. The Canes got off to a 1-0 start with an easy 45-0 victory against Bethune-Cookman that featured a 75-minute lightning delay. The following week, Mi-ami picked up another win over Florida Atlantic that was held up by – guess what – another lightning delay.

Against Nebraska, Mi-ami held a 27-3 lead, yet still needed a field goal in overtime for the win. Then followed two straight losses, one of which came against a backup fresh-man quarterback at Cincin-nati in a poor performance on national television and another in a solid effort that came just short against Florida State.

The sixth game of the sea-son represented the calm before the storm as the Canes handled their business in a tidy fashion with a 30-20 win over Virginia

Tech. Soon afterward, Hurri-cane Drama made landfall.

In the program’s worst loss in its 90-year history, the Canes were pounded by Clemson 58-0 at Sun Life Stadium. The stands were empty by halftime and everyone knew what was to come of former Head Coach Al Golden following the defeat. Sure enough, he was fired and Larry Scott took the helm.

In what was one of the most thrilling coaching debuts and college football games in recent history, the Canes pulled off the “Miracle in Durham” with an eight-lateral play as the clock expired to beat Duke and somehow keep their ACC Coastal hopes alive.

While unconventional, the play boosted the team into the final stretch as the Canes won four of their last five games. That stretch did include a blowout loss at North Caroli-na, but just like its entire season, a major down was followed by a major up and the Canes fin-ished with wins over Georgia Tech and Pittsburgh.

They may have been just 8-4, but the Canes certainly had one of the most entertaining seasons in college football. How many schools had two light-ning delays, plane-flying ban-ners, a coaching change, two blowout losses and an amazing eight-lateral play to win a game?

It was a year filled with drama, there’s no doubt, but there were certainly positives along the way. While the Canes didn’t reach their goal, it was still a winning season in the end, and it was certainly a fun ride.

Hurricanes wrap up dramatic 2015 season

Mark Richt’s winning percentage as a head coach. Richt had an overall record of 145-51 over 15 seasons at the University of Georgia.74%

F ormer Hurricane Mark Richt is coming back to the University of Miami as head coach, as first re-

ported by Peter Ariz of CanesInSight.com. According to Brody Logan – a UM alum – of Fox News, the school will announce the hire on Thursday. The school has not yet confirmed the hire.

Richt, who was a star quarterback at Boca Raton High, graduated from UM in 1982 after backing up Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly in the ear-ly 1980s. Richt was fired from the Uni-versity of Georgia on Sunday after 15 seasons in the tough SEC, possessing a career record of 145-51. At Georgia, he won two SEC titles, had nine 10-win seasons and was 9-5 in bowl games. The Bulldogs finished the 2015 regular season 9-3.

“I think Miami is getting a great, great coach,” Georgia linebacker Da-vin Bellamy said over the phone. “You couldn’t ask for anything more out of a head coach. You’re talking about a guy who is going to develop players and who could also be a father figure in their lives.”

Richt was Miami’s top candidate for the job as soon as Georgia let him go. After Richt, Miami was also con-sidering former Rutgers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano, current Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen and former Hurricanes coach Butch Davis.

Miami’s reported new head coach was in high demand following his dismissal at Georgia. Richt said on Monday that “about five” schools had already contacted him. According to multiple reports, Richt interviewed for the UM job on Tuesday and the Univer-sity of Virginia job earlier Wednesday.

After giving up play calling duties a few years ago, Richt said in a press conference on Monday that he would like to be more involved in his next coaching gig. “I’ll say this: if and when I do coach again, I’m looking forward to coaching again, in terms of being hands-on,” he said. “I miss coaching quarterbacks. I miss calling plays. I miss that part of it.”

Before taking over at Georgia ahead of the 2001 season, Richt spent a decade as an offensive assistant coach at Florida State under Bobby Bowden. Richt is a strong recruiter inside and outside of South Florida, having a top-10 ranked class by ESPN each of the last six seasons at Georgia.

Richt could help restock Miami’s incoming class after a string of players recently decommitted from the Hurri-canes. Jacob Eason, the top-rated quar-terback in the class of 2016 by 247Sports, is currently committed to the Bulldogs, but that could change soon. Eason took an official visit to Florida after Georgia

let go of Richt, and Rivals.com reports that Miami is a contender to land the top prospect. Several other promising recruits are also reportedly considering Miami with Richt on board.

Richt would take over for Larry Scott, who was 4-1 as interim head coach after replacing Al Golden on Oct. 25. Golden was fired following the team’s 58-0 defeat at home to Clemson, the worst loss in UM history. It is un-known if Scott will remain on the staff.

Scott’s younger brother, LaVaar, said over a direct message on Twitter that he had not spoken to his brother several hours after reports of Richt’s hire surfaced. “I spoke [to] him ear-lier before the news broke. He has been working recruiting hard,” Scott said of his brother. “I pray all of his hard work and dedication will be noticed.”

Richt’s reported hire was met with overwhelming approval by the Hurri-canes fan base. Eighty-eight percent of the 5,000-plus participants in a Miami Herald poll voted they either liked or loved the hire.

Richt would inherit a team that finished 8-4 overall and 5-3 in the ACC in the 2015 regular season. The Hurri-canes haven’t won 10 games in a sea-son since joining the ACC in 2004 and haven’t won a bowl game since 2006.

T he Hurricanes improved to 8-0 with a 73-64 win over Illinois as part of the Big 10/ACC Challenge in

the BankUnited Center on Wednes-day night. The victory was fueled by a late fourth quarter 16-0 surge by the Canes.

The Hurricanes started off slow, going down 9-0 in the first two and a half minutes of the game. Head Coach Kate Meier elected not to call a timeout or make any substitutions, but instead let her team fight through

the adversity. The Canes fulfilled their coach’s hopes as they countered the Illini run with an 11-0 run of their own.

The game remained closely con-tested until the second quarter, when Illinois (4-1) broke away thanks to strong three-point shooting. They shot 5-of-13 from downtown in the first half, compared to Miami’s 1-of-10 first half three-point shooting.

Illinois led 35-28 going into the half. Illini freshman Cierra Rice led all scorers with 12 first half points.

As the teams exchanged buck-ets and turnovers, the Fighting Il-lini maintained around a seven-point lead throughout the third quarter and the early part of the fourth quar-ter. Then at the nine-minute mark of the fourth quarter, the Canes went on a game-defining 16-0 run to re-take the lead 65-57. The run was led by junior guards Adrienne Motley and Jessica Thomas, predominantly Thomas’s facilitating and Motley’s scoring. Motley finished the game

with a game-high 24 points, mark-ing her sixth straight game scoring in double figures.

The Canes warded off any last- minute comeback efforts by the Illini.

Despite both teams undefeated records entering the matchup, the game was surprisingly sloppy. Com-ing into the game the Illini averaged 19 turnovers a game, but in today’s contest they committed a whopping 26 turnovers. The story did not dras-tically differ for the Canes, as they committed 18 turnovers. The Hur-ricanes took advantage of the nu-merous Illini miscues by scoring 34 points off of turnovers.

“We played uncharacteristically sloppy,” Meier said to HurricaneS-ports.com.

The Canes contained Illinois’s leading scorer center Chatrice White, as she could only score six points. She had been averaging 20.3 point per game coming into the matchup. Credit should be given to freshman

forward Emese Hof, who guarded White most of the night.

“I think Erykah [Davenport] and Emese took it real personally. We did not have a ton of time to pre-pare, but they took it very personally and they are known for their ability

to defend,” Meier said to Hurricane-Sports.com.

The Canes next face Cop-pin State at 7 p.m. on Friday at the BankUnited Center.
