A BILL
BILL HISTORY
AGEUS (General Association of Salvadoran University Students) has
been struggling against severe government repression for decades.
Affiliated with the NES (National University of El Salvador) , the
students have been systematic targets of assassinations, disappearances and torture.
In November, 1989, the United States backed
ARENA government attacked the San Salvador campus leaving countless
dead and many buildings destroyed. The University was subsequently
occupied by the armed forces until June of this year. Holding
to the process of negotiations, the ARENA government returned the
campus but with the infrastructure totally destroyed. Now the
students, workers, faculty, and administration face the huge task
of rebuilding the University and continuing on the movement toward
education and social change. Their perspective as students and
organizers is infinately valuable and we hope to share their
experiences with CU students in the fall by establishing a Sister
City University between cu and NES.
From August 11 to August 14 _
there will be an Organizing Conference in San Francisco, California
which will be focusing on this situation.
It is our hope to send
two ucsu staff members and our Representative-at-Large to this
conference in order to first gain more knowledge of the Sister City
University and the situation between El Salvador and the United
States, and second to gain organizational skills. This student
Organizing Conference will be extremely beneficial in equipping
the UCSU staff and legislative member with skills that are
desperately needed not only for the Sister University project but
also for all projects which will be worked on in the years to come.
The two UCSU staff members and one council member will attend the
Student Organizing Conference sponsored by CISPES (Community in
Solidarity With The People Of El Salvador) during these four days
of August, 1990 to add organizational skills to UCSU and to
expand international cultural awareness on the CU campus in order
to directly enhance the quality of the University and therefore
benefit the entire community.
BILL SUMMARY
This bill will allocate $750 + GAR for transportation of UCSU
delegates to 1990 CISPES Student Organizing Conference &
Workshop
