“We have skyrocketing tuition in

Hueli acknowledged that enroll

the tuition surcharge, but he said
the administration hopes that is not
the case.
To help avoid forced drop-outs,
the University has committed

soften the blow for about 2,200 of
the neediest students.
“We certainly know that students

h<is yet to receive his diploma despite
completing all required credits and
even taking extra courses demanded
by administrators. N(]C could not be
reached tor comment during the
weekend to confirm this information.
(’Jewett and her supporters say
that incidents of racial discrimina
tion are commonplace at the college,
and the administration is insensitive
to the plight of its minority students.
“I did not understand this, the
real roots in racism, until 1 lived
and worked in NCC,” (Jewett said.
“It permeates every aspect of the
institution.”
However, not all black students
believe an atmosphere of racial bias
exists at N( XI.
James Van Hook, a black former
student at the college, said his edu
cational experience at N(X] was a
positive one. As a basketball player,
Van 1 look said he never felt mistreat
ed because of his race. I le said coach
Dave Lipp always treated him fairly
and only came down on him when
he really was at fault. Van Hook
added that whenever he had prob
lems, the administration and faculty
ol N(X never hesitated to step in.
“The teachers took care of me —
in fact, they made sure 1 was okay,”
Van Hook said. “1 always felt that 1
could ask for help on something if I
needed it."
The only people Van Hook felt
alienated from were (Jewett and her
staff in the education department.
Van Hook said the former dean and
the resigned education professors ig
nored him because lie didn’t share a
common background with them of
coming from a big city. (Jewett and
her colleagues extended their hand
to the other black students, Van
Hook said, but not to him.
“Because 1 wasn’t in the LA.type
of clique or whatever, they didn't
have anything to say to me,” Van
I look said.
NCC President dim Womack said
the campus is a wele<>ming, intellectu
al environment for all students, lie
added that whenever an incident oc
curred where a minority student felt
discriminated against, the administra
tion worked to resolve the situation.
“The issues were dealt with and I
understood it was to everyone’s mu
tual satisfaction,” Womack said.
Womack said Clewett’s dismissal
had no connection to the letter she
sent or to her efforts to defend the
rights of minority students. Womack
would not divulge the details that led
to Clewett’s dismissal, hut said the
decision was made before she sent
the letter criticizing the administra
tion for the treatment of black stu
dents on campus.
“As far as I’m concerned, the memo
is totally irrelevant,” Womack said.
Clewett and the three education
pn >fess< >rs wh(> resigned have been re
placed with part-time faculty from the
department, and classes started as
scheduled last week. I lowever, Wom
ack said the recent controversy
br< mght up by former faculty and stu
dents is interfering with current edu
cational efforts going on at the college.
“Students don’t like their college
labeled as racist. It’s not true. It’s dis
turbing to them,” he said.
The controversy at NCC remains
heated, and it does not appear as if
things will cool off soon. Webb is
planning to file criminal charges
against Lipp for shoving him after a
basketball game in December, and
Clewett and her former staff have
hired attorneys and plan to take legal
action. They said they will meet with
their lawyers later this week to de
cide the best way to proceed.
