Professc legal vi< By the College Press Service A controversial City College 1 nrofiessor who studies race differ I ences and has said blacks are "significantly less intelligent than whites" has won a legal battle against his school. U.S. District Court Judge Ken- 1 neth Conboy ruled recently City College, part of the City University of New York system, violated Michael Levin's constitutional rights. The case pointed out the dangers of the "political correctness" movement Levin sued college officials last year, saying his due process and free speech rights were violated when City College formed a panel to review his research. He claimed the examination limited him professionally and threatened his tenure. In his ruling, Conboy wrote, "This case raises serious constitutional quesitions that go to the heart of the current national debate on what has come to be denominated as 'political correctness' in speech and thought on the campuses of the nation's colleges and universities." tiKi/\pr School one of fo to join elite groi From Staff Reports USC's school of Hotel, Restaurant < ism Administration has become one four such professional programs in the be accredited.

My court case shows that the roof won't come crumbling down on (others who do similar research)." The judge's ruling said City College cannot conduct any further inquiries into Levin's writings or views and it cannot establish separate class sections solely because of Levin's opinions. Levin, a philosophy professor, is on a one-year sabbatical and said he plans to finish writing a book about the implications of racial differences. In the meantime, City College and City University officials are investigating a case similar to Levin's involving remarks made by Leonard Jeffries, chairman of the school's black studies department. "Obviously, this (case) is going to help him," Levin said. Jeffries told hundreds of people at a black arts festival this summer that Jews in Hollywood worked with the Mafia to hold down blacks in society. The remarks prompted an outpouring of concern from political leaders. ogram ga lit* The four universities to were among nine random programs to be reviewed ir I j-' Fifty schools with four tourism administration pi .
