In this report, the Committee on the University calls for re-evaluation of some of the University's most honored traditions. It calls for revitalization of the traditional curriculum with integration of courses necessary for the complete education of the men and women of all ethnic backgrounds who will lead us in the 21st century. It calls for an end to the separatism that limits the opportunities of all members of the University community, and particularly our Hispanic students. And finally, it calls for an elevation of Hispanic issues, both educational and research, in the context of the University's priorities.

The members of the Committee are convinced that these substantial changes can be effected and that they will benefit the University of California. The President and the Chancellors must play the major role in conducting that change. Faculty, staff, and students will follow the lead of forward-looking academic administrators if they present- clear and well conceived programs. The existing Hispanic faculty, students, and staff are available to help carry out-the changes necessary to address the needs of California in the next-decades. But they must be joined by majority staff and faculty in these endeavors. The recommendations made in this report will contribute to the greatness of the University of California, and the Committee believes that the leaders of this University are ready to meet the challenges of the next century.
