    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

Hi            Everyone:  Rev. Moore has drafted this letter – CJA would            like to sign on to this.  Also, if other groups can sign on            – that would be great.  Please let me know. 
        
Sincerely,            
        
Richard            Konda 
        
 
        
Chancellor            Dr. Timothy P. White
            California State University
            401 Golden Shore, Rm. 641
            Long Beach, CA 90802
        
 
        
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
