The Cal Poly Debate Team, Communication Studies Department and World Languages and Cultures Department have announced the second annual Spanish language debate, Legados de Valladolid, will be held May 3-5, at Cal Poly.

Students will present responses to the following statement: Any increase in border security should be tied to an increase in expediency for legal immigration.

The inspiration for this debate is the Junta de Valladolid (1550-1551), the first moral debate held by a colonizing force regarding the legitimacy of colonization. The impact of colonization is widespread and ever-present, and the Legados de Valladolid Debate will provide a forum to examine current political trends, national and international policies, and pervasive ideologies that affect our global political climate.

Business Building (No. 3), Room 111 on the Cal Poly campus in San Luis Obispo.

This event is free and open to the public. No tickets are required.
