Black Recruiters

Last year after much discussion
between the Council and the
Admissions office, funds were
allocated and the search for a black
recruiter began. As of yet, no
recruiter has been found to fill the
void in the office. Pressure has also
been leveled by the council to
increase the number of black
faculty members. So far, only one
faculty member has been recruited.

Athletic recruitment is another
area of concern since there are still
no black athletes at the University.
To combat this evident lack of
action, the Council plans,
"discussion as to whether
comprehensive fees should be
withheld to persuade the athletic
department to recruit black athletes
more vigorously," according to Mr.
Williams.
