    Smita Ghosh From Camp Krome to the CCA: The Long-Term Effects of the Haitian Program On February 10, 1977, a group of forty-three Haitian asylum seekers wrote a letter from the El Paso immigration detention center.1 The migrants had been detained while fleeing the oppressive regime of Jean Claude (“Baby Doc”) Duvalier. One, named Thelimaque, told his story as an example. He explained that his father once headed a political organization in Haiti that opposed then-president Francois (“Papa Doc”) Duvalier. The Tonton Macoute, a paramilitary force created during the first Duvalier regime, raided one of the organization’s meetings and shot many of its members, forcing Thelimaque and his father into hiding outside of Port-au-Prince. Eventually, when the Tonton Macoute killed his father and kept looking for him, Thelimaque escaped to the United States on his friend’s boat.2 Thelimaque and his compatriots were immediately sent to immigration detention. “When [our boat] got close to the land in Florida,” they wrote “we … stop the boat and call the police because we knew that we was illegal. The Immigration [Service] came and take us to the federal building in Florida, asked us some questions and put us in jail.”3 The letter writers were then transferred to a federal facility in El Paso. When they wrote the letter, they had been detained for fifteen months. In the early 1980s, the government was presented with a rapid and unexpected increase in immigration from Haiti.4 Between 1972 and 1980, 32,367 Haitians arrived in the United States, many in makeshift boats like Thelimaque’s.5 The great majority of these “boat people” arrived 1 Letter from “The Haitian Prisoners in El Paso Camp,” Feb.

DESCRIPTORS *Curriculum Evaluation; *Educational Assessment; *Educational Improvement; Higher Education; Institutional Cooperation; Program Evaluation; State Programs; Statewide Planning; *Womens Studies IDENTIFIERS *State University System of Florida ABSTRACT This document reports on the evaluation of eight women's studies programs in the State University of Florida System. After reviewing the development of women's studies as a discipline, sections of the report cover measures of quality and vigor in women's studies programs, curriculum, women's studies programs as community builders on and off campus, women's studies programs and racial equity, and challenges to women's studies programs. Recommendations made to the State Board of Regents include: (1) a statewide organization for women's studies directors across the eight campuses;(2) an effective mechanism to support better coordination between women's studies offerings in community colleges in the system and the four-year institutions;(3) a process to review whether appropriate structures are in place at each institution to contribute to improving the climate for women students, faculty, administrators, and staff on campus; (4) additional faculty;(5) policy comparisons to avoid inequalities across the system;(6) stipends for faculty development in women's studies; and (7) better mechanisms for counting Full-Time Equivalents (FTES) that will give due credit to women's studies programs.
