Campus brief
Diversity strides examined
In their first meeting of the year, the President’s
Council on Race met Wednesday to discuss campus
diversity issues.
The PCR discussed the work that has been done by
the 10 summer diversity interns. Some of their ac
complishments include: diversity training for faculty
and students, minority recruitment and retention
programs, creating policies on hate speech and re
spect for diversity, a video about campus diversity is
sues, creating a Diversity Institute and raising funds
for the Diversity Institute.
Several members of the PCR expressed concern for
the fact that the most vocal advocates for diversity are
students and faculty of color.
“We need to show that this issue is not just stu
dents, it’s not just people of color, this is the Univer
sity of Oregon,” John Moseley, University provost,
said.
The tentative meeting times for the next PCR
meetings are April 4 and May 22 or May 31 at 8 a.m.

Gabbi Solis, a senior political
science and Spanish major, said
the discussion washelpful to her
understanding of the political
movements of poor people. Solis
said the presentation was helpful
because Piven was not complete
ly pessimistic about the possibili
ty of social change and outlined
ways activists can be effective.
Sandra Morgen is the main or
ganizer of the conference, “Work,
Welfare and Politics,” which be
gins today. Morgen’s seminar,
Women, Poverty and Social Wel
fare, engaged in a focused discus
f™'1"
sion with Piven.
“I organized my class to take
advantage of the resources of the
conference and Piven’s visit,”
Morgen said.
The nine-member graduate
seminar read Piven’s book, “Reg
ulating the Poor,” and additional
readings to prepare for the discus
sion. “They have plenty to talk
with her about,” Morgen said, be
fore Piven’s visit Thursday.
The third class with funding
from the grant is a political sci
ence class called Regulating the
Working Class. The discussion
with Piven will address how wel
fare controls the behavior of its re
cipients. Gordon Lafer, an assis
tant professor who works for the
Labor Education Research Center,
teaches the class.
The two classes not funded by
the grant that Piven will visit are
Communication and Democracy
and Women in Politics. Carl By
bee, associate professor in Jour
nalism, and Linda Shafer, gradu
ate assistant in political science,
teach the courses.
O’Brien said the Wayne Morse
Chair committee is currently ac
cepting grant proposals for classes
to be included in next year’s sched
ule of classes. Graduate students
and professors can submit propos
als for courses they wish to teach
and others can submit proposals
for classes they wish to take. For
