                <text>This is a letter from a member of the US Senate to Dr. William Leftwich, Vice President for Student Affairs at the University of Richmond. This letter was written in response to a previous letter from Dr. Leftwich which stated that he opposed section 2568 of the Civil Rights Act (1984). The measure was tabled towards the end of the 98th Congress being offered as Amendment to the Continuing Resolution. The senator agreed with Dr. Leftwich about S. 2568 going above and beyond overturning the &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grove_City_College_v._Bell" target="_blank"&gt;Grove City (Title IX) Supreme Court decision&lt;/a&gt;. The senator said that the bill was drafted hastily and was not properly vetted and therefore was passed unamended. The Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee did not have a chance to amend the bill either. He believes that the bill will be revisited on the next session of Congress with a more thorough approach.</text>

                <text>This article discusses how &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_F._Byrd_Jr." target="_blank"&gt;Senator Harry F. Byrd Jr. called on President Nixon and the secretary of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) for the immediate removal of Dr. Eloise Severinson, HEW's regional director for Virginia. Byrd criticized Severinson's decisions, especially over her demands on educational institutions, which would "require lowering academic standards." Byrd made these claims of lowered standards after Severinson informed state schools that they would need to integrate in order to continue receiving federal funding under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Byrd argued the majority of state voters were against Dr. Severinson's changes to the education system in Virginia. Dr. Severinson had warned the College of William and Mary that they would lose $1 million a year in federal funding if they did not meet desegregation requirements of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Not only does Byrd want Dr. Severinson removed from HEW, but kept out of any leadership roles within the state.&lt;/a&gt;</text>
