"This resolution does not support Malcolm X, but allows others to view his ideals' said Dion Contreras. Henry Rudolph and Cheryl Arnett also sponsored the resolution. Social Science Senator Robert Nelson objected to the resolution because he felt history viewed Malcolm X as a violent man and his views on separation of races was unacceptable to civil rights organizations. "When we deal with civil rights, Malcolm X was on the wrong track. He wasn't even accepted by his own -people." Scott Robinson, non-traditional student senator Scott Robinson, non-traditional senator, agreed with Nelson. "When we deal with civil rights, Malcolm X was on the wrong track.

"What an honor. I still feel like I'm on cloud nine," said Haanstad, a professor of political science and philosophy. Haanstad has been teaching at Weber State for four years and takes her job very seriously. She hopes her classes are challenging enough, but still a place where students can learn and participate. "I hope that the students and those who nominated and chose me for this award perceive me as a dedicated and yet challenging teacher, but also as one who supports the student in the classroom. I also hope that those who selected me did so because they perceive me as having a high value for teaching," she said. She received her bachelor's degree in history and political science with an international relations emphasis from Augustana CollegeinSiouxFalls,SD. Haanstad finished her education at the University of Utah where she received her master's and doctoral degrees in political science with an emphasis in international relations.
