Federal Gov't. Rejects
Plan For Desegregation
WASHINGTON (AP) - The
federal government Monday
rejected North Carolina's plan
for desegregating its state
univesity system, but allowed
the state 30 days for further
negotiations before the
government begins
withholding an estimated $89
million in funds from the
16-campus system.
Lewis C. Dowdy, chancellor
of A&T stated that, "During
the past severl months, we
have spent so much time- on
the HEW question that it is
regrettable that a settlement
could not have been reached
by both parties so that we could
spend our time on the central
objective, and that is the
education of all our students."
"In recent years, A&T has
made much progress in having
its programs serve all races
and colors," Dowdy said.
"It is hoped that today's
action will not result in any
cut-off of funds from our
programs. It is also my hope
that a settlement can be reached
soon," he remarked.
Health, Education and
Welfare Secretary Joseph A.
Califano, Jr. said he made the
decision to reject the plan "as
a last resort," and still hopes
some agreement can be
reached through negotiation.
Califano told a news
conference    he    believes
"negotiated settlements are
far preferable to lengthy and
costly litigation and that the
best interests of the state, and
more    importantly, the
students in the state system,
are served by such
agreements."
But he said the department
"has met the University of
North Carolina more than
halfway in an effort to resolve
this matter without
litigation."
If negotiations fail, North
Carolina could become the
first state in the nation to lose
federal funds for higher
education under the 1964 Civil
Right Act. Recently, HEW
