Thursday, 5/8/97 Rebuttals
Editor’s Note: I deeply regret not publishing these statements
yesterday, along with the other candidates’ rebuttal statements. I
can offer no satisfactory explanation. The Bruin strongly
encourages/hopes readers will give these candidates equal
consideration in their voting decision. Geoff Martin Viewpoint
Editor Ali Mohempour Academic Affairs As the Academic Affairs
commissioner, I will not only address the concern of the
undergraduates at UCLA, but also those of the students in the
community aspiring to come to UCLA. I plan to not only strengthen
our high school outreach programs, but also increase our
undergraduate access to counseling and instructional facilities. I
will also attempt to increase student awareness regarding ethnic
and gender-related issues by forming a group of instructors and
students who would create a seminar or possibly GE courses that
would address these issues in an informative and interesting way.
My hope is that as the Academic Affairs commissioner I would be
able to assist and address the needs of both the faculty and
students to the fullest extent.
