"For several decades, UCLA has been committed to addressing diversity-related problems with "multicultural solutions." Like many of its counterparts across the nation, it has taken a variety of measures to address these problems and has put an extensive web of diversity-related initiatives in place. UCLA established four ethnic studies centers on campus in the late 1960s-among the first in the nation to do so. Subsequently, the university introduced ethnic studies majors; implemented ethnic studies research and teaching initiatives; established affirmative action admissions policies relating to ethnicity; and sponsored minority-targeted ori-entations, events, and tutorial programs. Further, the university has established programs that are intended to ease diversity-related tensions and has put into practice harsh punishments for students, staff, and faculty who violate or disrespect multicultural norms. Therefore, it is of urgent practical interest to know whether this training ground a model of the kind of multiculturalism making appearances at universities across the country-is an effective one."
