It did not end there: From Demands to Improvements
Even after the two-day protest and negotiations were compromised, neither the Colleges nor the students forgot about the issues concerning diversity:
The two day protest revolutionized the student's perspective in the academic and social setting they were living in. This moment in the Claremont Colleges' history paved the way to more opportunities for the students in the 21st century. In the Claremont Colleges, there are strong programs in Chicano/Latino Studies, Hispanic Studies, Africana Studies, Asian American Studies, LGBT and Jewish centers, and other beneficial resources. Just as Armando Navarro had described it, his words ring true: what took place at Claremont, was truly "a kind of renaissance."
- Pitzer, Pomona, and Scripps developed a Task Force that allowed more student involvement in the procedures of hiring faculty.
- Colleges agreed to publish faculty positions in campus newspapers.
- The presidents and faculty from the colleges conducted teach-ins and talks that explored issues of diversity.
