...front page of The Weeks in Review section of April 27, the following statements appeared: "Campus Turmoil--Faculty Falters in Leadership Role: The student revolt took two significant turns at major universities last week. At Cornell, guns were used for the first time in the seizure of a building. At Harvard, the faculty gave Negro students a voice in selection of black studies professor ... the faculty, under pressure from black students broke with one of the basic traditional principles. It voted to give students a major voice--six undergraduates to seven professors--in the selection of teachers...
...Times has commented on the role of students in the selection of professors for the Afro-American Studies Department. It is essential to understand the facts here also.

The director of the office of Behavioral Research of the Air Force subsequently approached me in my then capacity as Director of the Institute of International Studies at Berkeley, together with the Director...
...East. Most of the graduate students supported by the grant who have studied students have been grant advocates of student activism. At least one recipient was a major leader of student protest in this country. It is curious that the CRIMSON and other critics of the role of government funds never mention left-wing supporters who have received such grants. For example, the leading defender of SDS on the Harvard faculty mentioned at a faculty meeting that he had received Defense Department funds for many years, and had only recently terminated this relationship I should note also that I have...
