September 16, 1969 Resolution of the Board of Higher Education to Disband the Presidential Search and Planning Committee for Community College 7

On September 16, 1969 the Executive Committee of the Board of Higher Education (BHE( issued a formal resolution to dissolve the “Presidential Search and Planning Committee for Community College 7” due to the insistence of the Bedford-Stuyvesant community delegation to the committee that Rhody McCoy be appointed president of the new college. The BHE Executive Committee deemed McCoy “entirely unacceptable” for the job. The Executive Committee further resolved that Chancellor Albert Bowker should “proceed expeditiously to accelerate action on the projected college,” working with a new committee appointed entirely by the BHE.
