During their visit the team reviewed a preliminary draft of a proposed salary plan for JSI and have asked to review the final plan, which was for mally adopted by the Board of Trustees July 19. The findings did indicate, however, that the institution would be required to more actively recruit qualified black applicants for faculty openings and to review the method by which students receiving financial aid under a work-study program are assigned to various jobs, with emphasis on increasing the number of white stu dents assigned to work in the area of institutional main tenance. Dr. Price stated that the office for Civil Rights has designated a 45-day negotiation period during which-the school will have to develop a plan for more actively recruiting qualified black applicants and review ing tudent work-study assign tents.
