Other steps should be taken to provide greater flexibility in the programs of students once they have entered on a field of concentration. Black students feel that their proposals for tutorial work, or for independent study, are too often discouraged by the present Departments and degree-awarding Committees. Social Relations was singled out by students as being generally quite receptive to such proposals, but even this field, broad and tolerant as it is, has on occasion proven unable to encompass and serve what black students consider their legitimate intellectual needs...
...students wish to withdraw from the general cultural life of Harvard, or its Houses. They strongly urge, however, that the various elements of the University, and most especially the Houses, make greater efforts to bring more black artists and art, black visiting speakers and writers, to the College--for the benefit not only of black students but of the larger community. We strongly recommend that Masters, House Committees, and other bodies, make a greater effort to secure such visits, in co-operation with the black students, who have expressed an eagerness to assist the House Masters and others in securing...
...many functions of a student center would be that of providing opportunities for greater contact between black undergraduates and black graduate students. Without question one of the major problems for the black undergraduate is the lack of older blacks available as advisors. There is a special need felt for more black advisors available to black students in their freshman year, but the availability of such advisors is by no means a total solution...
...Committee's recommendation for recruitment of a greater number of black graduate students (see Section IV) will, when implemented, presumably add to the number of blacks serving as advisors, tutors, and the like. A program of fellowships and active recruitment will bring more blacks to the Harvard graduate school, and these students will in time be available as teaching fellows, House tutors, and for such positions as Senior Tutor. However, pending this development, it is recommended that the Committee on Houses and the Freshman Dean be advised again that the black undergraduates feel that blacks are woefully underrepresented as tutors...
There are areas in which more immediate action can be taken, that fall within the jurisdiction or control, direct or indirect, of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences or its constituent members. Although the students recognized that many Departments have attempted to employ a greater number of blacks, more must be done to improve hiring policies with respect to blacks. Contractors engaged to work on University projects must be required to meet hiring standards analagous to those established for Federal contracts. And the departments, including the academic, the operating, and the support departments, must make a greater effort to hire...
