As a UCLA student, I recognize the 17-year struggle by students on campus for the implementation of a Diversity Requirement at UCLA, which is the only UC lacking such a requirement. I support the implementation of a Diversity Requirement at UCLA, which would expose all students to the experiences of traditionally marginalized communities in the U.S. and around the world. I also affirm that diversity is an essential part of my education. Understanding the role of racism, sexism, homophobia, elitism, religious persecution, and other forms of oppression is of utmost relevance and importance if I am to learn, work and thrive in an increasingly multicultural society and world. I urge the Academic Senate to approve of the Diversity Requirement by the end of this academic school year 2003-2004.
