Title
Draft of Campus Referendum
Description
This memo, sent to Queens College's librarians from delegates to the Campus Caucus, invites comments on a proposed campus referendum that had been crafted by representatives from several academic departments. The memo lays out the procedures for the vote as well as a rough draft of the referendum which includes several questions—including ones about protest permissibility and disciplinary measures—that speak to the concerns surrounding student unrest on campus in March/April 1969.
