{"value"=>"<p>Major categories in the Subject File include: blacks at Harvard, blacks on white campuses and printed matter. Blacks at Harvard serves as the heading for materials from a workshop on the quality of life organized by Walter Leonard in 1973: letters, discussion materials, his address, \"Great Expectations or the Black Administrator in White Academia.\" This file also includes Guinier's own address at an earlier conference, \"Blacks at Harvard\", and some research materials, including Emory West's article \"Harvard and the Black Man, 1636-1850\" and a student paper \"A Black Studies Department at a White University\" by Ed Sanders-Bey. Other materials on blacks at Harvard include memoranda by members of the Afro-American Studies Department, background materials on minority recruitment, correspondence and printed matter on black graduate enrollment and activities at Harvard, and selected records of the Association of Black Faculty, Administrators and Teaching Fellows at Harvard. Also included here are files on minority and ethnic programs and the Inter-Institutional Black Studies Program which offered courses on African and African-American subjects prior to the founding of the Afro-American Studies Department. The section Blacks on White Campuses groups various research files on student activism, black enrollment and recruitment, black faculty and administrators, and the 1974 DeFunis \"reverse discrimination\" case. Additional files exist for black colleges, research topics and conferences on black studies, curriculum development and course outlines, evaluation and questionnaire forms, and on the orientation and purpose of black studies in general. There are also several printed matter files on the Afro-American Studies Department, and the decline and future of black studies after 1973.</p>"}
