Virginia governor proposes merging Bland and state agriculture schools
Gov. Linwood Holton submitted a desegregation plan to HEW officials outlining a three year timetable to merge Richard Bland College with the Virginia State and Bland system. The plan seeks to convert Bland to a two year community college and later merge with the agriculture schools with a funding and student exchange program. It calls for legislation in 1971 to consolidate Bland and Virginia State while expanding equal opportunity practices across Norfolk State and Old Dominion University.
