Black Protesters Allege Yale Bias

Seventy-five of an estimated 82 black undergraduates at Yale boycotted classes Tuesday and Wednesday in a protest of the University's treatment of New Haven's black community.

The boycott, organized by the Black Student Alliance, followed a rally in which BSA leaders charged Yale with discrimination against black students and failing to exert the political force necessairy to gain jobs for New Haven blacks.

In Cambridge this week the Harvard-Radcliffe Association of African and Afro-American Students called for a one-day strike of black students on April 26. That protest will be directed against "the war and its effect on black society."

A statement by the Yale group said "for too long we have...seemingly given our approval to the slow but steady castation of the black community in New Haven." Within the University the students charged campus police with harassment of black students and alleged that the Yale admissions committee discriminates against blacks.
