NJCU’s softball team had a rough spring and ended their season 0-19.
———————————————————————————
Part of what made this a development year for the team was that they had several freshmen playing, and the pandemic meant they did not really have a fall season to practice, and only three months to prepare for the NJAC.
———————————————————————————
Coach Ashley Martinez said, “Emma Herrick, the first baseman is a sophomore who is competitive and likes to be challenged. Dulce Almonte, the third baseman is just getting her feet wet and will return next year. The catcher and three rotating pitchers have to adjust from playing high school ball, which is a huge leap.”
———————————————————————————
Martinez said next year she hopes to bring in eight to 10 players and wants ———Check out the full article on our website at www.GothicTimes.net or on the College News Source app!

“Ancestral Ties in Art” Excerpt
———————————————————————————
Graf is currently an Artist-in-Residence at Gallery Aferro in Newark, NJ. A piece that she made in the same studio is called, “Between What Was” media – “Cyanotype and Serigraph”. She conveys the following themes into her creative practice: family history, identity as mixed race, spirituality, and ritual. “Art is like breath. It is essential for life. I try to breathe deeply and consciously as I move through the world,” Graf said. Her grandma, auntie, and uncle are a few people who have inspired her projects.
———————————————————————————
Having been in the art industry for the past 20 years, her first art exhibit was at Edward Hopper’s old house in seventh grade. It is now a charming gallery located in Nyack, NY. Graf has learned valuable lessons from———Read more on our website at www.GothicTimes.net or on our app at College News Source!

“Diversity Still a Top Issue at NJCU” Excerpt
———————————————————————————
César Sanchez, a senior Philosophy major, is known for being a student activist and for his solidarity work as a member of the International US-Cuba Normalization Committee in the New York-New Jersey area.
———————————————————————————
Speaking generally on hiring practices in the United States and relating it to NJCU, Sanchez said, “When it comes to the labor force in this country, Blacks and Latinos are dropping slowly or have been slightly stable for a few years now. However, new hires and prospects for new jobs for Blacks and Latinos are scarce in many communities throughout this nation. So, when it comes to hiring Black Afro-Americans and Latinos at NJCU, it is clear there is bias or a systemic racist hiring process not only on campus but nationwide.”
———————————————————————————
Citing the Economic Policy Institute, Sanchez continued, “Unemployment between Blacks and White hiring gap widens where Latinos are not far behind getting left out with no jobs as well. In other words, whites still have more opportunities and a better of getting hired than Blacks and Latinos. So, Blacks and Latinos Faculties are not going to reflect that of students because of the ongoing racist and bias hiring process. I believe that we are currently living in a Caste system and what NJCU needs to do first is recognize that when it comes to employment by race and ethnicity, we have a major problem.”
———————————————————————————
Acebo, the chief of staff to the president, explained the university’s hiring goals. He said, “The University recognizes that an ultimate objective of an authentic and sustainable commitment to diversity and inclusion is to work towards———Read more on our website at www.GothicTimes.net or on our app at College News Source!

It has been almost a year since the Black Alumni, Administrator, Faculty, Student, and Staff Organization (BAAFSSO) released a letter with 10 demands for the university. The school has been working towards addressing them.
———————————————————————————
The university is in the process of hiring a Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, and the University Senate continues to show its support towards BAAFSSO.
———————————————————————————
Aaron Aska, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer and presidential liaison for BAAFSSO, said, “The administration provided responses to BAAFSSO’s 10 demands, and I believe the executive team at BAAFSSO are currently reviewing those responses.”
———————————————————————————
In an update from Venida Rodman Jenkins, the President of BAAFSSO and Director of the Speicher-Rubin Women’s Center for Equity and Diversity, she said, “BAAFSSO received an informal draft statement that did not address all of the outstanding concerns. We are attempting to work with Dr. Aaron Aska, the Presidential Liaison, to better understand what is open, what is closed, and what is in progress.”
———————————————————————————
In a statement provided by the Student Government Association (SGA) in November 2020, they said that their president, Ricky Cruz, has spoken with the university president, Sue Henderson, about the lack of diversity within faculty, dating back to June 2019.
———————————————————————————
SGA said, “Since then, we have challenged the president to investigate the staff and administration in the sense of diversity. At the time, President Henderson responded with———Read more on our website at www.GothicTimes.net or on our app at College News Source!
