- Description:
- This September 25, 1973, letter from University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) Dean of Students James H. Allen to attorney Michael K. Curtis, states that the revised Neo-Black Society constitution, containing statements that the organization was open to all students, was currently under review by the Student Government Association (SGA) Committee on Classification of Organizations, and that action on the committee's recommendations was expected by October 2, 1973. 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.
