Extractions: Revision: 11/17/00 INTERIM POLICY FOR CENTERS AND INSTITUTES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO I. Background A goal Superior research programs attract superior faculty and superior students, which constitute the heart of the university. These students and faculty perform research that enhances the visibility and reputation of the university. Research is about creating new knowledge. The core mission of a university is to preserve, transmit and create knowledge. Therefore research has a positive direct impact on the overall intellectual level of the institution, and the undergraduate curriculum. UNM has several unique characteristics that should be used to achieve the goal that it will establish itself as a superior national university: It is a Research I University, in that it satisfies the following criteria: offers a full range of baccalaureate programs; is committed to graduate education through the doctoral degree; and gives high priority to support research; receives annually at least $40M in federal support; and awards at least 50 Ph.D. degrees each year. It is classified as a minority institution.

Extractions: News By Hugh Mcintosh As the U.S. approaches a shortage of trained personnel, the government seeks to broaden the ranks of scientists WASHINGTON The federal government is stepping up its efforts to draw more minority students into science. But administrators both inside and outside the government say it's too early to know whether the new programs will be any more effective than previous programs, which were built on a desire to eliminate discrimination and improve opportunities for minorities. The new measures being taken, officials say, are based in part on the nation's economic self-interest and the fact that insufficient numbers of white students are pursuing careers in science. Officials have known for at least 30 years that blacks, Hispanics, and native Americans are underrepresented in science and engineering. But efforts to correct this imbalance have been relatively few in number and small in scope. Of those programs operating long enough to produce results, only a couple have been rigorously and publicly evaluated. Analysts are uncertain what benefit the rest have had individually, but their lack of overall impact is all too obvious. "We see so few minority scientists and engineers that whatever we've been doing isn't giving us the desired results," said Joseph Danek, director of the division of research and improvement at the National Science Foundation. In 1988, for example, black, Hispanic, and native American men and women earned only 308, or scarcely more than 2 percent, of the 14,000-plus natural science and engineering doctorates awarded by U.S. institutions.

The year was 1967. Cambodia had been carpet bombed, illegally, by U.S. President Richard Nixon, terrorized by Pol Pot's genocidal Khmer Rouge, invaded by the communist Vietnamese and torn by a decade of civil war. Dr. Kek Galabru, the daughter of Cambodia's first woman member of parliament, cornered Prime Minister Hun Sen, the Vietnamese-backed ruler of most of the country, while two of her friends appealed to Prince Norodom Sihanouk, the deposed monarch in exile in Paris. Galabru's efforts led to the first face-to-face meeting between the rival leaders on Dec. 2 of the same year and the fragile, flawed, power-sharing peace that exists today.

Amyot, a pioneer in preventative medicine, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Institute of Aboriginal Peoples' Health is a pioneer in Aboriginal health research. I'd just like to explain the banner on this slide. I think it gives a concrete explanation of some of the challenges that we face in Aboriginal health research. This is up in the tundra. Of course, it's starting to get dark up there in the far Northwest Territories. These little dots on the right hand side are actually buildings where people live. And so you get a sense of the vast desolate nature and some of the geographic problems of delivering health care services in a very difficult geographic circumstances.

Maurice Strong, UNCED Secretary-General at the Earth Summit, June 1992 The need to revitalize our commitment to sustainable development and the challenges of related concerns have prompted several hundred leaders and representatives of civil society, business, governments and the United Nations to join together in a global campaign Rio+5 ecosystem conservation and natural resource management; social development and human settlements; energy conservation and management; and the management of financial systems. The results of these inquiries will be reviewed and acted upon at the Rio+5 Forum, to be held in Rio de Janeiro from 13-19 March 1997. The Forum will involve a select number of key institutions, organizations and individuals who were at the Earth Summit, and who have been working on related issues and initiatives in the years since. As campaign partners and committed stakeholders, they will seek to agree on innovative strategies, policies, plans and programs for moving sustainable development The Road after Rio Agenda 21

Extractions: CLOSING THE GAP: A TEN POINT STRATEGY FOR THE NEXT DECADE OF DISABILITY CIVIL RIGHTS ENFORCEMENT August 10, 2000 NATIONAL COUNCIL ON DISABILITY I. BACKGROUND In 1996, 300 disability leaders at a national summit on disability policy in Dallas, Texas called for an end to discrimination and more vigorous enforcement of disability civil rights laws. These same leaders charged the National Council on Disability (NCD) to work with the responsible federal agencies toward achieving that goal. By 1996, NCD had already published several reports documenting indicators of weak enforcement and its impacts, particularly on communities of people with disabilities from diverse cultures. After the summit, NCD examined the practices and track records of federal agencies charged with enforcing major federal disability rights laws. In a series of reports entitled Unequal Protection Under Law , NCD documented findings and recommendations on the federal enforcement of the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA), the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Each report showed that despite great strides toward equality, people with disabilities still deal with major ongoing barriers of discrimination and the consequences of weak federal enforcement. This year in May, NCD convened Think Tank 2000: Advancing the Civil and Human Rights of People with Disabilities from Diverse Cultures. This group of experts from diverse cultural, professional and disability backgrounds was charged with developing action steps for fully implementing disability rights laws at the community level for people from diverse cultures and other under-served groups. Within a month after this meeting, NCD convened a second group, the Civil Rights Retreat, to build upon the Think Tank 2000 plan of action and the

Extractions: THE SECME MISSION SECME HISTORY AND BACKGROUND Background In the early 1970's, deans of engineering and business leaders, concerned over dwindling engineering enrollments and the increasing need for corporate leaders with technical backgrounds, convened to address these issues and other concerns. Mr.J. Stanford Smith of the General Electric Company in a speech which has become familiar to most in the minorities in engineering effort stated, ... "Of the 43,000 engineers who graduated in 1971, only 407 were black and a handful were other minorities and women. One percent! ...unless we can start producing not 400, but 4,000 to 6,000 minority engineers within the decade, industry will not be able to achieve its goals of equality...and the Nation is going to face social problems of unmanageable dimensions. The only acceptable solution is to take bold, innovative, all out action to increase the supply of minority engineering graduates-not by a few percentage points, but ten or fifteen fold." The seven deans founded the Southeastern Consortium for Minorities in Engineering in 1975 with the mission of getting more minority students into engineering by focusing on high quality college preparatory mathematics and science courses at the high school level. At the time of its first Summer Institute in 1977, SECME was almost alone in focusing on the importance of mathematics and science preparation at the pre-college level.
