Welcome, Guest!

I appreciate your suggestion, Mr. Butler, but there have been teachable moments all year long. It is after these conversations have been taking place that this editorial appeared. As demonstrated by the editorial, far more is necessary than the Minority Advocacy Program. Perhaps it is necessary that Uni have a forum similar to the one that took place on campus last week. Uni administrators may also explore some of the work being done on campus by the Chancellor's Diversity Committee. Some ideas proposed there are ways in which to integrate these difficult conversations into the required curriculum for everyone---students, staff, and faculty at UIUC. And as referenced in the News Gazette two weeks ago, there is a proposal to fund a "Project 200" that is an aggressive recruitment effort to increase the Native and Latino student population. Most definitely, we all have a lot of work to do.
