"The President and faculty 'velcome an opportunity to
provide any information they can that identifies and describes the decision-ma king organs of the college on every level, and will do so Hithin a matter of days after the resumption of normal college activity." SASS representatives accept t his, with
the specification that the report be complete, that it be written, and that the complete report be issue d to the en tire community.
II. AmnesJ:Y: Faculty Action: ( i ~ - \"3, '0",,-':) The College does not contemplate disc iplinary action for the SASS actions that are presently knmm to it. \"Jhile it does not anticipa te cause for disciplinary
action, it cannot guarantee amnesty for matter s on which it has no infor ma tion. Amplificatiotl: With reference to resolution 7, concerning amnesty: By "presently known to it" the faculty refers to its knoHl edge of SASS' o~derly occupation of the Admissions Office, and of th e shutting off of windows and ex its. The facult y is encouraged
by
th ~l
verbal assurance s und e rt a ken by r e pres e ntatives of SASS upon their first
en t ering the admissions office - to wit, that property would not be harmed, files would no t be rifl e d, and pe ople not det a ine d a ga inst the ir will. are no other grou nds for offense, SASS has no cause for concern. As suming ther e
�2. SASS Response "We interpret the faculty's amplified statement of amnest y as an acceptance of our original demand for amnesty." (SASS Jan. l3e,!e). Amplification: We were assured that SASS accepts the faculty's amplified statement as sufficient.
LLI. Black Admissions Officer:
Faculty Action:
i" ,
On January 11 (morning) resolved to recommend the prompt establishment of AHBAc, one of the responsibilities of which is to be: " (1) to seek out" and recommend the -appointment at the earliest possible date of an admissions officer who shall be Black." SASS Position: "That there be hired an Assistant Dean of Admissions who shall be Black, and who shall have the other administrative duties commensurate with that post, by September 1, 1969.
His primary responsibilities shall be in the area of Black admiss{ons. The - Black Assistant Dean of Admissions shall be responsible for the application of Black Admission s Policy to Black applicants." Amp 1 ification: If this man is competent to teach in the area of Black studies, he may do this in light of the pressirig need ; but it is preferable that he not time position, not a part time position. The Black As sistan t Dean of Admissions shall be the Admissions Officer responsible for accepting or rejecting Black applicants in consultation with the rest of the Admissions staff, just as the present Dean of Admissions accepts or rejects white applicants in consultation with the Admissions staff. IV. Black Dean of Students: Faculty Action: {\\ \''-,,\.
~ach .
Also, this is to be a full
(~ -\
That the College take in®ediate steps to recruit and appoint, subject to revi ew by SASS? a Black counselor available to all Black students for the purpose of providing co n fiden tial advic e and guidance. It is to be und ers tood that this counselor is not to be r es ponsibl e
confid en~ia l,
to the deans for providing them with any
pr ivil eged informa tion.
(This
corresponds exactly to SASS demand d, page 2 of Dec ember 23, 1968 docume nt.)
�3. SASS Position :,. "There shall be hired a Black Dean of Black students \vhe shall serve as coun."
selor for Blac'k students while having other administrative duties commensurate with that post by March 1, 1969; hired by this date, not necessarily on the job by this date. It is understood that this counselor is not to be responsible
r
t
to the other deans for providing them with any confidential, privileged information." Amplification: SASS wishes this dean to be as senior in rank as Dean Barr, if at all possible, so he won't have to bea junior partner among the school's deans. They put
I
f'
this fort h as the ideal goal; but are willing to accept having the best man hired at whatever rank his professional experience justifies. SASS does not
f t
feel this is a change of position, but only a more complete specification of the counselor they seek.
v.
Hiring of two aforementioned administrators: ---paculty action~' The faculty took no specific action in connection with the hiring of a Black dean of students, but did specifically recommend that AHBAC shouad seek out and recommend a Black admissions officer SASS Position: "That the' hiring of the two aforementioned administrators shall be by Presidential appointment. A list of
prospect~ve
(see above, EE.)
candidates
~ill

SASS." (SASS eve Jan. 13). Amplifica tion: SASS specifies that it envisages the followin g proc edure : it will produce a list
�4.
of candidates; the . administration and/or 6thers will produce a list; there shall be personal interviews of alL candidates by SASS and the administration. If there are discrepancies uetween the ·final candidates chosen by the various parties, SASS shall make the final recommendation to the President. VI. Admissions Policy: . Faculty Action: (I c ~<'-"'. ') . The College recognizes that it is necessary to maintain a viable Black student community. Realizing that such a community ultimately depends on the decision
of the students both to enroll and to continue their education at S"18rthmore, the College will strive. to enroll a minimum of 25 Black students in each freshman class. It is hoped that this number can be increased to 35 after a three-year period. That the Cpllege vigorously extend its recruitment of the best Black secondary school graduates and continue to encourage Swarthmore Black students to assist in this process. "That the College should set as its goal the enrollment of a significant number (approximately 10) of Black students whose qualifications are outside norm adal missions criteria for the academic year 1969-70.'1 (~dopted on 10 t h, afternoon; amended on 12, aft.) SASS Position: "That th·e college strive to enroll at least 35 Black students into the freshman classes over the next three years so as to accomoda te the goal of 100 Black students by 1972, and at least 40 Black students after three years so as to meet the goal of 150 Black students by 1975." Amplifiaction: SASS understands tha t these figures represent goals tm- ard the achievement of l whic h the College will ·make a consistent and sustain ed effort. VEE.

year colleges, and

made~'
Action taken by the faculty during the meeting of
January is as follmvs:
"The President and faculty 'velcome an opportunity to
provide any information they can that identifies and describes the decision-ma king organs of the college on every level, and will do so Hithin a matter of days after the resumption of normal college activity." SASS representatives accept t his, with
the specification that the report be complete, that it be written, and that the complete report be issue d to the en tire community.
II. AmnesJ:Y: Faculty Action: ( i ~ - \"3, '0",,-':) The College does not contemplate disc iplinary action for the SASS actions that are presently knmm to it. \"Jhile it does not anticipa te cause for disciplinary
action, it cannot guarantee amnesty for matter s on which it has no infor ma tion.

The facult y is encouraged

�2. SASS Response "We interpret the faculty's amplified statement of amnest y as an acceptance of our original demand for amnesty." (SASS Jan. l3e,!e). Amplification: We were assured that SASS accepts the faculty's amplified statement as sufficient.
LLI. Black Admissions Officer:
Faculty Action:
i" ,
On January 11 (morning) resolved to recommend the prompt establishment of AHBAc, one of the responsibilities of which is to be: " (1) to seek out" and recommend the -appointment at the earliest possible date of an admissions officer who shall be Black." SASS Position: "That there be hired an Assistant Dean of Admissions who shall be Black, and who shall have the other administrative duties commensurate with that post, by September 1, 1969.
His primary responsibilities shall be in the area of Black admiss{ons. The - Black Assistant Dean of Admissions shall be responsible for the application of Black Admission s Policy to Black applicants." Amp 1 ification: If this man is competent to teach in the area of Black studies, he may do this in light of the pressirig need ; but it is preferable that he not time position, not a part time position. The Black As sistan t Dean of Admissions shall be the Admissions Officer responsible for accepting or rejecting Black applicants in consultation with the rest of the Admissions staff, just as the present Dean of Admissions accepts or rejects white applicants in consultation with the Admissions staff.

That the College take in®ediate steps to recruit and appoint, subject to revi ew by SASS? a Black counselor available to all Black students for the purpose of providing co n fiden tial advic e and guidance. It is to be und ers tood that this counselor is not to be r es ponsibl e
confid en~ia l,
to the deans for providing them with any
pr ivil eged informa tion.
(This
corresponds exactly to SASS demand d, page 2 of Dec ember 23, 1968 docume nt.)
�3. SASS Position :,. "There shall be hired a Black Dean of Black students \vhe shall serve as coun."
selor for Blac'k students while having other administrative duties commensurate with that post by March 1, 1969; hired by this date, not necessarily on the job by this date. It is understood that this counselor is not to be responsible
r
t
to the other deans for providing them with any confidential, privileged information." Amplification: SASS wishes this dean to be as senior in rank as Dean Barr, if at all possible, so he won't have to bea junior partner among the school's deans. They put
I
f'
this fort h as the ideal goal; but are willing to accept having the best man hired at whatever rank his professional experience justifies. SASS does not
f t
feel this is a change of position, but only a more complete specification of the counselor they seek.

Hiring of two aforementioned administrators: ---paculty action~' The faculty took no specific action in connection with the hiring of a Black dean of students, but did specifically recommend that AHBAC shouad seek out and recommend a Black admissions officer SASS Position: "That the' hiring of the two aforementioned administrators shall be by Presidential appointment.

of candidates; the . administration and/or 6thers will produce a list; there shall be personal interviews of alL candidates by SASS and the administration. If there are discrepancies uetween the ·final candidates chosen by the various parties, SASS shall make the final recommendation to the President. VI. Admissions Policy: . Faculty Action: (I c ~<'-"'. ') . The College recognizes that it is necessary to maintain a viable Black student community. Realizing that such a community ultimately depends on the decision
of the students both to enroll and to continue their education at S"18rthmore, the College will strive. to enroll a minimum of 25 Black students in each freshman class. It is hoped that this number can be increased to 35 after a three-year period. That the Cpllege vigorously extend its recruitment of the best Black secondary school graduates and continue to encourage Swarthmore Black students to assist in this process. "That the College should set as its goal the enrollment of a significant number (approximately 10) of Black students whose qualifications are outside norm adal missions criteria for the academic year 1969-70.'1 (~dopted on 10 t h, afternoon; amended on 12, aft.) SASS Position: "That th·e college strive to enroll at least 35 Black students into the freshman classes over the next three years so as to accomoda te the goal of 100 Black students by 1972, and at least 40 Black students after three years so as to meet the goal of 150 Black students by 1975."

AHBAC (Ad Hoc Black Admissions Committee) At its meeting on Saturday morning, 11 January 1969, the faculty passed th e following motion: (This is the amended 12 Jan. version). · A) To facilitate the establishment of this committee, the faculty recommends the prompt establishment of an Ad Hoc Black Admissions Comm ittee.

af~.'
The faculty' " uri~d,. . in the form of a resolution, that t he President and the Board secure funds to carry out the recommendations of the faculty, based on
the SASS communication of 23 December and the repo r t of the Admissions Committee; the faculty reco gnizes that fund-raising priorities. SASS Position: SASS Sincerely appreciates the faculty's initiative on this resolution. However,
s~ch
a course requires a reappraisal of budgetary and
SASS recommends that the resolution be amended to insert the words, "and 9 Jan." after the vlOrds 1123 Dec."; and that "Communication" be changed to "communications." By 'levels" SASS understands both areas of op e ration (eg. curriculum, admissions, or cultural) and hierarchical levels (eg. students, faculty and administration).
XIII Presidential Support:
The
12-13 Jan.
President announces his strong support of the actions taken by the fac ulty,
of ,.;hich he is the presiding officer, and will strongly recommend them to the Board of Hanagers. He is confident that the Board share s the s ane values and
concerns that have motivated the Pres ident and the f aculty in their actions.
The undersigned would like to point out that they
rn ve understood their task
to be solely that of relay ing SASS' present position, for the purpose of identifying discrepancies between it and the faculty actions of ?-13 January. We
have avoided all editoralizing, and h ave added amplifications only where we felt they were rigorously indicated by the remarks made by SASS rEPresentatives to us.
