Series IV: New University Conference (NUC) Materials, 1968-1975, inclusive

Series IV deals with the New University Conference (NUC), an Ann Arbor-based and socialist-influenced organization which was led primarily by faculty. Students active in the Anti-War Movement also played a significant role in the organization. NUC-NYU's activities fully reflected the national organization's concerns with providing leftist education alternatives for undergraduate and graduate students. Some of the NUC-NYU projects documented in this series are: the publication of NYU Inc., a financial and social analysis of NYU's Trustees Council, endowment investments, Law School, and financial ties to war contractors and the South African government; the early research for and support of the "University Without Walls" program at Washington Square, and involvement in the creation of the Metropolitan Studies Program; and finally, the Ivan Bennett Affair, to name only a few of the more prominent examples of NUC's activities.
