Join us Fri., Nov. 20 in the PUB 9201 from 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. for this presentation by Professor Elena Esquibel.
This presentation discusses the hidden history of sundown towns or “all-White” communities that have historically banned African Americans after dark. Specifically, looking at southern Illinois as a case study, the author discusses oral history narratives from community residents and directing a community performance.
A page is about to turn for the Shoreline Community College bookstore.
Earlier this year, Shoreline signed an agreement with University Book Store to handle textbook services for the college. The move allows the college to accommodate the buying habits of students and maintain an on-campus bookstore. The on-campus store will continue to provide the unique and specific items Shoreline students need, while students will gain the expertise and service of University Book Store.
For Winter Quarter 2016, students can have their textbook orders filled by University Book Store. Students will be able to either purchase books online at www.shoreline.edu/bookstore, going to www.bookstore.washington.edu or shopping at the main University Book Store location in Seattle’s U District. The services will be available in early December.
Students may choose to have orders delivered at home, to any of the seven University Book Store locations or to Shoreline’s bookstore for a limited time at the beginning of each quarter. Free next-day delivery to the Shoreline bookstore will be available for purchases made before 4 p.m. the day prior. Shoreline will have its own branded presence at University Book Store, both online and in the retail store located in Seattle’s U District.
Shoreline staff will be available at the campus bookstore in the PUB (9000 Building) to answer questions and help order textbooks. University Book Store ordering kiosks will also be available at the Shoreline bookstore.
The agreement won’t impact the number of employees at the Shoreline bookstore. Shoreline will still stock custom printed materials ordered by faculty, plus all the specific supplies that are required for classes and programs.
The trend toward online textbook sales, escalating prices and evolving methods of course material delivery all influenced Shoreline’s decision. College officials said textbook sales have declined in recent years as more students went to online sources. In response, Shoreline’s bookstore began stocking a number of other items such as snack foods and expanded offerings of general, gift and logo merchandise.
The shift in buying habits is impacting many colleges. The Seattle College District, Edmonds Community College and Everett Community College are leasing the operation of their bookstores to Barnes & Noble. Other educational institutions utilizing University Book Store services include all five of the UW campuses, Cascadia College, Digipen Institute of Technology, Cornish College of the Arts and City University as well as 13 private high schools in the Seattle area.
University Book Store started in 1900 as a student-run business at the University of Washington and is now a corporate trust governed by an eleven-member board of trustees consisting of UW students, faculty and staff.
Shoreline’s arrangement with University Book Store will give Shoreline students access to:

Shoreline Community College now has a formal policy prohibiting carrying weapons on campus that applies to everyone except commissioned police officers.
Creating the policy involved extensive input and discussion on campus starting more than a year ago through the College Council, the shared governance forum involving faculty, staff, students and administrators. Once drafted and recommended by the Council, it was reviewed by the state Attorney General’s office, which serves as legal counsel for the college. The policy was recommended by College Council on Oct. 20, 2015, it was presented to the Board of Trustees on Oct. 28 and it was approved by President Roberts on Oct. 30.
The policy says the college “strives to maintain a safe and productive learning and working environment for students, employees, and community members.” Weapons are described as, but not limited to:
The policy states: “Possession, carrying, or display of any weapon by any person, except a commissioned law enforcement officer, is prohibited on College property, in academic buildings, administrative office buildings, recreational facilities, dining facilities, child care facilities, or at any athletic, entertainment, or educational event.”
People who may have a valid concealed weapons permit are not exempt. In these cases, those with such permits and carrying a weapon “may secure such weapon inside their vehicle … provided the vehicle is locked and the weapon is concealed from view.”
Personal protection spray devices as defined by state law are permitted on campus.
Procedures which have also been approved and adopted outline steps to be taken if a weapon is on campus. Reports of weapons should be made to Safety and Security on campus at 206-546-4499 or the 24-hour Safety and Security emergency line at 206-235-5860.
The procedures say that when a weapon is displayed on campus under any circumstance by an individual other than a commissioned law enforcement officer, local police shall be notified immediately by calling 9-1-1 and reporting the incident. After a report to 9-1-1 is completed, Safety and Security staff shall also be notified of the incident for any necessary investigation and action.

Shoreline Community College now has a Community Standard Statement, a strong affirmation that the campus is a place where all people can come to learn and work in a supportive environment.
“It is our core value that everyone who comes to this campus feels respected and supported,” President Cheryl Roberts said. “This happens when we are open to learning and willing to walk with others on their journey.”
The Community Standard Statement effort began a year ago following incidents of hate and intolerance demonstrated through defacement of posters for the Project Pride and the Muslim Student Association, two student body association-sponsored clubs. The incidents brought immediate responses from President Roberts, who called together employees and students to discuss potential courses of action. Out of those discussions, a committee was formed to create and implement a community standard regarding intolerance.
“The committee included voices from across campus and reflected thoughtful and diligent work and commitment,” Roberts said. “This was an iterative process in shaping the statement that involved the college community through forums, department and division meetings and an online survey.”
When the committee was formed, Roberts asked members to work in four areas:
“We have completed a legacy piece of work that will be the touchstone for creating the learning and working environment that supports our deeply held values of excellence in education, equity, inclusiveness and self-reflection,” Roberts said. “I am grateful for the committee’s willingness to craft each piece of this work together.”
Now, communications and materials that put the Community Standard Statement front and center will be created and distributed across campus. The statement is also an important element of the college’s campaign for the federal Title IX that will launch in late December.
“I am confident we have put together the key pieces necessary to create the environment we all aspire to as a college community,” Roberts said. “This will be a conversation we continue with new students, employees, and visitors as they enter the college, as well as inspire us to put these words into action in the work we do each day.”
Community Standard Statement
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly…” Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Shoreline Community College is a place for students, employees, and the community to pursue excellence in education in an environment dedicated to equity, inclusiveness, and self-reflection. We value respectful, dynamic interactions and lively discussion. We strive to create an environment where everyone is supported and valued. Shoreline Community College does not tolerate hateful, violent, or discriminatory actions that target any person or group based on their beliefs, customs, identity, or affiliations. When one of us is diminished, all of us are diminished.
