Frazier
Continues
Boycott
Usually reliable sources report that Greensboro attorney
Robert Frazier, immediate past
chairman of the Guilford College
Board of Trustees, is continuing
his boycott of trustee meetings.
In addition it was reported to
THE GUILFORDIAN that Frazier
has asked several prominent
Greensboro residents to withhold
contributions to Guilford's fund
raising drive; on the grounds that
the college has "deteriorated."
Sources close to the Board of
Trustees report that Frazier has
not attended a trustee meeting
since last April when the Board
decided to open its membership
to non-Quakers. The prominent
Greensboro attorney vigorously
opposed the Board's decision.
After Frazier assumed an
inactive role, his duties were
assumed by vice-chairman Edwin
Brown of Murfreesboro. Brown
was elected permanent chairman
at the October quarterly
trustee meeting.
Observers see Frazier's inactivity as the culmination of a
long and often bitter controversy with more liberal Board members.
Disagreement arose over such
issues as the acceptance of federal funds, and the general policies of Guilford's present administrators as well as the enlargement of the Board to include non-Quakers.
Last spring Frazier drew
widespread criticism from students and faculty members after THE GUILFORDIAN publicized his defense of slumlord
W.W. Horton.
