The president of Brandeis University has announced that he will recommend to the board of trustees that two students be elected to sit as voting members of various board committees and participate in board meetings. Morris B. Abram made the announcement at the end of a four day meeting between representatives of the faculty, students, alumni, trustees and administrators.
He said the student members of the board of trustees would be “elected by the entire student body in a campus-wide election at which not less than 60 percent of the students would participate.” He said each candidate would have to receive a majority vote. Brandeis, the only Jewish-sponsored non-sectarian university in America, was the scene of campus disorders earlier this year.
