HEW Orders North Carolina Race Desegregation Measures
The U S Department of Health Education and Welfare requires North Carolina to file five year plans to boost black enrollment in its universities and community colleges. The plan targets an extra 240 black students annually for five years totaling 1250, with HEW stressing goals not quotas and urging innovative recruiting while approving programs ahead of time. William Friday notes possible resistance to preapproval for projects, while funds for desegregation remain pending.
