As a result of Forbes charges, CSU president Walter B. Waetjen formed a committee to study the accusations. Businessman Arnold R. Pinkney was among 12 members of the Greater Cleveland Roundtable Committee to investigate the charges of racism at Cleveland State University.
Former Mayor George V. Voinovich endorsed this committee as the first step towards reconciliation through a thorough and impartial investigation.

I have a copy of the Greater Cleveland Roundtable's final report on “CSU Civic Committee on Race Relations” dated December 11, 1987. I will not post findings from the committe on my blog. Information regarding this report (and other findings) will be used in future publications, etc. I will try to show both sides of the issue.
During the summer of 1990, one of the longest student sit-ins since the Civil Rights Movement, according to the People's Daily World magazine, took place at Cleveland State University. I will be posting snippets from news articles, journals, books, photos and other materials leading up to the protest.
Were you a participant in the student protest? If so, I want to hear from you.
If you participated in the Cleveland State University student protest back in 1990, please send me your name and email address to iknowstan@gmail.com. All contact information will remain confidential. Please add 'CSU Protest Participant' in the subject line. Questionnaire, focus groups, face-to-face and phone interviews will be forthcoming. Follow the project on Facebook at #CSU1990Protest. Updated (4/8/2015).

Stan,
ReplyDeleteThis was a major committee report that led to the creation of the office I eventually occupied.
