University of Virginia Library

Unanimous Adoption

The first of these, adopted
unanimously, is a general endorsement
of the coalition's proposals,
and reads:

"We the following members of
the faculty of the University of
Virginia support in principle the
goals of the Student Coalition and
the Student Council to achieve
desegregation at the University. We
urge students, faculty and administration
to establish and continue
constructive communication in order
to explore the goals and
implement their means."

The second resolution adopted
with only 2 dissenting votes, is a
more specific proposal directed at
the University administration and
calling upon it to "act as a
guarantor for the transition program
which was proposed by the ad
hoc faculty committee on educational
opportunity, approved by
the appropriate committee of the
faculty of the College of Arts and
Sciences and by the administration,
and which was submitted to foundations.
We also urge the administration
to encourage and coordinate
student groups and faculty efforts
to raise funds for the program."
