Coverage
"Noting that blacks comprise only one percent of Ph.D. candidates in the United States, the Report goes on to urge departments and the College to 'exercise particular energy' to hire black faculty members'"
"A college grant of 4,500 for YOU is the recommendation of the Special Committee. Last year's grant was $2,500."
"Black people have insisted recently that Black culture has been treated as invisible by dominant culture makers of America-- and colleges are included in this judgment... The problem raised by demands for a so-called 'black curriculum' is a fundamental challenge to the academic establishment to examine itself in a more fundamental manner than has been its custom. If curriculum changes are made to accommodate black material without this examination, then they may be little more than fads of the moment. "
