BILL HISTORY

In 1985 the Free South Africa Committee (FSAC) was formed at CU to address the
problems of apartheid in South Africa. In 1988 the FSA.C became more active and
influenced Regent Bernick to draft a proposal to "divest" CU's funds from
companies doing business in South Africa. This was voted on at the March 17, 1988
Regents' meeting and was defeated by a margin of 8 to I. As a result, CU's money
is still supporting a segregationist government in South Africa. Earlier this year
the FSAC organized a rally which focused upon racism in the US and apartheid
policies in the Republic of South Africa.
The Free South Africa Committee organized a benefit at Tulagi's on Jan. 18, 1989
with the Samples and Big Springs. The FSAC raised $1400.00. Another benefit was
tena tively scheduled during February at JJ McCabes ( raising approx. $500 - $800)
but due to various scheduling conflicts this event will probably be canceled. In
November the FSAC s.u bmitted a 12 page proposal to the CU CEB and was denied
any funding for the Apartheid Awareness Week.
Apartheid basically means "separateness" of South Africa's four major racial
groups: Blacks, Whites, Asians and Colloureds. The black majority, approximately
87% of the population, are forced to live on Bantustans, supposed independent
homelands, which are in reality rural ghettoes comprising only 13% of the land.
They are nat able to vote, own property, travel freely and work in the country of
their birth. The white minority, approximately 13% of the population, own most
businesses, control 87% of the land, and as of 1985 were the richest cultural group
in the world.
The Free South Africa Committee plans, by sponsoring an "Apartheid Awareness
Week", to educate the public about the issues concerning racial inequality both
horne and abroad. Workshops, films, discussions, and debates, focusing on apartheid
in South Africa and racism in the US, will provide an indepth view of these social
problems. This event is not addressing "divestment" in general, but will explore all
options that will alleviate these racial .inequalities and whether divestment is a
viable method.
The FSAC has continued its educa tiona! goals and feels that a week long series of
events will bring th~se issues out into the open, to be discusse"d in public forum, on
the magnitude that their cr i tica 1 nature merits.
