Brandeis Students Seize Ford Hall Over Negro Affairs
At Brandeis University in Waltham Massachusetts dissident Negro students blocked Ford Hall and the campus switchboard in a nonviolent bid for autonomy over Negro affairs. President Morris B Abram condemned the action while faculty voted to denounce the takeover and called on about 70 students to leave. The demonstrators cited 10 nonnegotiable demands including an independent Afro-American department budget and black director headed recruitment, hiring of black professors, and an Afro-American center. Abram met the students briefly but said negotiation would not occur under present conditions. The university, with 110 Black students among 2,600, has been increasing Afro-American programs and scholarships.
