The petition says we, the undersigned students, staff, and faculty at Cornell University, believe that it is inconsistent for a university dedicated to principles of racial equality to support in any way institutions which engage in racial discrimination; in consequence, we demand that Cornell University deny the use of its facilities to all recruiters from institutions engaging in racially discriminatory hiring and employment practices, either at home or abroad; we do not now affirm or disaffirm the position of those who would have all recruiting banned from campus; but at the very least -- just as the University has banned discriminatory fraternities and activities, and just as the University Housing Office has denied the use of listing facilities to discriminatory landlords -- we feel it should similarly be University policy to ban all recruitment for institutions that practice racial discrimination. The leaflet says return petitions to The Office, 308 Stewart Ave., or in the mailbox of Prof. Eric Krystall, 106 McGraw Hall. [Note: The address of The Office is that of Glad Day Press.]
