************************************************************** IFCSS Headquarters News Release No. 5074 Nov 11, 1993 ************************************************************** Independent Federation of Chinese Students and Scholars (IFCSS) 733 15th Street, N.W., Suite 440, Washington, D.C.20005 Tel. (202)347-0017 Fax: (202)347-0018 Email: ifcss@wam.umd.edu IFCSS Anti-Discrimination Watch =============================== The IFCSS HQ has paid particular attention to cases that Chinese students and scholars are victimized by discrimination. The converting chart at the Ball State University is one example in point. Many of our members rallied behind Ms Hu Liqun to have the chart corrected to measure up with the professional standard of the university community in this country. The Ministry of Education has accepted the appeal, and is currently investigating the matter. It is necessary to keep Virgil over possible discrimination against CSS, and to fight for our rights and against injustice. Therefore the HQ is organizing Anti-Discrimination Watch, an IFCSS sub-committee, to be devoted to defending our rights and fighting against discrimination. The HQ has appointed Ms Zhong Ling to coordinate among the CSS community to such effect. The HQ is also pleased to have Cai Rongwei, attorney at law with Tonkon, Torp, Galen, Marmaduke & Booth, to be the committee's legal council. The HQ is willing to provide initial help and assist the committee to establish links to other civil rights groups throughout America. But the Anti-Discrimination Watch's success will depends entirely upon our members' input. Therefore we strongly encourage you to participate. For more information and volunteer work, please contact Ms Zhong Ling at (313)832-4306 and send Email to lzho@nova.eng.wayne.edu Thank you very much. ********************************************************************* * IFCSS Headquarters Office * *-------------------------------------------------------------------* * President: Lin Changsheng Vice President: Shi Heping * * Exec.
