Subject: Fwd: letter regarding San Jose State situation
 


Hello, All: 


      Would the Green Party of Santa Clara County care to endorse a
    letter from the local NAACP to the Chancellor of the California
    State University system requesting an independent outside
    "investigation of the treatment of the underrepresented African
    American students at San Jose State University, stemming from a hate
    crime incident reported in October 2013" (copy below)?  


      The letter has already been endorsed by Richard Konda, the
    convener of the Coalition for Justice and Accountability, by the
    Latino Victory Club, Pete Carillo, Alfred Morales, Elisa Marina
    Alvarado (Teatro Vision), Ruben M. Delarosa (Americans 'R' Us), Bob
    Nunez, and Walter Wilson (Black Leadership Kitchen Cabinet), among
    others.  


      If you'd like your name added as an individual, please let me
    know.  We will have the official endorsement of the Green Party of
    Santa Clara County if we can get two of Jim Doyle, Drew Johnson and
    John Thielking;  Betsy and I support this.  


      Thanks, 
      Spencer

In that there may be a thorough impartial / complete review of the circumstances, and matters of concern, relevant to the issues surrounding African American students at San Jose State University, the San Jose Silicon Valley Branch NAACP request an independent outside investigation.
Specifically, we are requesting the state and higher education officials to initiate an investigation of the treatment of the underrepresented African American students at San Jose State University, stemming from a hate crime incident reported in October 2013
The demands follow what the caucus called a serious mishandling of alleged hate-based crimes committed by four San Jose State students against a black suitemate beginning in August.
Only after the crimes were reported Oct. 14 did the months of alleged abuse come to light, which included claims that the suspects displayed a Confederate flag in the housing common area, collared the victim with a U-shaped bike lock and used racial slurs such as “three-fifths” and “fraction,” as alleged.
San Jose State issued suspensions of the three students in late November, weeks after they were implicated by campus police.
“The alleged failure of campus staff and administration to stop the abuse as soon as they learned of the abuse was shameful. “The inaction of campus staff and administration are indicative of a larger problem.
There’s a need of an investigation of policies or procedures of the system of San Jose State University
 “There need to be an analysis of the situation Black students face at San Jose State University. The lack of response has shown the degree of unimportance Black students have on (administrators’) list of priorities.
Actions of administrators that are inconsistent, incompatible or in conflict with the values established by San Jose State University negatively affect its reputation and that of its officers. Such actions and inactions thereby detract from the schools overall ability to effectively and efficiently protect the student, public and maintain peace and order on campus, and conduct other essential business.
Thank you for your serious consideration of the foregoing. 
                                                   Rev. Jethroe Moore II, President SJ/SV NAACP
