To Whom It May Concern:
The Center for Intercultural Understanding (CIU) is of vital importance to Loyola University New Orleans. It gives the university a common area where race, ethnicity, nationality, socioeconomic status, gender/gender identity, religious conviction, sexual orientation, or disability status are recognized and celebrated. It is also a place where these different types of people obtain help for specific issues and problems.
The students and faculty of Loyola University New Orleans petitioned for the CIU for twenty years before they finally saw results. On December 8, 2004 the CIU was officially opened. It is now 2008, and the CIU is changing into an area that we, the student body, did not ask for. Though we do not have the final say, in the spring of 2008,we voiced our opinions and were lead to believe the CIU was remaining the same.
In the summer of 2008, while the majority of the student body is not present, unwelcome changes are being made. In %u201CThe Danna Center gets $3million facelift report%u201D, it states that the designer, Henry Munoz, %u201Cbelieves that the student center should reflect the diversity of the Loyola community. As a result, he placed special significance on the redesign and expansion of space for the Center for Intercultural Understanding.%u201D
The student body, that represents Loyola University believes the CIU needs to stay the same. It has made tremendous success and progress through its four years on campus. The changes that are being made can only cause a hindrance to that success and progress. The most important issue is the presence of professor Lisa Martin in the CIU. She should not have to move from one office to another to have a counseling session with a student. With all of the hard work and success professor Martin has accomplished she deserves her office to be located within the CIU. Secondly, the glass walls are an invitation for all to enter,fellowship, and communicate issues and current events. Professor Martin already has a separate office for personal one-on-one conversations and counseling.
We represent the students of various backgrounds at Loyola University. We are asking you to reconsider your decisions on changing the CIU. We, the Loyola Community, ask that you leave the CIU as it is. The CIU is more than an office to the student body of Loyola University New Orleans.
