https://blog.uhcl.edu/news/why-are-states-banning-critical-race-theory-uhcl-prof-shares-insights

Is “critical race theory” a different perspective on how racial constructs have shaped public policy in America, or is it a divisive discourse that pits white people against people of color? On both ends of the political spectrum, CRT has invoked deep discord.

There were 3,800 anti-Asian racist incidents, mostly against women, in past year

8 murdered, incl 6 Asian women at Asian-owned day spas. Solidarity and empathy for UHCL'S Asian community 🙏🏽❤✊🏽 requires naming racism, misogyny, xenophobia, ethnic fetishization and violence.#StopAAPIHate #ShowUp

“There is an intersectional dynamic going on that others may perceive both Asians and women and Asian women as easier targets,” one professor said.

HSH Student Leaders and Honors Celebration 2015

Dr. Gene Coleman has rubbed elbows with—and trained many great nonprofessional and professional athletes—including Pitching Legend Rolan Ryan. As Ryan was being inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999, he credited Coleman’s strength and condition techniques for the long-term pitching success he enjoyed until age 46 (http://baseballhall.org/node/11303). Here at UHCL, we’ve recognized Dr. Coleman’s value for nearly four decades. Our hats are off to Dr. Coleman and, we wish him well in his retirement.

Check out Dean Rick Short's Welcome, now posted on the new HSH Administrative page. Thanks to Dr. Short and Brent Goucher!
