Memorandum of Understanding from Al Vann
In this memorandum of understanding between the Bedford-Stuyvesant Coalition and a committee from the Board of Higher Education (likely the Presidential Search Committee), Al Vann, the chairman of the Coalition's steering committee, acknowledges two major promises made to his group. These include: "the community's final approval rights" in selecting a college president, and the community's majority representation on the Presidential Search Committee. The memo also includes other requests from Vann's organization.
