"The campus is already pulled apart by tensions," former LaO President Efrain Cortes '94 says. "It's not due to ethnic groups, it's due to the lack of commitment of the administration to make minority students feel more comfortable at this institution, and a minority center would help."
Cortes says he thinks that most students think of themselves first as a member of their parents' culture and secondly as part of the larger ethnic grouping of "Latino."
Both organizations have had board members of other Latino backgrounds, but Cortes says there is a limit to how many groups one organization can serve.
"I would like for La O to reach out to all Latino groups, but if you reach out to all Latino groups you risk losing focus," says Cortes. "There are certain issues that are specific to certain nationalities."
