Group works to save courses
By Colin Grey | August 22, 1995A small group of students is working tomake Latino Studies a permanent part of the College's curriculum. Representing this group, Ana Henderson '94 had separate meetings with College President James Freedman and Dean of the College Lee Pelton yesterday. The meetings were the latest result of Henderson and her group's efforts to petition the College to retain the four Latino Studies courses currently offered. Henderson said Freedman commented on the courses' high enrollments. Henderson and other students have met with other administrators including Provost Lee Bollinger, Dean of Faculty James Wright, Associate Dean of Faculty Mary Jean Green and Associate Dean of Faculty George Wolford, she said. Such courses are the only way to get students tuned in to the issues surrounding the Latino population, Henderson said. Spanish language classes are a prerequisite for Spanish department courses on Latino literature, she said. Wolford said the College has yet to make a decision. "We're wrestling with the issue," Wolford said.
