Desegregation Order Reshapes Pa State Colleges
The federal civil rights directive reaches Pennsylvania, ordering the 13 state colleges and one university to desegregate within 120 days for an outline and 90 days thereafter for a concrete plan. Cheyney University remains 83 percent black while other campuses are 99 percent white, prompting questions about attracting Black students, faculty and the risk of white backlash. College leaders acknowledge limited progress and curriculum changes aimed at expanding opportunities, but cannot promise immediate results. News in Harrisburg notes the shift from Southern focus to northern enforcement and previews reactions.
