University of Virginia Library

Unanimous Endorsement

The Council also unanimously endorsed
another statement stating that "the
administration of Edgar F. Shannon has sought
to diversify and thereby evade responsibility for
an issue which causes a deterioration in the
quality of student life."

It continues saying that the "Council of the
University, realizing the importance of the
expansion issue, now publicly registers its
profound dissatisfaction and disapproval of
these measures."

Phil Chabot, chairman of the Council
Committee on Expansion, said that "until last
Wednesday we were under the assumption that
the committee on the Future of the University
would look into the whole question of growth.
We worked all summer on that assumption."
