- Description:
- This October 15, 1973, three-page letter from University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) Dean of Students James H. Allen to Richard H. Robinson, Jr., Assistant to the President of the University of North Carolina, includes an update on the current status of the Neo-Black Society, stating that all tensions between that organization and the Student Government Association (SGA) had been resolved. On March 26, 1973, 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. Allen also notes that he had had no response to a series of letters sent to Michael Curtis, the attorney representing SGA.
