Summit 2003:

December 1, 2003

To: Robert A. Corrigan, President, San Francisco State University Natalie Batista, President, Associated Students, Inc. Jim Edwards, Chair, Academic Senate

Subject: Report From the Summit on Race and Culture, November 14, 2003

In response to campus climate issues, you jointly convened the campus community in a summit to address issues of race and culture on campus. More than 500 campus community members participated in the summit on Friday, November 14, 2003. This process produced over 150 issues from community participants. Those issues formed the core set of data from which the community formulated 10 priority recommendations, and numerous strategies to achieve the recommendations.

There are three sections to the report. Section 1 provides a listing of the 10 priority recommendations from the summit. Section 2 provides notes on the complete list of issues and comments from which the 10 priority recommendations were derived. Where a participant’s original comment informed the creation of one of the ten priority statements, it is reported under that priority. Where the original comment does not fit one of the 10 priorities, it is listed at the end. Section 3 is a listing of the strategies suggested to achieve each recommendation.

This report is submitted as a working document. It intentionally maintains a significant amount of the original tone, style and sentiment of the public input. The work of the summit was to provide the shared governance partnership with guidance on addressing issues of race and culture on campus. First, the university is committed to addressing the 10 priority issues as a starting point for the campus. Second, the university is committed to reviewing all of the detailed recommendations and strategies to guide long-term planning and initiatives.

If there are any questions please feel free to contact me.

Respectfully submitted,

Kenneth P. Monteiro, University Dean
