Black Student Union co-Director Ttemaine Thompson agreed. “We’ve been getting more and more people,” in the past four years, Thompson said. Thompson, who started planning the event in October, said he thinks people are getting more involved in diversity issues. Afterward, the attendees partici pated in a candlelight vigil, walking around the EMU singing “We Shall Overcome” and then gathering in the EMU Amphitheater. “It’s an ongoing struggle,” Thompson said. “What (King) envi sioned was more than just a race thing. It was a unity thing. His reli gion let him believe that we all should get along and everything should be equal.” adamche7ry@dailyemerald.com Diversity: Number of minority students with disabilities also low Continued from page 1 we can adjourn whenever we’re all talked out.” Timothy McMahon, who works with the Teaching Effectiveness Pro gram, attended the meeting and said few people attended because Vincent has hosted similar meetings before. Steve Pickett, director of Disability Services, said in the meeting that the University lags in the number of mi nority students who are disabled. “We don’t see that many minority students with disabilities,” he said. “They’re dealing with a double stigma.” Pickett added that this “double stig ma” often makes parents hesitant to send their children to the University. Later in the meeting, McMahon said that tokenization is still a prob lem for minority students on campus. He said he’s heard complaints of professors singling out students based solely on their race. “We still have professors asking ‘What do African-Americans think about the war in Iraq?’” he said. Vincent said the preliminary set of recommendations will be completed by the end of the term so that facul ty, students and community mem bers will have the opportunity to re view and comment on them in the spring. He added that the recommen dations will be finalized by the end of spring term and ready for implemen tation in fall term 2005. “We’ll have it done by the end of spring quarter,” he said. “You can count on it.” The last “Community Conversa tion” will be held Wednesday, Jan. 26 from 4 to 6:30 p.m. in the EMU Walnut Room.
