Reasons and Specifications Supporting the Action of the Board of Trustees in Removing Professor Shepherd
This was presented at the February 26 Board Meeting.
It was prepared in consultation with Strimple and others.
On motion, the document was adopted in modified form.
The Chairman of the Board was instructed to transmit the official final form of this document to Mr. Norman Shepherd as soon as possible.
Hewitson, Page 99

Faculty objected. “Reason” was revised, and its contents were never by an action of the full board.
