"I think it is an unfair burden for students tohave to handle," says Angela Gonzales, the racerelations tutor in Kirland House. "I think theresponsibility for handling these kinds of issuesshould rest with the officials of the University.It's almost as if we are shifting theresponsibility away from ourselves."
Gonzales says she applied to become a mediatorbut still has mixed feelings about the involvementof students in race disputes. For instance, in aconflict between two ethnic organizations, thestudents will probably not be able to see past therace of the student mediator, she says.
"In say a conflict between the AAA and the BSA,the members of the BSA might not want anAsian-American mediator," says Gonzales, who addsthat she does not believe mediation training willbenefit the students personally.
Gonzales says, however, that the addition oftrained mediators would be helpful for conflictsin the upper-class houses. She also says she hopesthe race relations tutors will still be animportant part of dealing with issues of raceamong students.
"Mark [sic] thoroughly reviewed the entire case and diligently, professionally and enthusiastically prepared the matter for trial," Rooney wrote. "Although the defendants were ultimately acquitted after a bench trial before the Honorable Judge Gonzales [sic], it was through no lack of effort on the prosecutor's part!"
