Ethnic Studies - Programs and Services

Whereas college environments can be perceived as being nonsupportive or even hostile to students in the "new majority," and

Whereas members of the "dominant culture" can, through their own ignorance and misunderstanding, contribute to a less-than-supportive learning environment for students in the "new majority," and

Whereas all faculty, staff, and students can benefit from learning to live more effectively in a diverse society,

Resolved that the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges encourage all colleges to develop programs and services for all faculty, staff, and students to educate and foster positive attitudes and interactions among the "new" and "old" majorities.
