College Faculty Resolution

On Thursday evening, April 25, 1968, the following College Faculty Resolution was passed:

We the undersigned members of the Columbia University Faculty and teaching staff, make the following proposal to resolve the present crisis:

1. We, request the Trustees to implement the immediate cessation of excavation on the gymnasium site, by telephone vote if necessary.

2. We request the administration to delegate all disciplinary power on matters related to the present crisis to a tripartite committee, consisting of students, faculty and administration.

3. We request the students to evacuate all buildings now, and we pledge our faith and influence towards a solution. Should the students be willing to evacuate the buildings, we will not meet classes until the crisis is resolved along the above lines.

4. Until the crisis is settled, we will stand before the occupied buildings to prevent forcible entry by police or others.
