LEAL'S TITLE CHANGE The following letter released Feb. 2, 1977, to Phillip Hubbard, Dean of Academic Affairs expresses the problems faced with a title change of Ray Leal's position. Philip G. Hubbard Dean of Academic Affairs 101 Jessup Hall University of Iowa Iowa City IA 52242 Dear Mr. Hubbard This letter is written on behalf of Chicano and Native American students at The University of Iowa to express our concerns and objections to the reorganizational plan pertaining to Special Support Services (SSS). We feel that the proposal being submitted by Ms. Colleen Jones, which includes changing the title of Assistant Director for Coordination of Chicano and Native American Programs to Academic Development Specialist and placing the Chicano-Native American Cultural Center under the supervision of the Minority Program Consultant, will adversely affect our future. Frankly, we are appalled that a decision of this nature has been made without our input. Historically, as you recall, Chicano and Native Americans have played an instrumental role in the development and founding of the Cultural Center and in the position of the Assistant Director for Coordination of Chicano and Native American Programs. It is part of our cultural philisophy that we be active participants towards shaping our destiny. The proposal being submitted by ms. Jones ignores this sulbural reality. Briefly, I will attempt to outline our major concerns as expressed to Ms. Jones at a meeting on January 20, 1977, and to President Willard Boyd on January 25, 1977. Reaction to Title Change: 1. The change strips us of our identity as Chicanos and Native Americans. The proposed title of Academic Development Specialist does not reflect the primary responsibility of the position--the coordination of Chicano and Native American Programs. Not only will we lose our identity on campus, which we have strived for during the last six years, but we also lose state and national recognition. [arrow pointing right] 8
