RESOLUTION 54

A RESOLUTION TO BE ENTITLED

An act to urge the North Carolina State University Union Activities Board to reevaluate the current name of
the Minority Career Fair

Short Title: Minority Career Fair Act (Public)

Sponsored by: Senators Fabricius and Palin

First Reading: November 20, 2002 Version Date: November 17, 2002

Referred to: __________________________________________________________.

WHEREAS, over 20 years ago, the first Minority Career Fair was held at North Carolina State University; and,

WHEREAS, the annual Minority Career Fair has grown to become the largest career fair at the University, attracting well over 100 companies; and,

WHEREAS, the Minority Career Fair is supported by capital and personnel from the student fee supported Union Activities Board and University Student Center; and,

WHEREAS, the name “Minority Career Fair” is source of considerable confusion to the student body and university community; and,

WHEREAS, statements in the nature of “open to all students” do not fully address a student’s concerns regarding participation in practice; and,

WHEREAS, renaming the Minority Career Fair need not affect its worthwhile financial support of cultural and minority programming; and,

WHEREAS, a broadly inviting name can only serve to increase attendance, and thereby the value to the attending companies and the profits of the sponsors; now, therefore be it

RESOLVED, that the North Carolina State University Student Senate encourages the NCSU Union Activities Board to rename the Minority Career Fair as to reflect its university-wide significance.
