Struggle Over Representation of Educational Opporunities Program Student Association

1973 November 30

The Central Council temporarily freezes the funds of the EOPSA after a dispute arises over the representation of Puerto-Rican students in the organization's governing board. The Puerto-Rican faction, unsatisfied with a single representative in the administrative body of the EOPSA, advocates for expanding the number to 5. EOP Director Vernon Buck pushes for an investigation by the Central Council into the matter, suggesting that the EOPSA administration should put the conflict to a referendum of the Puerto Rican students.
