The California State University system (CSU) has taken a major step to ensure future students can reflect on the effects of systemic discrimination.
The CSU Board of Trustees just approved the new graduation requirement which will require students to take a course in ethnic studies or social justice, beginning in the 2023-24 academic year.
This is the first significant change to CSU general education curriculum in 40 years.
Chancellor Timothy White said in a statement, “Our goal is for CSU students, from every major and in every workplace, to be leaders in creating a more just and equitable society.”
