Statement of Purpose
The Latino Committee on University Affairs (LCUA) has been established to
promote the development of educational, professional and career
opportunities for all Latinos at UIC and to work within the university on
campus-wide issues of general concern. The LCUA serves to advise the
various offices of the UIC administration on all matters affecting
Latinos.
Background
In 1978, a group of Latino faculty and staff formed the
Association of Latino Workers and began meeting to discuss issues of
importance to Latinos at the then University of Illinois at Chicago Circle
(UICC). In 1982, Vice Chancellor Richard Johnson appointed several members
of this organization and other concerned faculty and staff to the
Committee on Hispanic Education.
More recently a group of Latino faculty and staff (including members of
the aforementioned organization and committee) formed the Latino Committee
on University Affairs (LCUA). In addition to working with different
community groups and university offices, representatives from the LCUA
meet on an ongoing basis with UIC administrators to discuss relevant
issues and to develop strategies to enhance the opportunities of all
Latinos on campus.
