[GSC-Diversity-All] DivComm outcome and Racial Climate Discussion TODAY!

[Elizabeth Margarette Clay]

Dear DivComm,

For those of you not present yesterday at the GCM, we did not get the sufficient
43 votes to be a standing committee. It was a long and tough meeting, that we
will all talk about sometime soon- but Brian and Francis did a great job and
this will not be the last of our efforts.

Just wanted to plug this event tonight- I can't be there- but it looks good.

Liz

 Subject: Racial Climate at MIT Discussion TODAY!
      To: bgsa at mit.edu, nsbe at mit.edu

In light of recent events on campus inlcuding the Professor Sherley Hunger
Strike and the vandalizing of the MLK 2007 Installation, we cannot ignore
the implications of racism on campus.  As minority students or anyone
dedicated to equality on campus, we need to address these implications and
raise awareness within MIT's community that this behavior and mindset will
not be tolerated.
