A major speaker is coming, but exactly who may not be announced for awhile due to lack of seating availability Dr. Sweeney discussed Mosaic events. Lee Mun Wah is coming to campus to train volunteers to be Diversity Advocates". Bill Foster, a Journalism professor, will also be brought in to campus as a competent diversity trainer.

The event will take place on Saturday, February 28, 2009 from 10 to 5 p.m. students may register now. The committee showed tremendous enthusiasm and support for Lee Mun Wah. L.

Dr. Cortes will charge a fee of $4000 (inclusive of travel and lodging). The event will be set for March 17, 2009. It was suggested that LASA could arrange a dinner for Dr. Cortes and members could be in attendance themselves. No motion was forwarded. Dr. Fallahi affirmed that she would supplement the $4000 with money from her own grant. This was met with enthusiastic approval. Dr. Reginald Simmons Hip Hop Generation series was discussed. Dr. Sweeney suggested that the school radio station and the media board sponsor the series. No motion was forwarded. Dr. Fallahi discussed the event coming up on February the 19th. Marissa Mealy, a diversity speaker will be coming to campus with a lecture entitled: "Diversity in our lives". Dr. Sweeney discussed the idea of using the "Black Box" theater for the event. Issues of attendance were discussed for both Mosaic events and the Hip-Hop generation series. Dr. Merenstien discussed events on the curriculum subcommittee. Since our last meeting they have not met. Difficulties were discussed on many levels involving proposed additions to the current curriculum. Dr. Sevitch addressed some issues with advising and how advising issues might affect promotion of the diversity requirement the committee is backing. He discussed a growing enrollment of minority students and has spoken to the union about privatization of state schools. The question was addressed by the committee of the ability for urban minorities to pay for tuition if regional schools are privatized. The issue of minorities being able to afford textbooks and supplemental fees was also discussed. The issue of minority athlete retention was also discussed. Dr. Merenstien suggested that we ask for data on athlete retention for the diversity committee to examine. No motion was forwarded.
