Chicano Studies
• UW
students agitated to create a Chicano studies program on campus and
demanded that the university hire Chicano
faculty.
• They
used protest techniques--from meetings and petitions to taking
over school offices--in order to be heard.
•
This peaceful 1975
demonstration capped a long series of confrontations. After the University fired a popular
Chicano administrator, 20 members of the staff and faculty resigned in
protest.
