WALK OUT OF CLASS ON MONDAY OCT 29, 2012 at 11:30am!
MEET FOR A RALLY ON BRUIN WALK AT NOON! WEAR BLACK!
Students of Color and our place at UCLA is, once again, UNDER ATTACK! SHAME!
Once again we are pinned against one another as students in the battle of "who deserves to attend UCLA". THIS IS NOT OK!
Here are some news articles for background to what we're talking about:
1. Daily Bruin: http://www.dailybruin.com/
2. Daily Bruin: http://www.dailybruin.com/
WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER AND STAND IN SOLIDARITY AGAINST THESE CLAIMS!
Under Holistic Admissions the Racial Background of the applicant is NEVER revealed. UCLA administration has repeatedly stated that race is NOT a factor in admissions decisions.
People, like Professor Sander, continue to question how students of color get into UCLA. What they fail to recognize is ALL the CONTRIBUTIONS we make to the University.
WE NEED TO SHOW THEM WE ARE HERE AND WE ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE BRUIN COMMUNITY!

**If you have a midterm Monday, please take your midterm and join us after**

Professor Sander has made numerous statements doubting minorities. He has questioned the abilities of students of color in prestigious universities, like UCLA.
In this article from CNN Sander essentially argues for a "Separate but Equal" admissions policy for students of color in higher education.

We Invite Professor Sander to review UCLA’s TRUE BRUIN Standards. The fourth value is RESPECT.
Professor Sander, students of color DO NOT feel respected by your arguments.
WALK OUT to prove our CONTRIBUTION!
Also, the data displayed in the Daily Bruin aggregates White and Asian student populations--as if they're the same. First of all, the Asian and Pacific Islander community is NOT the same as the White population. Secondly, this data also FAILS to recognize that the Asian and Pacific Islander community is very DIVERSE. Many groups and communities fall within the Asian and Pacific Islander identity and each have a different experience and different level of ACCESS to the university!
WALK OUT to defend our DIVERSITY!
Many studies have shown that greater diversity on campus greatly benefits ALL students!
WALK OUT in SOLIDARITY!
