The Rainbow Agenda
''The Rainbow Agenda'' was a set of demands put forth by a coalition of student groups at Stanford University in the late 1980s. Inspired by Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition (now Rainbow/PUSH), Stanford's Rainbow Coalition demanded that the university "explore the critical concerns of minority students, faculty, and staff at Stanford University".〔(Stanford University Archives: University Committee on Minority Issues, Records SC0363 )〕
==History==
On January 17, 1987, some 500 Stanford students marched with Jesse Jackson to celebrate a new course at Stanford to replace its previous "Western Culture" requirement.〔(New York Times: In Dispute on Bias, Stanford Is Likely To Alter Western Culture Program )〕 In 1988, the Faculty Senate voted to change the course to "Cultures, Ideas, and Values" (CIV).〔(Illiberal Education: The Politics of Race and Sex on Campus )〕
In response to backlash, a "Rainbow Coalition" was formed, a coalition of student groups which made a number of demands of the university (the Rainbow Agenda).〔(The Stanford Reorientation Guide 2009-2010 )〕 These student groups included the Black Student Union, MEChA, the Asian American Student Association, and the Stanford American Indian Organization. The demands included requests concerning student and faculty diversity, support for community centers, and a "renewed commitment to discourage Indian mascot fanatics." 〔(Students of Color Coalition: A History of Social Progress and Achievement )〕
In 15 May 1989, students from the Rainbow Coalition also occupied of President Donald Kennedy's office, to "emphasize the need for an Asian American Studies tenure-track professor; a full-time dean for El Centro Chicano, the Chicano student center; and a discrimination review board to act on complaints of racial slurs and incidents. Fifty-five students... were arrested."〔(The Asian American Movement )〕
