Description

In this newspaper article, Pepper noted that HEW found the State Board of Trustees non-compliant. The Federal organization demanded the Board devise a feasible plan to desegregate the state's education system in compliance with the Civil Rights Act of 1964. HEW officials hoped for a postively reinforced effort for desegregation of Mississippi's higher education system but noted that Federal funding could be withdrawn from non-compliant institutions.
