SGB PASSES RESOLUTION BACKING PROPOSED PLRB RULING

A PITT CLUB BY ANY OTHER NAME

Emily Drzymalski Staff Writer

Student Government Board unanimously passed a resolution at its Tuesday night meeting calling on support for University labor and rights to organize without unlawful intrusion.

SGB member Eric Macadangdang proposed the resolution at the board’s meeting last Tuesday. The resolution comes about a month after Pitt filed an exception to a ruling proposed by the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board on Sept. 18, halting its orders. The PLRB’s proposed ruling found the University guilty of three unfair labor practices during the April graduate student union election and President Zechariah Brown provided an update to the ongoing SGB proposal process as a result of the SORC namordered a new election.

Macadangdang’s resolution centered on ing guideline changes at a Tuesday night SGB meeting. SGB has proposed three options for student clubs and the University to compromise.

The board will soon vote on another resolution, this one proposed Tuesday night by SGB Elections Committee Chair Nick Bibby.

The resolution includes updates to the SGB Elections Code in preparation for the 2019-20 elections. The resolution aims to clarify the language on the endorsement processes, posting of campaign materials and definition of a student who is able to run.

The resolution expands the ability for students who are enrolled in the College of General Studies to participate in the elections process — they may now vote for candidates and referendums, run for office and sign candidate petition forms. Previously, if a student was enrolled in CGS, the SGB Elections Code did not permit them to engage in any of these activities.

It also clarifies that student organizations not registered with the University’s Student Organization Resource Center may not endorse a candidate or slate. Candidates and slates are responsible for requesting the endorsement’s removal within 24 hours.

The resolution will now allow for candidates and slates to “chalk” on the Bigelow Boulevard sidewalk outside the Cathedral of Learning, but prohibit promotional campaign materials that can be hung from door handles or knobs.

Bibby also announced that the elections committee is extending the campaign cycle by a week, with elections now set for Feb. 25.

He said the committee hopes for candidates to use the additional time to speak with students and spread the word about the election.

SGB President Zechariah Brown also provided an update on the looming problem posed by updated SORC naming guidelines.

Brown said he will meet Wednesday to discuss the three proposed solutions with SORC Coordinator Lynne Miller and Linda Williams-Moore, the director of the Office

of Student Life and the associate dean of students, respectively.

At last week’s meeting, Brown said fewer than 10 students had responded to a request for public input on the proposals. He said Tuesday that the number of responses increased to more than 20, and the most popular solution is the one that the board prefers.

ther Relations PR. “I found PRSSA’s student PR firm handbook and took some ideas from that that I liked but also looked at the ways I didn’t really love certain things that they were doing,” Green said. “I wanted to be a little more creative and open and not so much regulated and regimented as they were.”

Green searched top PR firms in Pittsburgh and sent out emails to people there, trying to find a professional adviser for the club — which ended up being Jerry Thompson, the public relations director at the Pittsburgh office of MARC USA, a national PR firm. The student-run PR firm has expanded exponentially, both in members and clients, since Thompson first began advising them.

“We’ve consulted with them along the way,” Thompson said. “It’s been rewarding to be around students who take initiative. They built this thing themselves, which is very entrepreneurial. I think they have created a steady trajectory of growth and accomplishment with Panther PR.” After Thompson created an advisory board comprised of professionals, and Green found peers who were also interested in PR to form the necessary executive board, they were ready for recruitment in the fall.

“We needed to have at least 10 members to have an active club, and we knew what we were doing wasn’t going to be easy or one of those things where you half be in it, you really need to be committed,” Green said. “And the first meeting is always packed more than any other meeting in the entire year because a bunch of freshmen are like ‘Oh, maybe I’m interested in this.’ You have one chance to sell them on this.”

According to Green, the firm started as a resource for other student organizations such as Pitt Lacrosse, Pitt Pantry and others. However, after working with them for a while, Green felt as if the firm’s abilities weren’t being utilized to its full potential, so she began to consider businesses based in the area as potential clients. She herself was the one to create the club’s partnership with Amazon, since she works at the Pitt Hub location as an associate.

Panther Relations began producing marketing photos for Amazon, as well as assisting them with “locker wrap” contests between different locations, where employees would decorate Amazon lockers and win prizes. They also helped put together a Halloween party last year for Pitt’s Amazon location to celebrate its one-year anniversary.

Jess Piccola, the campus site manager at Amazon, said the store’s partnership with Panther Relations PR began with primarily event planning,

and now involves a lot of graphic design aspects as well.

“Since we were a new business on Pitt’s campus we were just trying to figure out ways that we can get in front of students,” Piccola said. “The students are really willing to learn, and they’re willing to do what we have in mind, but they’re also willing to bring us some great fun ideas.”

Juan Bonetti, senior member with a double major in communication and psychology and business manager of the firm, brought on Adobe as a client. Panther PR is part of Adobe’s creative club network, and the firm does lots of workshops with them to help familiarize students with the software, including a workshop on Valentine’s Day called Adobe X’s and O’s, where students could crop exs out of old photos or photoshop themselves with celebrities.

Bonetti admitted that juggling the work he did with the PR firm and his classes was the biggest challenge of the club.The organization holds both general body meetings for planning as well as work meetings on Sunday to check in about specific assignments.

“Everybody’s always leaning on each other, nobody’s ever afraid to say ‘I am way too busy this week, can anybody hop up and take that assignment?’” Bonetti said. “We all try and work together to make sure that everybody’s making it through the semester and not that stressed.”

Green said another challenge the organization faces is proving its efforts bring results.

“It’s hard to prove PR works, to prove that something qualitative like brand, or loyalty or emotion drives sales and numbers,” Green said.

“Proving PR is rough, but when it’s done right it can have all the difference. Just from my experiences, no one ever thinks they need PR until something goes wrong, but having PR is how you prevent things from going wrong.”

Green added that PR is not for everyone. People doing PR, in her experience, need to be creative, have the ability to meet deadlines and work both individually and as a collaborator.

“With PR you have to be a renaissance man of communication,” Green said. “You have to know a little bit of everything.”

Green expressed her pride for the direction that the organization has gone in, and said that she hopes to be able to return to campus at some point in the future and see how the club has grown.

“I’ll have a legacy at Pitt, this is something that I started that will hopefully be around for decades to come,” Green said. “Maybe someone gets their first internship because they have this experience, or maybe someone gets their dream job or meets a connection for this really great job they’ve wanted. It’s not just for me, but for others like me and the people around me.”

IT’S TIME TO RATIFY THE EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT Mackenzie Oster Staff Columnist

As 2019 comes to an end, let us briefly reflect on the progress that’s been made over the past year. The female population has grown to outnumber that of men at colleges within the United States, and the House of Representatives has elected a record-breaking number of female candidates. Yet women are still not granted federal equality.

The Equal Rights Amendment, which passed Congress on a bipartisan agreement in 1972, requires the ratification of 38 states in order to reach the Constitution. Today, the proposal is reliant upon one more state for ratification — Virginia.

The Equal Rights Amendment was first introduced in Congress by Alice Paul in 1923 and is an amendment that “would guarantee that the rights affirmed by the U.S. Constitution are held equally by all citizens without regard to their sex,” according to the Alice Paul Institute, a nonprofit organization that seeks to achieve “gender equality for all.”

After so many years, the ratification of the ERA is long overdue. While the passage of the ERA would formally enforce that every American is protected against discriminative allegations based on gender under the Constitution, it would also mean so much more than that.

The ERA’s passage would be a symbolic victory for any person who has faced sex discrimination.

The ratification of the ERA has been a long time coming. Thirty-five states ratified the amendment within the first five years. However, momentum plummeted after Phyllis Schlafly, a conservative political activist, led a potent antiERA movement in 1972 in which she warned women that the “heterosexual world order would collpase” if the amendment followed through. After Phyllis, progress toward ratification halted until Nevada and Illinois ratified the amendment in 2017.

Although the proposal failed in the Virginia Senate by a single vote in February, newly elected Democratic leaders, which now dominate

pittnews.com

David Akintola | staff illustrator Virginia’s House of Delegates and state Senate, have made promises to push for ratification of the ERA when legislation reconvenes in January 2020.

“There is an important reality that most Americans don’t understand,” Nicole Tortoriello, The Secular Society Women’s Rights advocacy counsel, of the ACLU, said. “According to a poll by the ERA Coalition/Women’s Equality Fund, 80% of Americans mistakenly believe that women and men are guaranteed equal rights in the U.S. Constitution. In reality, they are not.

Even former Justice Antonin Scalia recognized that the U.S. Constitution does not prohibit sex discrimination.”

Within the United States, 42% of women reported that they have faced sex discrimination within their workplace, according to a study conducted by Pew Research Center. The study also revealed that women are roughly four times as likely as men to report that they have been treated as incompetent on the basis of their gender, and they are about three times as likely as men to say they have experienced repeated small slights at work because of their gender.

The reason that passing the ERA is so important for women’s rights is simple — any rights that are not protected under the federal Constitution can be taken away. Until then, gender in-

equality is merely a matter of legal interpretation.

While states such as Virginia have the power to put in place a state constitution, the line for classifying sex discrimination will continue to be blurred until there is a national standard set that will ensure a zero-tolerance policy in regard to gender inequality. The passage of the Equal Rights Amendment would draw this line by setting a national bar for sex discrimination to be judged upon under the federal Constitution.

Take the 2005 Supreme Court case Town of Castle Rock vs. Gonzales, for example. Jessica Gonzales sued the town’s police department for failing to enforce a restraining order against her estranged husband, who had abducted her three children and went on to murder them.

The Court ruled that state law did not entitle Gonzales to any mandatory action and that the 14th Amendment did not guarantee protection against domestic violence. However, if the ERA was in place at this time, the outcome of this case could have been much different, eliminating the gender bias that is so present in the disheartening police response to this case.

The addition of the amendment would also help to ensure that reproductive freedom is achievable by eliminating pregnancy and motherhood discrimination, which is apparent when legal and appropriate medical care for women is

November 20, 2019

inaccessible. The ERA would also mend the pay gap between genders within the workplace, resolving the inequality within pay, hiring and promotional opportunities against women within the workforce.

“In 2018, female full-time, year-round workers made only 82 cents for every dollar earned by men, a gender wage gap of 18 percent,” according to The Institute for Women’s Policy Research.

Furthermore, ratifying the ERA would help protect women against violence. This is especially important because as of right now, women who are sexually assaulted outside of places of employment and education have no real protection under the law.

“If we’re sexually assaulted, if it isn’t within the scope of Title VII as it understands an employment relation, or Title IX in education, we don’t have any equality rights,” Catharine MacKinnon, a law professor at the University of Michigan and executive in the field of sexual harassment and sex discrimination law, said. “The Equal Rights Amendment makes possible and makes constitutional laws we don’t have now.”

In fact, Virgina’s state constitution, which was amended in 1971, included the prohibitation of discrimination based on sex. However, the Virginia Supreme Court decided that it was unlawful for the state-level ERA to provide greater protection than the federal Constitution.

“Even when the text of the state constitution, the highest law in Virginia, would seem to provide protection from sex-based discrimination that appears more comprehensive than federal protections, those protections can be and have been eviscerated by the opinion of seven jurists,” Tortoriello wrote. “An amendment to the U.S. Constitution would provide the strongest protection available and a powerful tool to fight lingering sex-based discrimination.”

With the new year approaching quickly, it’s about time that equality becomes a priority within the legislation of our country. The United States will be one step closer to achieving the promise of “justice and liberty for all” once the Equal Rights Amendment reaches ratification.

PITT TEACHES FAIRLEIGH PITT SECURES SIGNEES DICKINSON A LESSON ON ACROSS THREE SPORTS SCHOOL DAY, 69-60 Sean Tierney Staff Writer

Senior Staff Writer Class was in session for Pitt women’s basketball Tuesday morning in front of a School Day crowd of 6,730 at the Petersen Events Center. The Panthers didn’t let those in attendance down, beating the Fairleigh Dickinson Knights 69-60.

The unusually raucous crowd was bolstered by school children from 58 local schools, who made up the majority of the 6,730 fans in attendance for the 11 a.m. tip off.

Speaking postgame, second-year Panther head coach Lance White expressed his appreciation of the annual event and its organizers.

“What a great atmosphere,” White said.

“This is my second School Day game here at Pitt, obviously we did one down at Cen-

pittnews.com

tral Florida too, but I just love the energy, the excitement of the game, and to give those kids a chance to experience Pitt, see this awesome facility and get a chance to watch our kids play and perform.”

Graduate point guard Aysia Bugg has been around for a few of these games, and said she looks forward to this promotion each season.

“It’s just a great environment,” Bugg said. “They’re cheering no matter what is going on, so it’s great energy. I’m glad we get to do this every year.”

Pitt responded to the support in kind with a solid performance on both ends of the court to move to 2-2 on the season.

Fairleigh Dickinson opened the scoring early with back-to-back 3-pointers from sophomore guard Lindsey Mack and junior forward Madison Stanley before See Basketball on page 7

Though several Pitt sports teams had earned commitments from athletes for the 2020-21 season, those commitments finally became official on Tuesday when recruits for the lacrosse, wrestling and basketball programs signed letters of intent during the NCAA’s early signing period.

Most notably, head lacrosse coach Emily Boissonneault secured the first class of signees for the newly established lacrosse program, the inception of which was announced in November 2018.

Lacrosse Boissonneault announced on Tuesday the first five signed players who will provide the foundation for the team — Emily Coughlin, Kate Elam, Madigan Lublin, Maureen McNierney and Riley Patrick. This group will arrive on campus for the 2020-21 academic year for the team’s inaugural season in 2021-22.

Emily Coughlin: Coughlin is a local midfield recruit from Plum Borough who has helped lead nearby Oakland Catholic to a Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League title and three section titles. Boissonneault acknowledged Coughlin’s local ties, saying it will be helpful for a team trying to establish itself from the bottom up.

“Emily is a Pittsburgh native that attends Oakland Catholic down the road from the University of Pittsburgh,” she told Pitt Athletics. “Emily will be a connector between the City and our team as our athletes begin to familiarize themselves with Pittsburgh.”

Madigan Lublin: Hailing from Penfield, New York, Lublin will provide Pitt’s inaugural team with a talented attacker. After helping lead Penfield High School to the state Class A Championship finals as a junior, she finished the season ranked 12th by U.S. Lacrosse.

Mareen McNierney: As the first-ever commit to Pitt lacrosse, McNierney has already etched her name in the program’s young history.

November 20, 2019

She comes from Malverne, New York, where she has experience as both an attacker and midfielder for Kellenberg Memorial High School and the Long Island Liberty lacrosse club.

Riley Patrick: Though the team’s roster is far from complete, it helps to know who’s going to be protecting the net from the first signing class.

That’s where Patrick comes in. A goalie and native of Bel Air, Maryland, she is a three-year letter winner for a perennially successful team at St. Anne’s-Belfield School.

Kate Elam: Elam will join Coughlin in the midfield and profiles as a strong, athletic player who doesn’t shy away from contact. A native of Pamplin, Virginia, she brings a history of success at the school, club and national levels. She was part of a runner-up state finish as a sophomore at Virginia Episcopal School, competed for Storm Elite Club Lacrosse in 2017 and played for the Virginia National Team this year.

“Pitt was my dream school not only because of how beautiful it is, but also because it is an incredible academic school,” Elam said. “I love the idea of starting a new program at a great place like Pitt in the most competitive conference for lacrosse.”

Men’s basketball On the first day of the early signing period, the Pitt men’s basketball team established the foundation of its 2020 recruiting class. With Max Amadasun, John Hugley and Noah Collier, Pitt’s 2020 recruiting class is currently ranked 10th in the ACC and 37th in the NCAA by 247Sports.

John Hugley: Pitt’s top commit comes in at 6-foot-9 and 240 pounds. Hugley is a four-star recruit and was an honorable mention All-Ohio selection as a junior. His large size combined with an adept offensive skill set should make him an effective scorer in the paint. Capel has already said Hugley could have a large role on the team in his first season.

Basketball, pg. 6 aggressive play on both ends of the court sent the Panthers on a 14-point run. Over that run, the Knights chucked up eight missed 3-point attempts while failing to record a point.

After a nearly five-minute scoring drought, the Knights responded with consecutive layups from first-year guard Maria Roters and senior guard Elise Graham, with Graham completing a 3-point play to cut the Panthers’ lead to a single possession.

From there, Fairleigh Dickinson turned to their veteran shooters in Graham and sophomore guard Rachel Niles to regain its form from beyond the arc.

Niles hit back-to-back threes to put the Knights ahead.

Fairleigh Dickinson’s prolific 3-point shooting was the story of the first half.

They pulled up 23 times from deep, knocking down nine throughout the first two quarters of play. With White opting for his preferred defensive look in a 2-3 zone, the Knights’ scorers capitalized on the open space.

Pitt, meanwhile, struggled from deep,

pittnews.com

attempting seven threes and hitting just one.

The Panthers headed to the locker room being wildly outshot from the field and trailing 38-37. All season long, White has discussed the learning curve for his young team and its impact on first-half performances. Tuesday’s game was no different.

“We’re continuing to learn and grow,” White said. “You have to walk on the court every time you play ready to play your best … Once we prepare, then they have to go out and execute from the time of the jump and throughout.”

The execution and energy from Pitt noticeably improved following the break.

The Panthers roared to a hot start in the third quarter with a 10-point run that opened up a nine-point lead. Pitt’s lead wouldn’t dip below four at any point in the second half.

Pitt’s biggest difference maker was the halftime adjustment out of zone defense and into a man-to-man look. They held Fairleigh to just two total 3-pointers, none coming in the fourth quarter. The Panthers also picked up their own offensive production with an improved field

goal percentage through each quarter.

White said he wasn’t happy with the execution of the zone in the first half, but praised the quick adjustments his players made.

“We are not going to be good at everything,” he said. “Obviously it’s taken longer on our zone than I would have hoped and thought that we would be better at this point than it is, so we had to get out of zone and go man in the second half.

I thought our kids on the fly with little practice did pretty well.”

Pitt thrived on scoring from up and down the bench with Bugg’s 17 points making her the only Panther in double digits. The Panthers added 18 points off the bench.

Pitt dominated the glass, out-rebounding the Knights 48-33 despite deploying a guard-heavy lineup for most of the game.

First-year guard Amber Brown led both teams with 12 boards while adding nine points, leaving her one point shy of her third straight double-double as a Panther.

Addressing the media postgame, “the real AB” — as she referred to herself — said her aggressive approach on the glass has always come naturally.

November 20, 2019

“I just go get the ball off the basket,” Brown said. “If I get it, then my team gets the ball so I just go get it. I like playing fast and getting the ball off the rim, but I like playing and I want my team to win.”

Brown’s performance on the glass was crucial to Pitt’s success, but it presents a new problem to White — managing the first-year guard’s minutes on the court when she’s performing so well. Brown finished second only to Bugg in playing time Tuesday with 34:58. “[Brown] is relentless, one of the most competitive players on our team, and she earns the minutes she gets,” White said. “I really struggle to get her off the floor and I need her not to have to play that many minutes, because even in those minutes she can’t perform as well as she can in having to extend herself that long.”

While not as heavily attended as some School Day games in the past, Pitt continued its strong record in that promotion, moving to 8-3 all time in School Day games after falling to UCF last season. The Panthers will look to carry momentum through into the City Game this Saturday when they host local rival Duquesne.
