Petition Signers Recommend Rapid Integration of MSU Staff

Description

In this article, Hine reported that Industrial Psychology professor, Gerald Bayley, initiated the petition for faculty integration.

Black sociology graduate student, Rommel Benjamin, supported the effort but expressed skepticism that white students would accept lessons from Black instructors, professors or graduate students.
