CSUSB Libraries Present Black Woman on Board: Claudia Hampton, the California State University and the Fight to Save Affirmative Action March 11, 2025 | 1:30-2:30 P.M. | PL-4005 In this presentation, Dr. Donna Nicol, Associate Dean for Personnel and Curriculum and Professor of History in the College of Liberal Arts at Cal State Long Beach, will discuss her most recent book, Black Woman on Board: Claudia Hampton, the California State University and the Fight to Save Affirmative Action, which tells the extraordinary story of Dr. Claudia H. Hampton—the California State University (CSU) system's first Black woman trustee, who later became the board's first woman chair—and her twenty-year fight (1974–94) to increase access within the CSU for historically marginalized and underrepresented groups. Dr. Francisca Afua Opoku-Boateng, Assistant Professor in Cybersecurity at CSUSB, will serve as interlocutor for the discussion. The program, which is free and open to the public, is sponsored by the Faculty Center for Excellence, the Office of Black Student Success, and the Black Faculty, Staff, and Student Association.
