Maybe you could approach the president of the organization or perhaps the person in charge of publicity and explain that you'd like to understand the organization better by attending an event, but you can't understand the flyers.

The flyers may be only in Chinese because:

1) They may simply be ignorant to the fact that they are offending people.

and

2) There might just be a reason that they haven't told everyone school wide.

I know you're an alumna, so it may not necessarily be feasible for you to do this, so try to find another student who would be interested. YOU could be the start of something fresh and new for the campus!!

No use of me doing that anymore. This was at the school I went to as an undergraduate, and it's 2-3 hours away from Toronto. I don't really know about the posters at the U of Toronto itself, since I'm pretty much confined to one building for my classes! I do know that their public ads, seen in the Asian malls are bilingual. I'm not sure about campus posters, though.

i've never seen it, and i've been a member of several asian/pacific islander associations. but hey, if you say it happens...

All five Asian/Pacific Islander student associations here always advertise in English, and they are very diverse when it comes to that ethnicity (ie they're not predominantly Chinese or Filipino. I'd join one, but members of the Asian frat I pledged years ago are in them, and they all still hate me for joining another fraternity.

Interjection....You know, some people have OTHER people to take the TOEFL for them.

That Is All:)

Perhaps everything's in English because they're Asian/Pacific Islander associations, not ethnically based? Queen's University, where I did my bachelor's degree had several Chinese organizations alone, and this wasn't just to separate the Cantonese speakers from the Mandarin speakers. What's funny is that Queen's is often seen as a "white" school!
