RECOMMENDATIONS: 1.The institute of Ethnic Studies should be an aggregation of undergraduate courses that constitute an academic minor in an interdisciplinary program. 2.The academic standards of the institute must be as rigorous as other University departments. 3.A significant number of the courses should be offered at the Freshman and Sophomore level. 4.We strongly urge that Education and Criminology majors be required to take some of these courses. 5.Most importantly we feel that a director should be employed to coordinate, evaluate, and advocate the proposed Institute.
