Presidential Search Committee of Community College 7: Minutes July 9, 1968,
On July 9, 1968, the Presidential Search Committee for “Community College 7,” composed of five City University of New York officials and five appointed representatives of Bedford-Stuyvesant’s community-based organizations, met to discuss plans for the new college. In this meeting, CUNY officials briefed the Bedford-Stuyvesant committee members in detail on pathways and obstacles for the college to open as a four-year degree granting “senior” college, as demanded by the Central Brooklyn community. The Committee also explored possibilities for the Bedford-Stuyvesant community organizations to receive funds to support their research and planning activities in support of the new college, an issue that would prove contentious in the coming weeks with the Ford Foundation’s involvement in funding the project.
