Minutes of July 25, 1968, Community Meeting of the Bedford- Stuyvesant Coalition on Educational Needs and Services

On July 25, 1968, the Bedford Stuyvesant Coalition on Educational Needs and Services (B-SCENS) held a community meeting to discuss ongoing negotiations with the City University of New York (CUNY) regarding plans to develop a new college in Central Brooklyn. Albert Vann, chairman of the five-member Negotiation Team appointed by the B-SCENS to represent the Bedford-Stuyvesant community in these discussions with CUNY officials, reports on possibilities and challenges for the new college, including pathways to four-year degrees, rather than exclusively for two-year degrees, as CUNY had originally announced.
