Hello, All: <br>
<br>
<br>
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)? <br>
<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks, <br>
Spencer

Everyone: Rev. Moore has drafted this letter – CJA would

<div><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1f497d">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.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1f497d">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</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1f497d">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.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1f497d">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.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1f497d">San
Jose State issued suspensions of the three students in late
November, weeks after they were implicated by campus police.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1f497d">“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.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1f497d">There’s
a need of an investigation of policies or procedures of the
system of San Jose State University</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1f497d"> “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.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1f497d">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.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1f497d">Thank
you for your serious consideration of the foregoing. </span></div>
