UCLA considers new mandatory diversity course

April 30, 2009

The student government at the University of California, Los Angeles, is considering a proposal that would require all students to take a course on Contemporary Diversity and Identity Analysis.

The proposal is currently under review and will take a few months to go through the approval process.

A similar proposal has been a topic of discussion at UCLA for about 20 years. UCLA is currently the only University of California that does not have a diversity requirement.

The UCLA student government is working alongside the Academic Affairs Committee and Dean Judi Smith, the provost for undergraduate education, to coordinate the logistics of the proposal.
