Description An account of the resource This document is a memo from William H. Leftwich to E. Bruce Heilman and Charles E. Glassick that was sent on November 26, 1973. Leftwich wrote to Heilman and Glassick about the Student Organization for Black Awareness (SOBA) at the University of Richmond; Leftwich helped black students create the group and wrote of it: "their purposes are social in nature, as well as serving as a vehicle for black identity and visibility." According to Leftwich, the group was having problems due to a lack of purpose and goals, and Jim Sartain, their advisor, and Dick Mateer, whose position is not named, were trying to help and work with the group. SOBA’s President, Stanley Davis, and other members had asked to meet with the University Administration, so Leftwich asked Heilman and Glassick to attend SOBA’s meeting to show the university’s interest in the group and black students. Attached to the letter was a handwritten note from Sartain about his two-and-a-half-hour meeting with SOBA, and he told Leftwich to be prepared for SOBA to request a "two-way informational meeting" with the University Administration. At the bottom of this handwritten note, the word "WARNING" is written in red.

Description An account of the resource This document is a memo from R. S. Underhill of University College to George M. Modlin, the President of the University of Richmond, that was sent on October 14, 1963, with the subject "McGuire Veterans Hospital." Underhill wrote to Modlin regarding problems with integration in the Management Center; Underhill told Dr. Scott, the Director at McGuire, and Mr. Hitchings, the Assistant Director at McGuire, that "there were no barriers as far as the Center was concerned to putting on integrated programs at McGuire" and that there were also no barriers "because of race, color or creed" in on-campus programs. Underhill told Scott and Hitchings that they could enroll a black person in one of his courses if they wanted to challenge Underhill’s claims because then they would be able to "state unequivocally to the people in Washington that we were integrated." Instead, Hitchings enrolled one of his staff members who is not black. Scott and Hitchings were still concerned about integration problems at the university and were unable to contact Modlin by phone; however, Underhill did not want to issue an official statement regarding the university’s policy. Scott and Hitchings were still interested in having Underhill put on some "in-plant programs" at the hospital and Underhill wrote that he believed doing this would lead to an expansion of his training to other hospitals in the area. The University would not begin integrating until 1964.

Leftwich to University of Richmond President Dr. E. Bruce Heilman. In the memo, Leftwich describes the October 30, 1980, visit of Raymond Hatcher, from the Office of Civil Rights (OCR), accompanied by University counsel, Eva Tashjian-Brown. Tashjian-Brown reported to Leftwich that Hatcher was "most pleased" by the University's structural changes during this follow-up audit. Leftwich writes that that he expects a letter and summary from Hatcher in the near future, and that "it is safe to say that the OCR file on the University of Richmond will be closed at least for some period of time." The memo was copied to Mr. Louis W. Moelchert, Mr. Ron Hicks, Dr. Clifton Poole, Dean Thomas A. Edmonds, Dean John Gordon, and Ms. Joanne C. Patton, in an expression of thanks for the accomplishments of the University's affirmative action plans.

Tashjian-Brown spoke with Raymond Hatcher of the OCR, who was pleased with the progress the University made in complying with "Title VI, Title IX, and Section 504 of the Handicapped," likely referring to structural accommodations for people with disabilities. Leftwich notes that Hatcher may still want "to come to campus for more or less a perfunctory visit" in order to close University of Richmond's OCR file. Leftwich explains Tashjian-Brown will accompany Hatcher on his October 30 visit to look at "the ramps we have built, curb cuts, etc." Subject The topic of the resource Affirmative action programs College buildings--Barrier-free design Discrimination against people with disabilities Education, Higher Minority college students--Recruiting People with disabilities--Civil rights--United States United States.

The writers inform that the Office for Civil RIghts of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) is investigating institutions for which the office has received complaints of Title IX violation. Accordingly, University of Akron, University of Bridgeport, Cornell University, Howard University, University of Kansas, University of Michigan, Oklahoma State University and Washington State University were eight among the 80 institutions that have complaints pending, a statistic that did not include those colleges and universities against which complaints had recently been filed. Moreover, the memo states the process that the institutions must undertake if they are subject to a Title IX compliance review by the Office of Civil Rights. This process involves a data request by the office, which shall be responded to and analyzed by the office, followed with on-site investigations and interviews at the college or university and post-on-site analysis of data collected. The letter specifies that failure to demonstrate compliance with Title IX would result in a "termination of federal financial assistance" received by the institution.

Pollard, Jr, Director of Admissions for Richmond College, addressed to Dean C. J. Gray. The memo outlines the efforts made by the Richmond College Student Government Association (RCSGA) to sponsor an Open Campus for Black Students on April 27 of the same year. Pollard, Jr. writes that his office wrote to 115 High School Juniors in the Richmond, Henrico, and Chesterfield areas who were believed to exhibit qualities desired by Richmond and Westhampton Colleges. Invitations were also sent out to the counselors and divisional supervisors of guidance by the Chairman for the Committee on Campus Life Steven L. Nock. Pollard notes that this was a primarily student led effort, and that University officials remained in the background during the sessions. Over 65 students and six counselors registered and attended the program on April 27th, 1971. Twenty students from Richmond and Westhampton Colleges participated in the planning and execution of the program with the help of faculty advisors Dr. Martin Ryle, Dr. Frank Eakin, and Dr. Henry H. Stewart. Mrs. Madelyn Williams, guidance counselor at Maggie Walker High School, additionally helped the advisory committee in the planning of this event. Pollard ends the memo by asserting how "genuinely impressed" he was by the enthusiasm and commitment the University students made toward this integration effort, but that he has no way of knowing how beneficial it will be in the long term.
