June 1968 Draft Statement for the Bedford-Stuyvesant Coalition on Educational Needs and Services (B-SCENS)
In this June 1968 statement drafted for the Bedford-Stuyvesant Coalition on Educational Needs and Services (B-SCENS), Dr. Dave Berkman, Steering Committee member of the B-SCENS, presents demands for a new public college planned in and for central Brooklyn. Five months before, City University of New York (CUNY) officials had announced the establishment of “Community College 7.” In this document, Berkman lays out forceful arguments for the new college to be a “community-controlled senior college” with four-year degree granting capacities, rather than a “junior” two-year degree granting community college, as CUNY officials had originally proposed.
