Thomas N. Pollard Jr. and Mary Allen Anderson, admissions directors of Richmond and Westhampton College respectively, were confident that the program, which brought 65 black students to campus and was initiated by the Richmond College Senate, would improve recruitment of black students. Pollard suggested that the purpose of the program was to make black students aware of the University and explained that, while recruiters need to be trained, “students are the most important recruiters.” Pollard also described a “very successful” nine-day recruitment tour in Connecticut, New York City, and Long Island, facilitated by admissions counselor Dale W. Donovan. Anderson commented that these recruitment methods are important not only at University College but Westhampton too: “If we are going to have a diversified student body including black students, we should make provisions for them to catch up.” Subject The topic of the resource College admission officers College freshmen College integration College student government College students, Black Diversity Minority college students--Recruiting Student organizations Language A language of the resource English Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context CollegianLVIII.29.4-19710514.jpg Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Perkins, Cathy. “Black Students Day Reviewed Registrars Cite Potential Impact.” The University of Richmond Collegian LVIII, no. 29, (May 14, 1971): 4. <a href="https://collegian.richmond.edu/cgi-bin/richmond?a=d&d=COL19710514.2.17&srpos=1&e=--1964---1986--en-20--1--txt-txIN-" target="_blank">https://collegian.richmond.edu/cgi-bin/richmond?a=d&d=COL19710514.2.17&srpos=1&e=--1964---1986--en-20--1--txt-txIN-</a> Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Richmond (Va.) https://memory.richmond.edu/files/original/756485b27fe701e0002bf701bf164792.jpg 7cd3878e63037ea5b6c2f86ce9acfefe Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Pollard Jr., the University struggled to recruit minority students compared to state-supported schools as well as predominantly black universities. Pollard explained that the University’s financial aid policy was to meet entire need, including loans, which hindered the recruitment of those who could not afford a private institution: “Poor people don't mind paying 18 percent interest on a car or house because you can see it and touch it, but higher education isn't always emphasized in their culture, especially since the promise of getting a better job with it higher education doesn't always become a reality.” The University planned to address this “fiscal problem” at a Board of Trustees meeting on Dec. 8. According to the article, CIGNA Insurance Corporation offered scholarships for black students in the Richmond area, which, according to director of the Board of Trustees, Lewis T. Booker, the University sought. While the University had not offered any of these scholarships, Vice President of student affairs, William Leftwich, argued that it could still designate the funds. Assistant director of admissions, Bruce Hunter, emphasized the additional educational value and necessity of diversifying the University. Pollard noted that because of the private status of the university, it had "no reason to meet any artificial standards."

Dortch Warriner’s July decision in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, the article indicated that the Justice Department was uncertain whether it would appeal. Pendleton wrote to Education Secretary Terrel H. Bell and Attorney General William F. Smith that the ruling would allow sex discrimination in other programs that “while not directly targeted by federal funds, nonetheless receive and benefit from federal aid.” The article expressed that the National Coalition for Women and Girls in Education also sought an appeal from Secretary Bell.

The countersuit was in response to a suit brought by the University against the Department of Education for overreaching its jurisdiction – according to the University. William H. Leftwich, vice president for student affairs, indicated that the University’s athletic department received no federal funds and therefore the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) had no jurisdiction. Referencing cases in South Carolina and Pennsylvania, Dewey E. Dodds, the regional director of the OCR, indicated that “whether the ‘recipient’ institution receives, directly or indirectly, ‘federal financial assistance’ [that] benefits its programs and activities” is what matters with respect to Title IX. The article cited a Richmond Times-Dispatch article that reported that Carol Reese, UR’s assistance athletic director for women’s sports, claimed that UR was not in compliance with Title IX. Furthermore, the article referenced a 1980 edition of The Collegian that reported on members of the Women’s Athletic Council and a 1980 Board of Trustees Report regarding available scholarships.

William Leftwich, Vice President for student affairs and Title IX coordinator, as well as Elaine Yeates, chairman of the Board of Trustees’ Athletic Committee, hesitated to answer questions from female athletes as a result of this pending litigation. Additionally, athletic director Chuck Boone and women’s athletic director Ruth Goehring gave few explicit answers due to an additional pending case between the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women. However, administrators still maintained that progress had been made in the women's athletic department since 1979, citing increased scholarships and athletic success, particularly with the women’s basketball team. Female athletes at the forum pressed administrators on issues of inequalities in athletic budgets, treatment of athletes regarding hotels, transportation, restaurants, and recruiting, as well as the number of available scholarships. Peg Hogan, coach of the women’s swim team and the Aquanettes, suggested that everyday issues such as lack of heating in the Keller Hall locker room and availability of practice times depict inequalities. However, Goering suggested that women were not always worse off than men and in some ways might have been better off: “We have a law that says we must be treated fairly, the men don't.” Subject The topic of the resource Athletics College athletes College sports Sex discrimination in higher education Sexism United States.

The article expressed that U.S. District Judge D. Dortch Warriner expressed that the Justice Department would not appeal the July ruling for UR because “the programs being investigated, not just the students, had to receive federal funds.” William Kramer, Attorney for the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), expressed that the “Supreme Court’s definition of federal financial aid was insufficient to give federal authorities the legal right to investigate those programs.” The article mentioned W&M's football stadium, which required federal funds to build, and indicated that there would be an eventual decision on whether this would permit an investigation. W&M's affirmative action director, Dale Robinson, expressed surprise at the UR case decision, but indicated that “it will have no effect on W&M’s commitment to equality among men’s and women’s athletic programs."

Bruce Heilman addressed the National Association of Private College and University Presidents in Scottsdale, Arizona. Heilman discussed the “unwarranted intrusion of the federal bureaucracy into the affairs of private institutions of higher education.” He stated that he would discuss UR's experiences with government intrusion and how the University responded. Heilman referenced the 1979 letter that UR received from the Department of Education Regional Office of Civil Rights (OCR) “informing us of the intention of OCR to audit the University for compliance with a host of civil rights laws.”Heilman explained how following the 1979 letter from the OCR, UR retained counsel, decided that Heilman would not be directly involved with the investigation and that Title IX Coordinator William Leftwich would do so, and adopted an approach that the University would be “polite and civil but will resist undue demands on our time and will refuse to provide certain kinds of confidential information.” Heilman explained that the University highlighted its independence as a private university and emphasizing that the federal investigators “were on our campus as our guests and that they were deterring us from accomplishing our primary missions of teaching and learning.” Heilman emphasized the University’s decision to force the OCR to visit over the summer instead of the academic year. He also emphasized that the University “steadfastly refused” the OCR’s attempts to collect data and successfully deterred the OCR from investigating.Heilman then referenced the 1981 letter from the OCR that indicated that UR had received allegations “on the basis of sex in the University’s athletic programs.” The OCR articulated that it had ninety days to investigate these complaints and ninety additional days to demand corrective measures. Heilman expressed that he took the same approach to this investigation as in 1979 by granting the Vice President control over matters. Heilman expressed that UR took further measures by suing the OCR and the Office of Education. Heilman indicated that their strategy was to claim that the “federal government is harassing our institution, is requiring us to spend large sums of money which we do not have, and that they do not have the authority to investigate our intercollegiate athletic program by virtue of the fact that this program receives no federal funds.” Heilman expressed that the federal government responded with a countersuit and that the case was currently in federal district court — and that the outcome looked positive for the University. He concluded by asserting that UR is a law-abiding "corporate citizen" that needed to protect itself from the federal government, and urged other institutions to take a similar stand.
