“$40 million is just a drop in the bucket for the university,” Frison said

have less African American students.”

The Afrikan Student Union called on UCLA to create a Black Resource Center
and a $40 million endowment to address African-American underrepresentation
on campus in a list of demands it released Thursday.
Fourth-year philosophy and African American Studies student and Afrikan
Student Union Chair Alicia Frison said the group worked on the demands
throughout the year and decided to release the list now in response to
recent incidents affecting African-American students.
“This year will be the 51st year the Afrikan Student Union is on campus,”
ASU wrote in a statement, “however, 50 years later we are struggling with
many of the same issues as our ancestors and elders dealt with in 1966. This
is unacceptable.”
There are 1,485 African-American undergraduate students at UCLA, which is 4.
8 percent of the undergraduate population.
On April 30, a picture that showed USAC President Danny Siegel holding up a
gang sign was leaked, and on the same day there was a shooting near
University of California, San Diego targeting African-American individuals.
ASU also cited racist stickers posted around the offices of the Academic
Advancement Program as a reason for releasing its list of demands.
“The demands are not really a response to Danny Siegel – there’s been a
lot going on recently, and it felt like the right moment (to release the
demands),” Frison said.
Frison said that many of the demands build on the requests the ASU made in
2015 after the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity and Alpha Phi sorority held a “
Kanye Western” theme party that many students said was racially insensitive.
Frison said she thinks most of the demands, including the $40 million
endowment and the Black Resource Center, are feasible because they have been
implemented in other universities, such as UC Berkeley.
“$40 million is just a drop in the bucket for the university,” Frison said
. “Berkeley already has a $30 to $40 million endowment even though they
have less African American students.”
The Black Resource Center would house meeting and safe spaces for ASU and
its projects, such as the Academic Supports Program, Students Heightening
Access Performance through Educations and the Afrikan Education Project.
Frison said ASU spoke with African-American students at other universities
that have similar centers when developing this demand.
ASU also demanded that the university create anti-discrimination policies
against prejudiced behavior. For instance, the group requested that all
incoming students, UCPD officers, faculty and staff go through anti-
discriminatory competence training.
Additionally, ASU said the university should establish the position of Black
Student Financial Aid Officer, someone who would advocate for financial aid
for previously dismissed students and ensure four years of housing for
black students.
Frison said that although the Community Programs Office has received more
funds following the passage of the Social Justice Referendum from 2016, ASU
’s SHAPE project, which is part of CPO, has not been able to hire more
students. One of ASU’s demands is for SHAPE to receive funding from the
administration.
“We’ve been denied new positions on our projects,” she said. “The
climate in CPO is very stressed right now.”
Frison said ASU is giving the administration until May 18 to respond to
their demands and schedule a meeting with Chancellor Gene Block.
“Recent events have awakened a lot of people’s attention to the campus
climate,” Frison said. “I am hopeful all the demands will be met.”
UCLA spokesperson Brian Haas said the administration is reviewing the ASU’s
list of demands. He added that minority student enrollment at UCLA has
increased by 13 percent since 2012 and the university has improved its anti-
discrimination procedures in recent years. | k******0
