University committee discusses plans to revamp ethnic studies requirement

The Associated Students of Madison Diversity Committee met Monday to discuss its plans to challenge University of Wisconsin-Madison?s ethnic studies requirement, which was last reviewed in 2002 with few changes put into effect since. According to ASM Diversity Chair Mia Akers, the committee has a consensus UW-Madison?s three-credit ethnic studies courses do not reflect what is currently happening in the United States, and that most students do not take the requirement seriously.
