The UC Center for New Racial Studies A group of University of California faculty located at eight different campuses has received a significant grant from the UC system to launch the University of California Center for New Racial Studies (UCCNRS), a Multi-Campus Research Program. The UCCNRS will make its official debut in July 2010 and has been assured of UC system-wide support for five subsequent academic years (until June 2015). Our Steering Committee includes scholars from across the entire system, colleagues working in the social sciences and humanities, area studies, public policy, and legal studies. We hope to establish active linkages on every UC campus, and to offer a wide range of support as well as very broad collaborative and networking capabilities.
