**The For Chicana/Chicano Studies Foundation Has Supported The Following Individuals**** : **
Dr. Yolanda Broyles-Gonzalez Chicano Studies Professor University of California, Santa Barbara Professor Broyles-Gonzalez sued UCSB for disparate treatment of women in wages and promotions. Another cause of action was UCSB's retaliation against her for her support of Dr. Rodolfo F. Acuña in his suit against the UCSB. Using the same legal team that won the Acuña case, Dr. Broyles-Gonzalez sued. The UC settled the case before it went to trial. ** Dr. Alfredo Arteaga, Assistant Professor of English University of California, Berkeley Dr. Alfredo sued because he was denied tenure. Dr. Arteaga claimed racial and political bias. FOR Chicana/Chicano Studies set up a $10,000 trust fund for Dr. Arteaga, and attorneys represented him before the Privilege and Tenure Committee. U.C. Berkeley muted the case by offering him a tenured position in the Ethnic Studies Department before he could file his suit. ** Dr. Angela Valenzuela Professor of Education Rice University Dr. Valenzuela sued the institution for not granting her tenure. The cause of action was gender bias. Although the Foundation approved $10,000 for litigation purposes, it was not necessary to sue because Rice settled the case before it went to court. ** Dr. Juana Mora, Professor of Chicana/o Studies California State University Northridge Dr. Mora was denied the position of associate dean of the College of Humanities. Dr. Mora's case was very important because of the dearth of Chicana/o and Latina/o administrators in higher education. She was denied the position, although she was clearly the most qualified applicant. During the two searches for the open position, reviewers such as “we already have a Mexican Dean” made comments. A reviewer demeaned her research by stating that Dr. Mora's research on alcoholism was unimportant because all she did was "interview drunken Mexicans." Dr. Mora sued, and just before the case went to trial the CSU settled out of court. **
