Special Report: Defining Diversity

 

MORE THAN N

Many UK students and faculty
say that interaction and unity —
not percentages — are the keys to
creating a truly diverse campus.

By Danielle Kornis
THE KENTUCKY kmnn

Celia Ammerman doesn't usually
see students from different ethnic or
racial groups interacting with one an-
other at UK.

“It's hard enough to come to a
school that's large and their to branch
out that's difficult.“ said the white
junior from (‘ynithiana Ky. glancing
out the window at Intermezzo Cafe in
Patterson Office 'Ilower.

A building away. some black stu-
dents sit in the Student (‘enter food
court by KP‘C and Bonici Brothers piz-

They laughed when they were asked if
UK is diverse.

“I don‘t think there's many people
who try to cross barriers." said I-‘ran-
cis Cooper. an undecided sophomore
who is black. “I don't really hang out
with white people.“

Though there is a greater represen-
tation of racial minorities today than
there was 10 years ago. students say
that interaction between people of dif-
ferent backgrounds is important.

Diversity is more than having sat-
isfactory percentages of racial and eth~

In an extraordinary

for hours in a hot sunshine
that faded into the cool shadows of

in a recent Kentucky Kernel round»
table discussion on diversity at UK.
The panel was made up of 15 students
and faculty members of different
racial and ethnic backgrounds.

“You can‘t say I understand Chi-
nese people because I visited the Great

discussion. Diversity is when people
from different backgrounds face chal-
lenges together. like being “stuck in
the dorm and there's no air condition-
ing." Voss said. “That‘s when you un-
derstand each other"

Most universities do not typically
take this kind of definition into ac-
count in setting goals for diversity

And UK is no different.

Goal No. 5 of UK‘s 200306 Strategic
Plan states: “We must foster a creative.
supportive environment that will nur-

By Elizabeth Troutman

Provost Mike Nietzel
asked members of the
University Senate Coun-
cil for their support of
next semester's winter
intercession at its meet-
ing yesterday

Nietzel and Phil
Greasley. dean of univer-
sity extension. discussed
the value of the winter
intercession with mem—
bers of the council to set
flee the lingering con-
cerns and skepticism of
some faculty

Last week. members
of the council questioned
a comprehensive survey
that reflected a positive
reaction to the interces-
sion from students and
instructors.

Several members
thought that the $2.700
salary for instructors
was too low for a four—
week session.

()ther council mem-
bers were concerned that
the short session lacked
academic value.

Bob Grossman. a
chemistry professor. said
he wants to ensure the
academic quality of the
courses offered during
the session by conduct-
ing a proper evaluation.

”What I am con-
cerned about. to be blunt.
is a student pretends to
learn something. the uni-
versity pretends to teach
something. and nobody
at tually learns any
thing.” he- said.

Nietzel said the win—
ter program has proved
valuable at other res
spectable universities.

"We need to go for-
ward." he said.

“We are at a point
where we are asking for
an endorsement. I think
it was a successful first
term "

Michael Cibull. a
pathology professor.
agreed with Grossman's
proposal to evaluate the
courses before calling
the session a success.

“I think it is fine to
say other people have
done it and it works. but
if you are starting some-
thing new. it behooves
you to do that." he said.

"I think it's a great
idea it might work for
required courses. but you
don't have proof of that."

(ireasley conducted
research and surveys to
determine the academic
quality and overall sitc-
cess of the winter pro-

BISBEE. Ariz. , Penny Magnotto and
Gayle Nyberg stood at their post on a forbid-
ding stretch of desert road. staring down the
seven strands of barbed wire separating
them from Mexico.

The Southern California women had
risen at dawn in their makeshift quarters at
a nearly defunct Bible college to join scores
of other volunteers from around the country
on the first official day of a highly symbolic
crusade.

They stood ready binoculars. walkie-
talkie. sunblock. water A and gazed at the
motionless landscape of sand and brush.

“If we see any immigrants. we’ll first ra-
dio someone. and then call Border Patrol."
said Nyberg. 56. in a camouflage jacket.

“We can ask them if they‘ll wait." ex-
plained Magnotto. 61. in a red. white and
blue Windbreaker. “but we can‘t touch
them."

But had they seen anyone on this stretch
of border. the illegal entry point for hun-
dreds a year?

Well. no. they said. Not yet.

With the start of the Minuteman Project

a combination “civilian patrol" and immi-
gration protest — officials with the US. Bor-
der Patrol were reporting a sharp drop in the
number of illegal crossers apprehended
along a stretch of border said to be the most
porous in the nation.

Organizers of the effort decried by
President Bush as “vigilante" activity and by
Mexican President Vicente Fox as an “immi-
grant hunter" ,-, claimed an early victory.

"We've completely locked down the bor-
der." said Larry Morgan. a volunteer from
Long Beach. Calif. Sightings of 24 potential
crossers were reported to authorities. Min-
utemen organizers said.

But border officials and others said the
decrease probably had less to do with

Minuteman vigilance than a military pa-
trolling effort on the Mexican side of the bor-
der ,_ not to mention the boisterous protest-
ers. counter-protesters and satellite’equipped
TV trucks gathered on the usually desolate
dirt road between Douglas and Naco, Ariz.

“Migrants aren‘t crossing here; that's the
effect." said Scott Kerr. 29. a worker with

Christian Peacemaker Teams. a relief group
that leaves water and food for immigrants
trying to cross the treacherous. dry terrain.
“Some days we‘ll encounter hundreds. Today
we didn't see any."

The full impact of the Minuteman Pro-
ject remained elusive Monday

Organizers said more than 400 people had
arrived over the weekend for orientation ses-
sions and rallies. the first wave of the 1.300
volunteers they expect to participate in some
part of the month-long desert vigil.

Thus far. there were no immediate signs
of the white supremacist gangs or other
troublemaking groups that local officials
feared would be drawn by the event. and no
reports of clashes or violations.

But the event also seemed much smaller
than advertised.

Organizers had promised to place teams
of monitors at quarter-mile or half-mile in-
tervals along a 23-mile length of border.

But by mid-morning Monday. all of the
visible activity was clustered around a two-
mile stretch. where a dozen or so teams were
stationed.

Organizers said others were as far as

three miles back from the border or sta-
tioned in canyons. away from the dirt road.

Even as they gazed out at the border with
binoculars. many of the Minutemen ac-
knowledged that making a point was their
true purpose.

“l'm a right-wing conservative Bush sup
porter. and I think Bush is wrong on immi-
gration." Morgan said. citing the president's
support of a guest-worker program that
would allow more Mexicans to work legally
in the United States on a temporary basis.

Morgan. 60. a general contractor. stood on
a hillside with two other men. monitoring
the barbed-wire fence and sharing griev-
ances about border crossers.

They complained about provisions in
some states to issue driver‘s licenses or in-
state tuition rates to illegal immigrants.

Darrel Wood, 44. a fiber-optics engineer.
said eight of the 10 most-wanted criminals in
his home state of Utah are illegal immi-
grants; Morgan blamed them for prison over-
crowding and California‘s fiscal crisis.

“It‘s affecting my children at school."
Wood said. “They're suffering. trying to get
these immigrant kids up to speed."

They offered each other

A few people fainted and
were helped away from the

gram.

Greasley said schedule
changes may be implement-
ed next year along with bet-
ter Internet assistance for
students online.

He thinks that more
money will be needed to
provide additional courses
next winter.

“We tried to keep this as
clean as possible." he said.
“Every student who en-
rolled paid lower~division
resident tuition. There is
not doubt in my mind that
the money that comes into

it is much higher“

Cibull requested an
amendment to the proposal
to endorse the program by
requiring an organized eval-
uation process and consid-
eration of a set pay for fac-
ulty members.

Nietzel said that
stipends of $2.700 are con-
tributed to the college and
that most instructors re-
ceived a higher salary for
teaching the intercession.

Most professors received
more for teaching the win-
ter session than the sum-
mer session.

"We wanted to see the
economics of this." said Ni‘
etzel. “It is a completely vol-
untary thing for a faculty
member to do."

The winter intercession
allowed about 371 students
to take a three-hour course
during a 4-week period.

More than 50 percent of
students rated the value of
the courses as “excellent."

In other action. the Uni-
versity Senate Council de-
cided to table another issue
concerning a new academic
offense policy until June.

The Senate has reviewed
a new policy to implement
the use of “XE" to signify
an academic offense on a
student's transcript.

Members of the Senate
await a Board of Trustees
decision concerning the
new Student Code of Con-
duct before deciding on a
resolution to the offense pol-

icy. organized by Bob Gross-
man.

The Board of Trustees‘
next meeting is scheduled
for May.

“I was supportive of a
review of the academic of-
fenses policy,"said Ernie
Yanarella. a political sci-
ence professor and chair-
man of the council.

“1 am hopeful that once
we have our signals clear
from Board of Trustees. we.
the Senate council and the
larger body. will have the
opportunity to consider
very carefully those recom-
mendations that would
strengthen the University of
Kentucky."

Bush honors soldier killed in Iraq

By Elise Castelli
ios incurs TIMES

WASHINGTON Two
years to the day after Army
Sgt. 1st Class Paul Ray Smith
was killed defending his unit
from an enemy attack near
the Baghdad airport. Presi-
dent Bush on Monday pre-
sented his family the first
Medal of Honor awarded in
more than a decade.

In a tear~filled White
House ceremony. Bush hand-
ed Smith‘s 11-year-old son.
David. the nation‘s highest
award for valor in combat.

“Scripture tells us that
a man has no greater love
than to lay down his life for
his friends. And that is exact-
ly the responsibility Paul
Smith believed the sergeant's
stripes on his sleeve had giv-
en him." Bush told an audi-
ence that included Air Force
Gen. Richard B. Myers.
chairman of the Joint Chiefs

of Staff. and US. Defense
Secretary Donald H. Rums-
feld.

“In a letter he wrote to
his parents but never mailed.
he said that he was prepared
to ‘give all that I am to en-
sure that all my boys make it
home.”

On April 4. 2003. as his
unit of the 11th Engineer
Battalion of the 3rd Infantry
Division advanced. it was at-
tacked by more than 100
members of Saddam Hus-
sein‘s Republican Guard.

()utnumbered and out in
the open. Smith climbed
aboard an armored person-
nel carrier and began shoot-
ing a .50-caliber machine
gun. firing more than 300
rounds of ammunition.

He held off the attack.
killing nearly 50 Republican
Guard soldiers and protect-
ing his own men before being
mortally wounded by Iraqi
fire.

“Sgt. Smith's leadership
saved the men in the court-
yard. and he prevented an en-
emy attack on the aid station
just up the road." Bush said.
“We thank his family for the
father. the husband and son
and brother who can never
be replaced.”

In his remarks. the presi-
dent recalled a young man
who, after graduating from
high school in Tampa. Fla,
joined the Army in 1989 and
received “extra duty
scrubbing floors" for misbe-
havior with friends.

But that soldier became.
the president said. a “devoted
family man who played T-
ball with his son and taught
his daughter how to change
the oil in his Jeep Cherokee.“

Smith's wife. Birgit.
whom he met in 1990 while
stationed in Germany.
clutched the left hand of her
18-year-old daughter, Jessica.
and wept as the president

handed the framed medal,
with its signature blue rib-
bon with 13 stars. to her son.

“Every one of our sol-
diers deserves the title of a
hero." Birgit Smith, who
lives in Holiday. Fla, said af-
ter the ceremony. “To truly
honor Paul. we must honor
all the soldiers and the work
and sacrifice they do on a
daily basis in Iraq.
Afghanistan and around the
world."

The last combat action in
which Medals of Honor were
awarded was Somalia. Two
were given to Army
sergeants killed in the Octo-
ber 1993 “Black Hawk Down"
incident in Mogadishu.

Recommendations for the
Medal of Honor take at least
18 months to investigate. In-
cluding the award to Smith.
3.460 Medals of Honor have
been presented since the
award was established in
1861.

 

Congress returns, still debates Schiavo

By Charles Babinqtpn

THE WASHINGTON POSTE

WASHINGTON Repub-
lican members of Congress
now face a political landscape
that‘s considerably more
problematic than the one
they left two weeks ago. when
the House and Senate ad-
journed for Easter recess.

The highly emotional Ter-
ri Schiavo case divided Re-
publican-leaning voters and
drew Congress into an extra-
ordinary Palm Sunday inter-
vention. which is now fueling
claims that party leaders are.
out of step with mainstream
America.

House Majority Leader
Tom l,)el.a_v. R-Texas. already
battling ethics charges. added
to his combative reputation
by bitterly attacking state and
federal judges who rejected
multiple pleas to keep the

 

brain-damaged Florida
woman alive.
Meanwhile. his allies

were rattled by criticisms
from several conservative
publications. including a Wall
Street Journal editorial that
accused DeLay of abuses that
“sooner or later will sweep
him out.”

President Bush's top pri-
ority. restructuring Social Se-
curity. made little if any
progress despite his all-out
campaigning during the re-
cess. key lawmakers said.

And the Senate seems
closer than ever to a major
collision over judicial nomi-
nations. a topic made even
more emotional by the role of
federal judges in the Schiavo
case.

Aides to Senate Majority
Leader Bill Frist. R-Tenn.
said Monday that he soon will
offer Democrats a compro-
mise on the long-standing im-
passe. even though a growing
number of conservative ac-
tivists are pressing him to
force a showdown now.

Democrats predict the of-
fer will be too flimsy to entice

them to stop filibustering sev-
eral appellate court nomi-
nees. but the mere fact that
Frist is talking of negotia-
tions. they say. convinces
them he lacks the 51 votes he
needs to change the filibuster
rules in a chamber with 55
GOP members.

The mixture of issues and
events. some top Republicans
say. puts the party at a precar-
ious juncture. where it needs
to reassure voters that its
leaders are ethical and fo-
cused on hearth-and-home is-
sues such as jobs. affordable
gasoline and secure retire-
ments.

Sen. Lindsey 0. Graham.
R-S.C.. says De

mocrats suffered “That's a
cocktail for

the 1990s when an

Florida court decisions allow-
ing Schiavo's feeding tube to
be removed. One appellate
judge chastised Congress and
Bush for their actions. _

Fabrizio said voters “are
probably wondering why we
can‘t get deficit reduction or
tax reform or Social Security
reform as quickly as we got
the Schiavo bill“ from the Re-
publican-controlled Congress.

Because conservative
Christian activists were seen
as pushing the legislation. he
said. “that's a symbol of what
your (party‘s) priorities are.
and you‘d better show them
another symbol."

Also during the recess.

1989 became a ' ' ' Kingston dis-

larger symbol of
his party than its
platform issues.

“That‘s a cock-
tail for disaster.”
Graham said. If a political
leader's personal problems
are coupled with “some policy
decisions that are disconnect-
ed to the public. then you‘ve
got an opening“ for trouble.
he said. “If we don't watch it.
it could happen to us.“

Graham is wary of some
Republicans” calls for further
Schiavo-inspired legislation.
such as a federal definition of
"persistent vegetative state.“
The states. he said. "are capa-
ble of defining end-of—life
terms."

Republican pollster Tony
Fabrizio said several national
surveys found that 60 to 80
percent of Americans op-
posed (‘ongress's March 20 in-

ings in his district recently

With the Schiavo case

Bush made modest progress
in his 60-day campaign to
build support for adding per-
sonal accounts to Social Secu-
rity. key players said.

“I believe it's about where
we left off two weeks ago."
Sen. Charles E. Grassley: R-
Iowa. said at the end of the
recess. He is the Chairman of
the Finance Committee.
which is responsible for So-
cial Security legislation.

But Grassley said he is op
timistic that support for the
president‘s efforts will grow
as more Americans realize

are mixed with

that Social Security faces
long-term solvency problems.

Grassley told Republican
committee staff members
Monday that he will press for-
ward with Social Security
legislation this year.

At a meeting attended by
staff members and Sen. Or-
rin G. Hatch. R-Utah. Grass-
ley said he will call a Social

to put a bill before the com-
mittee in July. according to
GOP aides who attended the
meeting.

Only last week. Grassley
told reporters he did not be-
lieve Social Security legisla-
tion could be passed this year.

But underscoring the diffi-
cult road said the president’s
Social Security plan would
swell the national debt
tremendously if the move is
not accompanied by signifi-
cant cuts to promised benefits.

Under Bush’s proposal for
private accounts. the national
debt would more than triple.
from about 40 percent of the
economy. or gross domestic
product. to 150 percent of
GDP by 2072.

“That does not sound like
something the Democrats
would sign on to." the aide
said Hatch remarked.

Like Bush. Grassley is fo-
cusing mainly on the proposal
to allow private accounts.
which would divert a portion
of workers‘ payroll taxes into
stock and bond portfolios that
would follow them into retire
ment.

To some. the darkest
cloud above Congress is the
Senate's looming Clash over
judicial nominees.

Democrats have used the
filibuster M which can he
stopped only by 60 votes in
the 100member chamber ,
to thwart several of Bush‘s
most conservative appellate
court appointees.

Republican leaders have
threatened to change Senate
rules to bar such filibusters.

I believe it’s about where we left off two weeks ago.”

- Sen. Charles E. Grassley, R-lowa, on where the Senate stands on Social Security reform. He is the chairman of
the Finance Committee. which is responsible for Social Security legislation.
