fSu 1877 -- NEARING A CENTURY OF SERVICE --1977 SUMMER ^OICE VOLUME 30 NUMBER 8 FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. MAY, 1976 CLASS SCHEDULES FOR SECOND SESSION OF SVmmER SCHOOL IIV THIS ISSUE!!! State Report On Discrimination FSU GETS In University System YOUTH GRANT According to a recent news release by the Associated Press, the Board of Governors Friday adopted a report saying there is no discrimination in state aid to black and white colleges. The long-awaited study saw no need for massive state programs to improve the black schools. It said there were qualitative deficiencies at the black campuses, but blamed them on the caliber of the students and faculty there. The study included Fayetteville State University. The study recommended spending an unspecified amount of state money to equalize faculty salaries at some black and white in stitutions where they lag behind state standards. It also recommended a program aimed primarily at the black schools which would provide paid leaves of absence for teachers seeking their doctorate degrees. The board approved the report over the objections of a coalition of black college alumni and one of its black members, Julius L. Chambers of Charlotte. They said the study was inadequate because it collected detailed data only for the years from l%9-76. Chambers said the system was ignoring its duty to find out if the black schools suf fered discrimination still hampered them. “I don’t have the statistics, but I don’t think anyone can convince me that the black schools got an equal dollar,” Chambers said. He maintained that past discrimination might take •T.K extra money to overcome. Board chairman William Dees responded, in a letter to the alumni group, “We are not required to examine the record of financial support since the beginning of these institutions. To do so would serve no useful educational purpose.” Another black member, Joseph Sansom, proposed amending the report to say that discrimination in the past had contributed to the problems of the black schools in the present. The board rejected his motion. Chambers and the alumni group also objected to the way the report refused to compare the black schools to the wealthiest of the white in stitutions; UNC-Chapel Hill, N.C. State, and UNC- Greensboro. University president William Friday said such a comparison would be irrevelant since those three school are “research universitites,” granting the Ph.D. degree. He said the black schools fit into two other categories: “Comprehensive univer sities,” offering masters’ degrees; and “baccalaureate universities” offering bachelor’s degrees. Predominantly black North Carolina Central and North Carolina A & T belong in the comprehensive category with East Carolina, Western Carolina, UNC- Charlotte and Appalachian State, Friday said. The third category in cludes predominantly black Fayetteville State, Elizabeth City State and Winston-Salem State, along with Pembroke State, UNC-Asheville and UNC-Wilmington. Within each category the black schools are equal or slightly better off in objective measures of state aid such as per capita funding, library books, and student faculty ratios. N.C. Central and Ap palachian State, for example, $1,995 and $2,002 per student in 1974 from the combination of state aid and student tuition. But the report carefully omitted the comparable figure for UNC-Chapel Hill was $4,054. UNC vice president John Sanders said such a com- pairson would be “defective” because the funding figures at UNC-Chapel Hill reflect the cost of expensive graduate and research programs that the comprehensive univer sities do not offer. But the black alumni saw things differently. They said that historically. Central was the black alternative to Chapel Hill and A & T was the black alternative to N.C. State. “A & T and N.C. Central both served a statewide mission much as UNC-Chapel Hill and N.C. State. They should be compared,” they said. Chambers pointed out that even today, a school like A & T offers some engineering and technical programs similar to N.C. State’s. Dees reponded that “These assignments of in stitutional mission were based on the doctrine of separate but equal which was declared unconstitutional 22 years ago.
