Transcript | ♦VI. RECOMMENDATION RE INTEGRATION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON .ii i ■ - ■■ ■ i - - n i i i i In the light of current events, local and national, and in considering the problem from a long-range viewpoint, I do not feel now is the time for the University of Houston to integrate. I do not feel that integration has progressed to the extent we first thought, and since this is a political year, making it difficult to get a clear picture of the real problem, I feel the University should not make a decision at this time. From Dr. Williams' report which was mailed you a week ago, you learned we do not expect to have any suits on our hands. With the nation as a whole holding this matter in abeyance as it now appears to be doing, I do not feel the University of Houston should take the lead in integrating. For this reason, I recommend that the University of Houston continue its study on the subject, following the same policies we have observed in the past. If and when Houston becomes integrated, it is not my belief that the University should be the first to do so. This matter is not for publication, and it does not appear on the newspaper's agenda. |
