Cultural artwork, plush office chairs, updated computers, a television and lounge area are located in the Multicultural Center in the Union’s basement. But what the center possesses in style and comfort, it lacks in space. There is one room in the center with a capacity of 50 that often is divided to accommodate the Council of Racial Ethnic Students and its affiliate groups for weekly meetings. The bathroomless center is also used for minority sororities and fraternities, academic courses, diversity training programs and faculty and staff meetings. Traffic in the center has more than doubled since it opened in 1999. The minority student group council includes Asian Pacific American Student Organization, Black Student Alliance, Culturas de las Razas Unidas and North American Indian Student Organization. “APASO can’t hold their general meetings here,” said Maggie Chen Hernandez, coordinator of the center.
