Committee on Community Policy (CCP) releases final report on racism
The Committee on Community Policy (CCP) synthesized the input they had received during the eight forum sessions and released their final Report on Racism to the public as planned. The report set a target goal of having twenty percent of students, faculty, staff, and administrators be people of color by 1995/1996. The report, which was motivated by the racial slurs painted across the steps of Lily Hall in October of 1986, was to be used to formulate a Smith Plan on how to effectively and concretely combat racism on campus. Such a plan was listed as the first of the Concerned Students of All Colors (CSAC) short-term demands, and many of the report’s proposals reflected other CSAC demands and grievances.
