<P><FONT size=2>Join us Thursday, March 11th from 11:30-1:30 in Room D121A/B for
a </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>Dialogue on Race and Racism in Higher Education</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>What: The recent incidents of racism at UCSD (and other forms of
discrimination at UC and CSU schools) have called attention to the continued
under-representation of students and faculty of color in the UC system and
throughout higher education as a whole. This is a forum designed to address
these issues and open up a safe place for dialogue with City College students
and faculty on these issues. As City College students seek to transfer to
institutions of higher learning such as UCSD and SDSU, this forum is also
designed to show support for our students in their efforts to overcome
institutional and social barriers to their academic success. There will be a
panel of speakers including students, faculty, and administrators addressing
different aspects of the issues. Students and faculty will also be invited to
participate in an open discussion and dialogue that will follow presentations.
