The creation of an Ethnic Studies task force through the Student Association is important because it will institutionalize the ethnic studies commmittee. Dedicated students have been unsuccessful in creating an Ethnic Studies program for years. However, when these students graduate their work leaves with them, and students must begin the work all over again. Institutionalization will ensure that the Ethnic Studies committee exists until its objectives are met.
The committee will promote exploration of the social, historical, political, and cultural development of ethnic groups in America.
To create an Ethnic Studies major at Rice University.
The committee will have a self-elected chair and will be comprised of interested students of all years. Meetings will be held at least once a month.
The 2002-2003 co-chairs are Ishmeal Bradley (Martel '03) and
Charlotte Albrecht (Sid Rich '03).
The 2001-2002 chair was Ishmeal Bradley.
The chair of the Ethnic Studies committee will meet with the SA President no less than once a month to discuss the progress of the committee.
The committee will exist for three years after the Ethnic Studies major is implemented at Rice University.
