Investigators found Turner dismissal testimony vague and conflicting but upheld charges against former Pitt faculty members W. Lee Chalmers and Calston E. Warne. They also confirmed complaints that Negroes were barred from Pitt's medical school and rejected the university’s claim that admission limits stopped Black students. Recommending tenure adoption, they urged board of trustees reforms and denounced the current self perpetuating system as not serving the university’s best interests.
