UNCC Charged
With Discrimination
By Susan Sutton
UNCC was charged with nine counts
of racial discrimation in the
much-discussed H. E. W. report on the
consolidated university.
The report on UNC civil rights
compliance recommendations were made
to five of the six universities.
There were thirteen recommendations.
One recommendation was made to the
university as a whole to give H. E. W.
officials increased availability of
university records.
Nine of the recommendations listed
Charlotte, giving UNCC the dubious
title as greatest UNC offender, according
to H.E.W. Greensboro followed with
eight; Chapel Hill, seven; Raleigh and
Wilmington with six each; Asheville was
not mentioned, and the Fort Bragg
extension center was listed in three areas.
The charges against UNCC ranged
from poor publicity of equal oppprtunity
policy, to failure to arrange adequate
financial aids.
H.E.W. had recommended that
Charlotte and the university publicize
their policy of equal opportunity via
bulletins, etc. Charlotte, it was
specifically suggested, should advertise in
publications widely read by minority
group members.
The first point has been put into
practice however in Friday's words "the
university does not now advertise for or
recruit students or otherwise
communicate with prospective applicants
through unoffical organs (of the
university).'' He did suggest that student
newspapers include the university's equal
opportunity policy.
The university was asked to step up
recruiting programs with special emphasis
on predominately Negro high schools for
students, athletes, through the use of
Negro recruiters. Charlotte is one of the
two branches which has a Negro admissions
officer doing extensive recruiting at
Negro schools. Negro athletes at UNCC
make up half of the returning basketball
squad and one third of the athletes who
have signed grants-in-aid here.
Friday stated that serious efforts are
being triade to recruit a Negro faculty in
the belief that an integrated faculty "will
enrich the experience of our (the
university) enterprise." He further said
that Negro faculty members make UNC
more attractive to Black students.
It was recommended that a faculty
consortium between university branches
and predominately Negro schools be
begun as well as inter-collegiate athletic
contests with Negro schools be started.
UNC must also back its equal
opportunity policy for students not only
on campus but in student related
community relations area such as
employment and off campus housing.
A prospective employer who wishes to
recruit workers on a campus of the
university must sign a statement stating
his non-discriminating policy. The
university should also see that landlords
of rooming houses and apartments
observe their commitments to rent
facilities with no discrimination as to
race, color, or national origin before it
approves such facilities for students.
UNCC does not maintain a list of
approved housing.
UNCC has charged with establishing
more scholarships and better tutorial
programs for students who were termed
as "high risk minority-group" student
Charlotte has been trying to establish
such program^ and our Counseling Center
does offer study skills instruction. With
regard to financial aid. Black students
receive 16.5 per cent of all financial aid,
but comprise 1.2 per cent of the student
body, according to Friday's answer.
"The membership policies and
practices of sororities, fraternities and
other student organizations should be
carefully re-examined to assure that, in
fact, such organizations are open to all
students without regard to race, color, or
national origin," is recommendation
number^ ten, as it applies to Charlotte.
Friday's answer states that no
organization is allowed on campus if it is
discriminatory, also that administration
investigates all charges of discrimination.
The recommendations from H.E.W.
include few specific charges. The answer
from the university merely restates its
pledge to comply as soon as possible with
civil rights laws and policies.
