Plans draw new attention to minorities
By Mark Martin
Kansan staff writer
A recent proposal by the African American Student Concerns Task Force and a resolution passed by Student Senate three weeks ago have rekindled debate concerning the creation of an administrative position responsible for cultural affairs.
Administrators say they are looking into the recommendations, but many minority students at the University of Kansas wonder whether their concerns are really ever heard.
"It seems like nothing will be done with this until students make some noise about it," said Peter Braithwaite, off-campus student senator and member of the African American Student Concerns Task Force.
Braithwaite pointed out that in 1989, a task force recommended that the University create a new position to oversee minority affairs on campus.
That position was never created.
Braithwaite co-wrote the Senate resolution this year, which demanded that the Office of Minority Affairs, which operates within the division of student affairs, be moved up to operate within the executive vice chancellor's office. The resolution also calls for elevating the OMA director to assistant or associate vice chancellor status.
Some think raising OMA's status would allow it to be more effective. Hispanic students have complained that the OMA has been insensitive to their needs and lacks Hispanic resources such as magazines and journals. Most say that with an expanded role, the OMA could serve minority students better.
"The problem with the office currently is that students come there with problems they're having on courses, and they need to go back."

Tim Dawson, chairperson of Student Senate's affairs committee and the co-author of the Senaction, said that the OMA was lost in the shuffle because it was too low in KU's organizational structu
"Right now they have to go through too many candy get anything done, he said. "They have to go to the student life, then to the vice chancellor for students and then to the president, before people at the top even hear about them."
Before 1987, OMA worked within the chancellor and the director reported straight to the chance office was moved into the student affairs division stands now.
David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affi the office was moved to student affairs because determined that the office's main function was with students.

Moving the office to student affairs would also contact with students and with other offices it work with, such as admissions and financial aid.
Ambler said that because of KU's budget constraint did not think the University would be able to creat
"The University is carefully studying the recoe report, he said. "One of their recommendation to create a University-wide council that could over the programs that deal with minority needs."

"With more and more minority students coming it may be necessary to have a representative at therative level," he said. "It would help to coordinate and assess the needs of minority students in all are
Administrators point to the planned multicultural as an example of KU's commitment to minority And minority enrollment has risen each of the las years.

"Right now, it seems like minority and cultural affair treated as a program at KU, instead of within UniStructure." Braithwaite said. "We need someone who's working with people who are asking what's going on, and what needs to go on."
