In case the CAS faculty fails to reach definitive conclusion on Asian American studies ourricUlar proposals during the 1995-96 academic year, I will again allocate funds for four courses during the 1996-97 academic year," said Dumas. But the Asian American Advisory Board replied that the university proposal was not a guarantee that Asiail American studies woul? be taught at the campus. "We want to guarantee thatNU students will always have the opportunityto take a course on Asian Americans," they said. "This means tenure-track Asian Americanists must be hired. Your letter of April 20, 1995, demonstrates again your lack of commitment to this goal." JACLers, EEOP leader support Northweste

Responding to the protests for Asian American studies, theJACL National Youth/Student Council chaired by Kim Nakahara said, "The National Youth/Student Council is committed to the establishment of ethnic studies programs at colleges and universities and applauds the efforts of the Northwestern, Stanford and Princeton University students. It is ·sad that students have to starve themselves in order to gain basic . educational rights." In a letter to university president Henry S.

nti-discrimination laws, it is my belief that J.t the root of the discrimination and intergroup tensions that continue to plague our nation lies the failure to fully understand each other's histQri,es, similarities and differences." Igasaki, who graduated from Northwestern in 1976, said, "I learned much during my years at Northwestern. But in many respects, this was due as much to what the school did not provide me as for what it did ... Both to serve those students, but more importantly, to fill for the entire Northwestern community the academic vacuum that has existed for too long, it is time for the administration to create an Asian American studies curriculum." In a resolution passed at its district meeting, the Midwest District Council said it "encourages and supports initiation, mainte-Clinton to address congressional Asian Pacific

"If J ACL had run business as usual,we would have had a deficiency of$160,000." He also said, "You have to remember that people on either side of this issue had JACL's best interest at heart."

It is important for them to know that although the legal permanent residents may not be able to vote, Asian Pacific American voters will be judging their actions on this issue at the ballot box. The Senate needs to be told that discriminating against legal immigrants and their tax paying families is simply unfair."
