00:00:00.970 - 00:00:19.840

I'm here along with these other gentlemen representing an ad hoc faculty group. We have met and passed two resolutions very briefly. These resolutions say one that unless George Mason Murray is restored to his position by Tuesday five o'clock, our group, the I Talk Faculty Committee, will

00:00:19.840 - 00:00:36.860

strike on Wednesday Second Proposition as a recommendation of the same ad hoc group that the faculty provided defense fund to defend George Murray under the belief that the action of the chance that was unconstitutional. Our protest is not against the president. It is against the chancellor

00:00:36.860 - 00:00:50.270

and his continued interference. And this is for many of us, simply the last straw in this explosive situation for him to interfere once more against the advice of the president, against the advice of faculty against the advice of the mayor of San Francisco, he moved in

00:00:50.430 - 00:01:09.110

precipitously. Illegitimately, I would say, in violation of everything that's important to make an institution such as our survive in times of crisis, such as the it is our hope that all responsible members of the San Francisco community, black and white, will call upon both sides in

00:01:09.110 - 00:01:32.720

this dispute to agree to arbitration so that a black studies department can come into being. By the spring semester of 1969 a short three months away, the faculty voted that the instructional program be suspended indefinitely with the faculty remaining in continuous session until the immediate and

00:01:32.720 - 00:02:24.080

long range problems of the college are resolved. They're still classes. A lot of money. Yeah, Thank you. Sure. Don't you have a nice don't you? The faculty of San Francisco State College hereby sensor Chancellor Glennis Donkey for his conduct and request his resignation of Chancellor of

00:02:24.080 - 00:03:05.190

the California State College. Well, going back up you if they come here because I was gonna hit themselves on it's clear that as a result of the pattern of confrontations and violence that have arisen out of the basic issues confronting the college and the

00:03:05.330 - 00:03:22.800

strike and additionally, the turmoil on the campus, we don't believe that is possible to carry on a constructive educational program. And we don't believe either that in this context we can get at the basic issues and get at them in a way in which we have

00:03:22.800 - 00:03:37.780

an opportunity to resolve thousands and thousands of legitimate students who want to go to school and are enrolled there have a right to go to school, and they have no right to allow a little militant minority both of faculty and students, to close down the university

00:03:37.780 - 00:03:52.790

and deny the others there right to the education that there they're trying to get and all it takes is the courage to stand up and take whatever action is necessary to ensure that the majority can go about their business as they obviously want to do.
