Bloomfield College is a small institution in Bloomfield, New Jersey, which consists of 131 students and 21 faculty members. Last year, Bloomfield's president, Frederick Schweitzer, decided that Bloomfield needed teachers and it needed money.
"So, it's a star-chamber session!" Quinn exclaimed, adding, "that's not the American way. Dr. Klapper. You must remember Queens College is a public institution, supported by taxpayers' money, and what the faculty does is everybody's business."
After the hearing ended, the Education Committee switched the wording of H-442 back from "advocacy of overthrow" to "atheistic communism." The penalty, which had been on the institution concerned, was instead placed on the individual teacher.
This bill, "H-220," barred from employment in any educational institution in the state any "person who is a member of the Communist Party or who by speech or in writing advocates its doctrines, or who by speech or in writing advocates the overthrow by force" of the government.
The Miami administration denied this, stating that the three men were not reappointed on basis of "lack of need" of their services. "This institution," the university said, "maintains no record of political affiliation of staff members."
