In response to the 2004 Asian and Asian American Task Force Report, we strongly urge the Cornell University administration to take a more proactive role in providing greater academic, professional, and social resources aimed at supporting the well-being of the Asian and Asian-American student population at Cornell, which comprises almost 20 percent of undergraduates and over half of graduate students. In particular, we support the following demands:
1. Creation of a centrally located Community Center
2. Creation of an Assistant Dean position devoted to the Asian and Asian American population
3. Expansion of the Asian American Studies Program to Department status
Seeing this conversation grow across campus fills me with hope because I know how long we have waited for our community to be properly seen. Your support confirms that the call for a dedicated center and departmental status resonates far beyond my own frustration with the current lack of resources.
