Committee backs plan to ban house bias at Ohio University
Members of the Committee Against White Racism endorsed part one of a referendum to be sent to Ohio University students on May 13. The measure requires all fulltime students to live in university housing and urges temporary housing for students displaced by landlord discrimination against Black residents. A subcommittee will seek an open city ordinance in Athens and dormitory meetings are planned to address white racism identified as a key cause of unrest per the Kerner report.
