Description An account of the resource This letter was sent on April 13, 1954, by L. Maynard Catchings to George M. Modlin, the President of the University of Richmond. Catchings wrote to Modlin regarding racial integration at the university. Catchings was a part of the Student Movement of the YMCA, a Christian organization that "aided students in overcoming racial prejudices" because it is "the basic Christian belief that, all men are brothers under God, and that discrimination on grounds of race creates a serious gap between our belief and our practices." The Student Movement of the YMCA sponsored interracial student-faculty conferences. Catchings wanted to offer his organization’s services to the university and other private, Southern, Christian colleges. He also asked Modlin questions about racial integration at the university.

Description An account of the resource This document is a letter from David F. Cavers, the Chairman of the Special Committee on Racial Discrimination of the Association of American Law Schools, to T. Justin Moore, the Rector of the University of Richmond’s Board of Trustee, that was sent on February 4, 1955. In 1951, the Association amended its Articles of Association so that one of its objectives for member schools was to not discriminate on the basis of race. In 1954, the Association voted that "copies of the Special Committee’s Interim and Final Reports for 1954 be sent ‘to deans of member schools not in compliance with the Association’s anti-discrimination objective and to the administrations and governing boards of the universities and colleges with which those schools are connected," which were attached to this letter. Other schools in the Association were encouraged by the successful integration at other member schools, so Cavers believed that racial discrimination in law schools would end that year. Furthermore, to reinforce the non-discrimination objective, the Special Committee would hold a meeting in Washington, D.C. to discuss discrimination. Cavers wrote that he hopes that the university will end racial discrimination and extended the Special Committee’s services.

The decision was made to continue the policy of not accepting African American students under the justification that it had been the policy for 124 years and there wasn’t yet enough pressure to change that structure. The report stated that the university relied on its alumni, friends, and the Baptists General Association of Virginia for “financial and other support” and that these constituents had not accepted the policy of desegregation. This document shows the power that financial supporters had on the social policies of the university.

Description An account of the resource This document is a letter from Edwin P. Conquest, the Chairman of Richmond Forward, to President George M. Modlin. Conquest wrote to Modlin on March 11, 1965, to inform him of Richmond Forward’s resolution which was unanimously passed on March 10, 1965. Richmond Forward was interested in "the best possible government for Richmond and in determining the best possible method of solving our urban problems" and felt it necessary to conduct non-partisan research on Richmond’s "urban problems." In addition, they requested the University of Richmond’s help to "set up the appropriate department to undertake non-partisan research into the problems facing the City of Richmond and the two adjacent counties, Henrico and Chesterfield." It is unclear what Richmond Forward means by "urban problems," but is likely tied to nationwide efforts towards urban renewal. Urban renewal often destroyed historical landmarks and neighborhoods, many of them populated by marginalized communities.

The second choice was Ted Kennedy, a liberal senator known for championing economic and social justice. The majority of those on the list were in politics. There weren't any women on the list.

Based on these allegations, the office determined that they had the authority to investigate the issue, which appeared to fall under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. According to the letter, this amendment "prohibits sex discrimination in educational programs or activities receiving Federal financial assistance." Moreover, Dodds refers President Heilman to Robert E. Harvey, Director of Postsecondary Education Division at the office for future reference if the former has any questions.

Bruce Heilman by Dewey Dodds, Director of Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights, regarding the compliance review of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Dewey reiterates that this regulation “prohibits sex discrimination in federally assisted education programs and activities” and that a complaint was filed with the office on January 22, 1981 alleging that the University of Richmond was discriminating against sex in its intercollegiate athletic program. Therefore, Dodds informs Heilman that it is part of the responsibility of the Department of Education to conduct a compliance review, hence he requests the provision of certain data prior to their visit in order to “minimize the amount of time that you and your staff need to devote to this review.” Among other things, the data requested includes: copies of the 1979-1980 budgets for men’s and women’s intercollegiate athletic programs; copies of written policies for awarding athletic financial assistance to male and female athletes, establishing competitive and practice schedule, and determining the use and availability of facilities; a list of methods of transportation used by each team, as well as a list of each training and conditioning facility available to athletes by sex and their location on campus, etc. Subject The topic of the resource Athletics College presidents College sports Education, Higher Federal aid to private schools Sex discrimination in higher education Women college students United States.

The OCR commended the University for creating a more accessible campus for "handicapped students," and their "efforts to implement the provisions of its Affirmative Action and Transition Plans."

Dodds refers to a "March 25, 1980 meeting attended by University staff and legal representatives" and OCR staff members, as well as a March 31, 1980 letter, in which the University agreed to: improve enrollment of minority students through corrected recruitment and admissions programs, "use financial aid as an inducement in its recruitment program," "include a statement of non-discrimination on its application forms and in all new university publications," "take additional measures to assure minority students full access to the placement services," "make all necessary structural changes to assure accessibility for handicapped students by June 2, 1980," and to develop "a centralized system to facilitate accommodation efforts for handicapped students by June 1, 1980." An OCR staff member spoke with University of Richmond Vice President for Student Affairs William H. Leftwich on September 5 and 25. Leftwich promised to submit proof of fulfilling these agreements by October 15, 1980. Dodds informs Heilman of an on-site visit to the University on October 30.
