To the Editors of The Crimson:
The article by Robin Freedberg in your issue of July 2, 1973, entitled "Federal Government Rejects University's Hiring Proposal," includes a number of errors. This article also includes a number of statements taken out of context which leave the impression of a change in the policy of the Office for Civil Rights.
To clear the record, the policy of this office is and continues to be that sanctions will be imposed against any institution which fails to submit an acceptable Affirmative Action Plan. These sanctions include, but are not limited to the loss of Federal funds. We have a clear responsibility to resolve all issues voluntarily so that we can avoid imposing legal sanctions. Our objective is to secure compliance and not to cut off Federal funds. John G. Bynoe Regional Civil Rights Director Office for Civil Rights
