"The director of the special programs should be a minority group member; the establishment of a summer remedial course as well as a course during the year that deals with problems of reaching comprehension and writing skills could be constructed as an alternative to the language requirement; a faculty exchange should be instituted. It could take the form of an exchange of faculty for a semester or a series of guest lectures who would speak on various fields of interest; Department chairmen should be encouraged to initiate programs and to revise present courses so that contributions that have been made by black people are included. This may involve ordering additional material for the library; in the college's search for black faculty members, these individuals should be chosen for their academic qualifications as well as their ability to relate to the black students; The college should admit more blacks students so that within ten years 10 percent of the entering class will be black students; In order to facilitate recruitment for black students and to increase 'black awareness among the students, the BSMU should be given a room or an office as an organizational base.'"
