UA Hispanic student center to stay open
An e-mail sent out this afternoon says the Chicano/Hispano Student Affairs Center will remain open.
Here’s the message:
Hey everybody!
I just spoke with Socorro, and she says the Chicano/Hispano Student Affairs is staying OPEN!!!! Official word from Melissa Vito and Shelton will come soon!!! So come over to Chavez and celebrate!!
Socorro is requesting help from anyone who is available to re-post pictures,
signs, etc.
Thanks,

The UA announced earlier this year that it wanted to merge all of the minority student centers to save money. That effort has sparked protest and pushback from faculty, students and community members.
No word on whether other student centers will also remain open or just the Chicano/Hispano center.

I just knew they would cave on this. I guess equality is fine until they tell you you have to share with someone else. What a load of horse sh*t. What is so bad about having a little ethnic diversity in ONE program.
