MSU
Culturas de las Razas Unidas, MSUs Chicano and Latino student organization, released a statement Tuesday saying it isnt seeking an apology from a fraternity that painted over the organizations Hispanic Heritage Month display last month.Instead, CRU officials said fraternity pledges would have never painted over their display on the rock on Farm Lane if MSU administrators had done more to promote diversity on campus.The statement, agreed upon by a number of student groups represented by CRU, was announced at Tuesday nights meeting by Marcelina Trevino-Savala, the universitys coordinator for Chicano and Latino student affairs.We dont expect an apology from the frat because we realize the university is not upholding their mission of educating on diversity, Trevino-Savala said.Therefore we expect the university to start taking responsibility for these issues by educating the whole student body.The statement comes three weeks after members of Movimiento Estudiantil Xicano de Aztlan, or MEXA, admitted to painting the words racists over Sigma Alpha Mus display on the rock.
