Memorandum to the Coalition Against Racism and Apartheid on Campus (CARAC) discussing the campaign to get the MSU (Michigan State University) Foundation to divest from companies doing business in South Africa. The memorandum says the May 21 meeting was attended by Bill Derman, Dave Dwyer, Pat and Frank Beeman. CARAC members are urged to attend the June 6 Trustees meeting, and posters will be provided. The memorandum says Sharon Peters, Assistant Secretary of State and President of the MSU Black Alumni, will present a letter or resolution to the Board and that tentative plans are for students to present a resolution for the Trustees to send to the Foundation urging divestment. The memorandum says Bill and Dave are working on a set of questions for the Trustees and officials who are on the governing boards of both the University and the Foundation to disclose their position on the Foundation's divestment. The memorandum says all CARAC members are asked to write to the State News to point out that their editorial of May 17 against divestment in wrong.
