The problems of racial and religious discrimination on college campuses, already under critical study by educators and school administrators, will be surveyed by undergraduates themselves at the end of this month at a forthcoming National Student Conference on Human Relations in Higher Education. Student delegates from 251 colleges and universities have been invited to participate at a three-day meeting, March 29-31, on the campus of Earlham College, Richmond, Ind.
Sponsor of the conference–the first of its kind in which students will represent their schools in an official capacity–is the American Council on Education’s committee on discriminations in higher education. Cooperating agencies include the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Federation of Catholic College Students, Newman Club Federation, the student divisions of the YW and YMCA and the United States National Student Association.
