- Description:
- The three-page document consists of a consent order in the UNCG Neo-Black Society case, and an accompanying letter from Assistant Attorney General Edwin M. Speas, Jr. to University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) Chancellor James Sharbrough Ferguson, dated November 28, 1973. The consent order states that the Neo-Black Society must remain open to all students regardless of race, as long as it is funded by the university. On March 26, 1973, University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) Student Government Association (SGA) had voted to reclassify (removed funding and recognition from) the Neo-Black Society. The SGA decision was overturned by university administration on the basis of faulty evidence and improper procedure by SGA, resulting in an eventual legal case that led to the Neo-Black Society's reinstatement as a recognized and funded organization.
