Hispanics and the New Information Technology. Proceedings of a Tomas Rivera Center Policy Issues Seminar (Washington, D.C., March 28, 1988).
Ingle, Henry T.
This report summarizes the proceedings of a seminar which was organized to promote discussion on ways to influence the long-term direction and benefits that new technological developments in the media of communication and information exchange might have on the educational, employment, and general socioeconomic needs of a growing Hispanic population whose development is important to the future of the United States. The three policy issues that were presented and discussed at the seminar are outlined: (1) equity and access concerns associated with the use of new information technology; (2) opportunities for linking the use of these new technologies across work, school, and home settings; and (3) possible roles for public-private sector cooperation. Following a summary of the discussions of these three policy issues, major recommendations for action by government policymakers, business and industry representatives, philanthropic and funding agencies, and scholars and researchers are presented. Other policy observations and perspectives, conclusions, and suggestions for possible activities in the future complete the proceedings document. A list of seminar participants and the questions used to guide and orient group discussions of the three policy issues are appended. (CGD)
