Hunt Sends North Carolina college plan to Washington
Gov. Jim Hunt has sent a state plan to HEW aimed at speeding integration of the UNC system and 57 community college campuses. It seeks a 32 percent rise in minority students at white campuses over five years and more minority hiring, challenging HEW’s proposed 150 percent enrollment increase. Hunt says no campus is segregated and acknowledges gradual elimination of the dual system will take time.
