The Harvard Forum on Hispanic Affairs (HFHA) will host student representatives from several area colleges today for its second annual congress addressing Latin American issues.
A group of Hispanic students formed the Harvard Forum on Hispanic Affairs (HFHA) early last fall to address topics that concern all Hispanics, said HFHA President Juan L. Betancourt '93.
"Within the term Hispanic there are many diverse cultures: Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, etc. There is often tension between these groups," said Betancourt. "We wanted to alleviate that problem."
As of November 1, 1989, three percent of the full professors at the Med School were Black, Native American or Hispanic. Almost four percent of non-tenured faculty were minorities.
At the time of Williams' initial decision, Harvard administrators expressed concern that the University's attempts to increase the number of minority Ph.D. students would be crippled. Currently the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS) providesfull scholarships for Black, Hispanic and NativeAmerican doctoral candidates.
