May 6, 19B1 Officials integrate By Tom Coyn* Staff Writer State Commission on Higher Education Chairman James Bos tic said yesterday the U.S. Department of Education has approved South Carolina's desegregation plan. The department issued an order to Gov. Dick Riley Jan. 7 requiring South Carolina to submit plans for bringing its public colleges and universities into compliance with Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The governor's office said it has not been officially notified of the plan's acceptance, but had been expecting a reply for about a week. Bostic said he was notified Monday of the plan's acceptance. He said he was told that a letter from the department to South Carolina officials was mailed Monday, but the letter has not yet arrived. BOSTIC SAID he would make no formal statement until he sees the letter and discusses it with commission members. The Greenville News reported yesterday that the letter states the department found the desegregation plan to be a "dedicated and thoughtful effort." The story also said South Carolina's proposal was described by the department as "positive in many respects." According to The Greenville News, the letter states that additional work is still needed on the $19.5 million plan. Federal officials will contact state officials this week to set up a meeting for working out problems with the plan, the newspaper reported. State officials hope these problems can be worked out by the end of the month. Under federal guidelines the state has five years to carry out the desegregation plan.

The Department of Education's order cited segregation in five major areas within the state's higher education system: 1. Racial .identifiability of schools based on student pnrnllmont fioiiroo 2. Inequities in resource allocation to S.C. State College. 3. Duplication of programs between S.C. Str te and other traditionally white institutions in the state. 4.
