> 1.9% - The Future of the Black Male at UGA
> Thursday, March 6 - 6:00pm
> Georgia Hall B (Tate Center)
> Sponsored by: Graduate and Professional Scholars (GAPS), Beta Zeta
> Chapter of
> Omega Psi Phi, Other organized groups at UGA.
>
> The purpose of this event is to get feedback from members of the
> university
> community about why the number of African American men is so low at
> UGA.
> Furthermore, we will develop ideas and solutions that students and the
> university can implement in order to increase the number of Black.
> Since UGA’s administration
> has not solicited input from the Black community about this issue, we
> will bring our
> input to them. The final “product” from this event will be a drafted
> document to
> present to the University’s administration about why Black males are
> so few here
> and what programs they are strongly encouraged to implement to resolve
> this
> situation. This document will also be forwarded to different media
> creating
> awareness that the Black community has made recommendations to
> increase
> diversity at UGA.
