Statement of Policy by the Board of Higher Education
This "statement of policy", attached to the minutes from a meeting of the Board of Higher Education on July 9, 1969, reflects the culmination of negotiations between college officials and protesting City College students. The students, most of whom were black and Puerto Rican, had previously enumerated a list of five demands pertaining to campus diversity and representation. The Board's statement offers a response and plan of action intended to address each demand. Most notably, it announces college officials' intention to expedite plans for Open Admissions. It would begin in fall 1970, instead of the previously announced start date of 1975.
