Title
Chancellor's Advisory Committee on Mexican-American Affairs
Description
This document sets forth the purpose and structure of the Chancellor's Advisory Committee on Mexican-American Affairs. This document is undated. In the time line to the Chicano Studies program at the University it makes sense that it would be circa 1972. The committee changed from advising the President to advising the chancellor in 1972. Also, in the fall of 1972 Professor Grajeda alludes to this document in a letter to Chancellor Zumberge (click on thumbnail to enlarge image).
