Article from the Swarthmore Phoenix published on November 2, 1962 reports about the decision by the governing body of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) regarding reaction to the University of Mississippi's segregationist policies. It is reported that the AAUP will wait to respond and extend support until it hears about any actions taken against professors opposing the policy. Concern is focused on professor's safety as well as threats to the freedom of students, faculty, the University, and higher education. The AAUP predicts its possible reactions, including recommending the University's loss of academic accreditation or providing lost wages to professors who take a position on "the Meredith matter."
