This resolution supports the establishment of minority cultural centers around Western Kentucky University's campus. It notes that cultural centers would promote a sense of belonging, support relationship building, and increase retention of minority students. They would also increase student involvement, build community pride and identity, and serve as safe spaces on campus. Currently, several benchmark universities have established similar cultural centers. The resolution aims to support the Office of Institutional Diversity and Inclusion in creating these centers to promote retention, diversity, and alumni support.

Resolution 14-14-F Resolution to Support “Many Neighborhoods, One Community” Cultural Centers Project
PURPOSE: For theStudent Government Association of Western Kentucky University to supporttheOffice of
InstitutionalDiversity and Inclusion in the establishment of minority cultural centers around campus in order
to promoteretention, diversity and alumni support.
WHEREAS: The cultural centers would be welcoming to all peopleand would promotelearning in regards to history,
heritage and culture of the different minorities, and
WHEREAS: Minority students areexpected to immerse themselves in thecampus environment, with no acknowledgement
of their culture and history. Thesecenters would serve as an entity that is devoted to being that spacefor
them on campus, and
WHEREAS: A sense of belonging and social integration has long been noted as an essential component to the success of
all college students, and
WHEREAS: Cultural centers play an important role in the retention of minority students. Supportive relationships with
peers, faculty, staff and administrators result in student persistence, which is positively correlated with
increased retention rates. Cultural centers are often where this relationship building occurs. Many students
come from environments that do not preparethem for college. Many of thesestudents, with the help of
Cultural Centers, devise coping skills and build confidence that allow them to function in theacademic
environment. Theseskills, coupled with other forms of institutionalsupport, help students becomeadjusted to
the campus climate, and
WHEREAS: Cultural centers also increase student involvement and leadership, build community, help with establishing
historical pride, identity, and self-preservation. Literature shows that these are essential components for
increasing retention of minority students. Thesesupportiveenvironments serve as a safe space on campuses
that facilitate student learning, enhance students’ leadership skills, and teach students theimportance of being
involved on campus, and
WHEREAS: The Centers at Western Kentucky University will be a place that affirms theUniversity’s minority
communities through encouraging academic excellence, supportingrecruitment and retention efforts,
providing specialized student services, community development and culture enhancement through
programming and networking, and
WHEREAS: Currently, the following benchmark universities have established similar centers: University of Louisville,
Berea College, University of Kentucky, Morehead University, Kentucky State University, Indiana University,
University of Southern Indiana, Purdue University, University of Tennessee, and Vanderbilt University.
THEREFORE: Be it resolved that theStudent Government Association of Western Kentucky University supports theOffice
of InstitutionalDiversity and Inclusion in the establishment of minority cultural centers around campus in
order to promoteretention, diversity and alumni support.
