senior Veronica Holland said
The goal is not to got r,ff of
rat ml stereotypes, senior F.nka
Armsburv said, but to under
stand them and to open stir
dents minds to other views
about rai ml groups
Hut sophomore David fireen
haum said taking one or two
courses won't help students
understand race ndations
'The requirement ts • mating
more harm than good In making
administrators in the president's
office look better rn saving
then re moving toward a multi
cultural curriculum." Green*
liimm said
Supporters of tlie proposal,
such is University President
M\ les brand, agree that a course
requirement will not solve the
whole problem. However, they
sa\ it's a step in the right dine
lion
"because this state is very
homogeneous. Oregon students
aren't getting the same experi
ences one might get in a more
urliaii area," brand said "It
won't provide all the informa
tion they need to know about
race relations, but it's a good
start ."
Ultimately. some students say
they would like to see multicul
tural piTspec lives integrated in
all courses, instead of |ust one
requirement
However, some students say
the University is unwilling to
c hange the curriculum
"The dominant c ulture has
been unwilling to learn about
the other cultures," Holland
said "It's time we said Hey.
learn about us
Hut Greenhaum said that
pushing minorities' perspectives
on students is pist as had as
pushing white view s
Greenhaum said courses
should show how different per
spectives interrelate on c ertain
issues For example, a broader
Ameru an history c ourse that
showed how different racial
groups related to each other
would lie better than a course
solely on the Afrit an-American
experience in the United States
A question of money?
Economics Professor Henry
Goldstein, w ho said ho will vote
against the proposal at the Uni
versity Assembly meeting, said
he is opposed to it because tie
believes it will cost the Univer*
sity money ii doesn't have
"At a time when our program
in hash writing skills urgently
needs more resources, why
should we put additional
resources into women's stud
ies''" Goldstein said at the
March 1(1 University Senate
meeting
Goldstein said he heard Uni
versity President Myles Brand
say il adopted, the requirement
was going to cost an additional
$1M),(MH) to implement
No! so. Brand said The
money already evists; rather, it s
a matter of thinking ahead when
hiring and developing new pro
gram.. he said
"it will involve departments
taking into < onsideration the t ri
teria for deciding whom to hire
- thinking ahead, focusing our
attention and setting our priori
ties straight." Brand said
"Those opposed. I believe, are
using the financial aspei t as an
excuse
For example, if a department
needs to hire, it may look for
someone yvho has the skills ana
experieili e to possibly teach a
multicultural class. Brand said.
ASUO President Bobby I.ee
said courses that promote tradi
tional. Western thought will
have to suffer somewhat in
order to support multicultural
classes
"This University has built its
core curriculum on European
thoughts and the study and
at < omplishment of men." I .on
said “That privilege is now
liemg questioned
Politically correct mold?
Goldstein said he believes stu
dents shouldn’t he required to
take any multicultural classes
He said it’s an attempt by the
University to i reate a political
ly correct student laxly
"The requirement represents
an expanded attempt to mold
the sociological, political and
economii views of our students
along certain politically correi t
lines " Goldstein said
"The rhetoric is diversity," he
continued "But the real inten
tion is conformity — politically
correct conformity
This kind of thinking is dan
gerous. Brand said
"There’s a tendency to con
fuse these courses with things
they're not,” Brand said "It's
not an issue of political correct
ness or lilxtra! versus conserva
tive but. pedagogically. what is
most important to equipping our
students for what they y v i 11 need
when they got out of here."
Coidstein a!ho said he is wary
that if passed, the requirement
will lead to a more "leftward
leaning” of faculty members
because "the new faculty hired
to teach these courses will all be
politically super-correct." Con
sequently . he said, exposure to
different perspectives will he
narrowed, and students will suf
fer.
Too narrow or too broad?
Another professor who is
opposed to the proposal. Davi
son Soper of physics, also
believes it shouldn’t be a
requirement, but for different
reasons.
Soper said ho agrees students
should take two non-VVestern
courses However, he said stu
dents shouldn't be made to
study race relations in the Unit
ed States if they are more inter
ested in another i ountry
For example. Soper said he
believes if a student is interested
in Asian culture, the student
should he able to take two
Asian-studies i lasses, not one
Asian-studies class and one U S
rai e relations < nurse, as the pro
posal states.
1 don’t like to use faculty
power to make students take
what they don’t want to take,"
Soper said. ”1 like to let them
follow their own interests."
Anthropology Professor
Clarence Spigner. a member of
the Multiculturalism Curricu
lum Committee, which was
designed to review the original
race and gender requirement,
said knowledge of U S race rela
tions is crucial m understanding
race issues in other countries
"How is a student going to
understand Asians if he doesn’t
have a clue about what Asians
are experienc ing here?” Spign
er said
Whim lho proposal narrows
tlm scope ol classos that fulfill
the requirement. Spigner said
there will still be a wide variety
of courses to choose from.
The curriculum committee
also proposed a separate seven
member body that will decide
which courses — existing and
new — actually fulfill the
intended purposes of the
requirement.
Any professor may design and
teach a multicultural class pro
vided it meets the proposal's
guidelines and focuses on multi
culturalisin. Spignor said
"This does not negate any
professor, department or pro
gram from coming up with their
own course to address multicul
turalism." Spigner said "The
sciences, for example, could
stud) the sc ientifti basis for
racism, or they could look at
possible biologii al reasons for
homosexuality, and so on."
The purpose of the require
ment, Spigner said, is to get stu
dents to think critically,
analytically and logically about
multiculturalism
Those opposed to the propos
al. Spigner said, are afraid.
It stifles our control in the
classroom, they believe, and it
scares them.” he said.
