Tension over HSI Grant

Some campus groups feel that the $2.5 million Hispanic Serving Grant CSULB received last year is not being properly used, an article in the Daily 49er said Thursday.

The Chicano/Latino studies program was supposed to play a major role in deciding how to spend the money, but this did not happen, according to the CHLS faculty.

Twelve CHLS faculty members wrote a letter of no confidence to President F. King Alexander after he wrote an opinion column on the subject in the Daily 49er last year.

Earlier this year CHLS Chairman Luis Arroyo met separately with Alexander and the provost to find ways to get the faculty more involved with the HSI grant.
