Studies Program, of the CLLAS, the Spanish major, minor, PhD and the Spanish Heritage Program are somehow forgotten or erased from this context, and I want to understand why this is. See the exchange below, I am surprised that after my feedback and co-sponsorship
of the motion these points have not yet made it to the new version of the motion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am writing to you as members of the Academic Senate. As you may know, there has been an effort to push the UO to become a Hispanic Serving Institution. Work has stalled since Karl came on board, but he now supports this goal. This is
good news, but thus far his plans do not include systematic engagement with the larger Latinx community on campus. Accordingly, Lynn Stephen, Audrey Lucero, and myself have been working with the leadership of the Academic Senate to write a resolution calling
for greater engagement. We have drafted a friendly resolution and are hoping you will consider being a co-sponsor. Gerard, Alison, and Dan are already co-sponsors. I am attaching a draft of the resolution for your review. <span style="font-size:10.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

we might anticipate in the process. <span style="font-size:10.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
