UNC Faces Court Fight Over Veterinary School Location
The University of North Carolina defends itself against HEW Civil Rights Office claims of 40 violations tied to desegregation plans and the decision to locate a veterinary school at North Carolina State University in Raleigh rather than at A&T State University in Greensboro. The dispute centers on alleged inequities and what HEW calls an affirmative action program. The university argues it has advanced desegregation without denying admission on race and notes a Carnegie Council critique of such programs. Gov Holifhouser urged negotiation to avoid funding loss while UNC prepares to court defend its stance.
