- Description:
- This two-page document consists of a notice of appeal and an accompanying letter from UNCG Student Government Association (SGA) Vice President Cheryl Sosnik and former vice president Jacqueline Coleman to UNCG Chancellor James Sharbrough Ferguson, dated May 3, 1973. The appeal contends that the Neo-Black Society is a discriminatory organization, that the chancellor overstepped his authority, that correct procedures were followed, and that the Student Senate was deprived of due process. 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.
