Description
In this article, Hine reported that Industrial Psychology professor, Gerald Bayley, initiated the petition for faculty integration. Demands for immediate hiring of qualified Black professors indicated petitioners' skepticism that university administration would act. Black sociology graduate student, Rommel Benjamin, supported the effort but expressed skepticism that white students would accept lessons from Black instructors, professors or graduate students.
