Affirmative Action Workshop

Whereas California has a majority minority population as we turn from the 20th Century into the 21st Century, and

Whereas this diverse population should be reflected in our faculty and students, and

Whereas affirmative action training has been inadequate in California community colleges and there is a possibility that such training will suffer more from the passage of Proposition 209,

Resolved that the Academic Senate direct the Executive Committee to work with the Chancellor's Office to hold a series of affirmative action workshops that will involve teams of attendees from all segments of the colleges in order to address ways of promoting diversity efforts in community colleges.
