Faculty resignations at SF State

Scenes from a press conference at SF State College during which four members of faculty explain their decision to resign from their posts. Joseph White states: “There is one and only one purpose to reducing EOP: to prevent non-white students from enrolling in this college … Under these conditions we can only submit our resignations.” Ends with President S.I. Hayakawa’s immediate reaction to these resignations: “Each of the men involved had already made plans to leave” and he goes on to claim that the Black Studies Program might well be “enhanced by their resignations.”
