ABSTRACT: The University Commission on Human Relations of
San Francisco State University was appointed to study how
the campus community deals with human relations, focusing on
issues of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation,
disability, or religion. The study involved: three surveys
taken of students, faculty, and staff/administrators; public
hearings; confidential testimony; a literature review;
documentation of campus activities and visuals; and
examination of university policies and procedures. This
volume of the seven volume report covers: study
organization, planning, and data collection; a summary of
the findings; recommendations; and a bibliography of 24
resources. Ten general recommendations and 24 issue-specific
recommendations are offered, in addition to recommendations
offered in issue group reports. The recommendations concern:
establishment of an Office for Human Relations; workshops on
ethnic, cultural, and social diversity; relevant curriculum
and degree requirements; handbook of student rights;
recruitment of ethnic minority students; affirmative action
planning; staff hiring procedures; and others. Appendices
contain copies of administrative materials, a report of the
"Racism on Campus" Interest Group, and individual reports of
the five issue groups (racism and ethnicity, sexism and
sexual harassment, heterosexism and homophobia, disability
discrimination, and religious discrimination.) (JDD)
