The Power & Pain of Multicultural Politics on Campus
When votes came in a few weeks ago for new student senators at California State University Northridge (CSUN), most of the winners were students of color. While that shouldn’t seem unusual for a multi-ethnic campus where minorities constitute 62 percent of the 27,000 students, it was a noteworthy departure from past elections.

The scene reveals nothing to suggest this is an institution struggling to recover from a multimillion-dollar fiscal deficit.
