- Description:
- This seven-page document consists of the text of a February 25, 1973, decision by the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) Student Government Association's (SGA)Committee on Classification of Organizations as to whether the Neo-Black Society qualified for recognition and funding under the SGA By-laws. The committee ruled that the Neo-Black Society's activities fell within the parameters set by SGA, and that complaints about its ties to a national organization and its membership rules did not violate SGA By-laws. Two copies of the decision, one original and one photocopy with notes are included, as is an accompanying memorandum from James H. Allen, Dean of Students at UNCG to Chancellor James Sharbrough Ferguson. The committee's decision was overruled by the Student Legislature resulting in administrative intervention and an eventual legal case leading to the Neo-Black Society's reinstatement as a recognized and funded organization.
