| Who's Going to Run the Universities? |
Speaker(s): David Truman, Del Shields (host) |
Description: Dr. David B. Truman (1913-2003) was vice-president of Columbia University in New York City in 1968. Students had recently revolted at the university over the extent of government defense contracts, and the construction of a university gymnasium on a public park. Truman says the students have a right to question, but not to deny education to others. Caller questions relate to current status of the university, whether unrest at Columbia is related to unrest at universities in other nations, which faculty members can vote on policies, if young people are given too much, whether trustees run the university, why build a gymnasium in a public park, and are the faculty and trustees listening to student concerns? | Length: 58:57 | Recording Date: June 25, 1968 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City |
