Call For Solidarity for Real Chicano/Latino Studies at MSU

This petition was published by Real Chicano Latino Studies on Sep 23, 2009

In solidarity with core constituents of Chicano/Latino Studies at MSU:

We demand the removal of Dr. Sheila Contreras as director of the program, as requested by the majority of all three tiers of Chicano/Latino Studies;

We demand that MSU applies its mission in advancing knowledge and transforming the lives of tuition-paying students, not to dismiss them or silence their voices;

We believe that the university exists to serve the students, not just administrators. Student rights are human rights and deserve to be recognized, including the right to dissent;

We believe that a Ph.D. degree does not grant someone a license to belittle and dehumanize students, staff, or persons in our community;

We believe that Chicano/Latino Studies exists to serve the needs of the greater Chicano/Latino community, not just for self-promotion or at the pleasure of the administration;

We are the Real Chicano/Latino Studies.
