Granville Sawyer, president of predominantly black Texas Southern University, for example, says that his approach involves "a gradual increase of pressure and force until the situation...
...also turning questions of discipline over to a student board empowered to conduct hearings and appeals on everything short of "major disasters." Cornell University mailed questionnaires to students, faculty and alumni seeking their nominations for a successor to James Perkins, who resigned the presidency after the crisis last spring.
