Minority orientation planned
Kansan staff writer
by Cynthia L. Smith
"A lot of people come here, they hate it, and they leave," said Paris, Black Student Union president and Omaha, Neb., junior.
To help combat this problem, BSU and the Office of Minority Affairs plan to sponsor a minority new student orientation next fall.
"We would include representatives from every student organization at the University of Kansas, not just the university's minority organizations," she said.
She said students also would meet minority faculty members and administrators.
Sponsoring a special orientation program for minority students was suggested in the report of the Minority Issues Task Force released Oct. 21.
Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, said she supported BSU's efforts.
The Minority Issues Task Force was established because of a public forum featuring the Ku Klux Klan on March 7, 1988, at Hoch Auditorium. Task force membership included students, faculty and staff.
The task force was divided into four subcommittees to study previous task force reports, opportunities for diversity, priority participation and related issues.
The report focused on blacks. Asian Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans.
The report said that better recruitment was needed to increase the number of minorities at KU. The other recommendations were to provide a positive academic environment for minorities and to encourage KU to value its diversity and condemn racism.
The task force also offered specific suggestions for meeting those goals.
Ramaley said committee members were meeting to study how to implement their suggestions.
"We're working to integrate ideas into a workable plan," Ramalley said. "You have to tack it down to. Who will do it? What will it cost to do it?"
"There are things we're already doing, but we simply need to do more or better," she said.
She said she hoped the committees would finish their implementation study by Feb. 15.

"This Minority Issues Task Force Report will get translated into actions," she said.
Many of the report's recommendations have been fulfilled.
Ramley said administrators had begun this year to coordinate the minority post-doctoral program with departments that would be hiring. She said the effort would increase the number of minority faculty members.
