...help create that situation, Guinier mailed out, throughout the University last week a draft of a memorandum written by two lecturers in the Department on the review procedure. In the memorandum, the lecturers, who got their jobs through Guinier, devote a paragraph to discussing his administrative abilities and the reasons why he should be allowed to continue as chairman. They conclude by saying that "changing chairmen in the same way that departments that have been established for several hundreds of years would seem not in Afro-American Studies best interest...
...Guinier's donation of $500 to the Pan African Liberation Committee also must be seen in the context of the Afro-American Studies review.

He has written numerous letters to the Crimson and has written extensively for outside publications on the subject. Even though Kilson said that "I can live with Afro-American...
...Review Committee met last weekend to consider a draft of its final report. Kilson concluded his efforts to influence the Review Committee two months ago and can now only wait to see its report. Guinier is likely to continue trying to lobby among black students in the event that he needs their help to preserve the department and his position...
