Latino students want better representation in academia – Princeton
Tagged: Chicano, HIV, New Jersey, studentPosted on: September 24th, 2007“A faculty and student panel discussed Latino issues Friday night, touching upon self-segregation, academics and representation at the University.
Held at the Fields Center, the event drew almost 100 attendees who mingled over Latin-themed music and food before starting their discussion on the “Latino problem” at Princeton. Topics raised included marginalization and underrepresentation at every academic rank and position.
“We don’t think the level of diversity is very high at this university,” said Victoria Laws ’08, who is the publicity chair of the Chicano Caucus. “We think there is a structural refusal to accept us into the Princeton makeup.”"
