The six student members--three elected by potential AAS concentrators and three from Afro--have full voting rights on the committee, a provision which caused the major Faculty opposition to the Afro proposal.
The Standing Committee on Afro-American Studies (AAS) met Wednesday morning for the first time since its seven-Faculty membership was expanded last month to include six students.
The search for AAS faculty has been going on since last February when Dean Ford appointed a Search Committee chaired by Talcott Parsons, professor of Sociology, and including Zeph Stewart, Master of Lowell House, Daniel M. Fox, assistant professor of History, and three students.
The Standing Committee's other two major concerns Musgrave said, will be the development of an Afro-American Research Institute and "some thinking" about tentative course offerings in AAS for next year's concentrators.
The committee's chairman--Richard A. Musgrave, professor of Economics--said that the expanded committee will meet this morning at 10:15. The committee suspended its meetings in early April during a controversy over proposed AAS concentration plans, and has not met since the Faculty's April 22 vote.
