Description
This June 13, 1973, letter from attorney Michael Curtis to University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) Dean of Students James H. Allen is a response to Allen's June 6, 1973 letter regarding proposed changes to the Neo-Black Society constitution. Curtis, the attorney representing UNCG Student Government Association (SGA) members, states that his clients appreciated the Neo-Black Society's willingness to add language to its constitution stating that it was open to all members, regardless of race, but that he is concerned that there was no provision for the organization to make an explicit public statement to that effect. On March 26, 1973, University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) Student Government Association (SGA) had voted to reclassify (removed funding and recognition from) the Neo-Black Society. The SGA decision was overturned by university administration on the basis of faulty evidence and improper procedure by SGA, resulting in an eventual legal case that led to the Neo-Black Society's reinstatement as a recognized and funded organization.
