Abstract

[A myriad of interlocking conflicts emanated from efforts to enforce the policies of faculty1 desegregation in the City of Chicago. These conflicts stemmed from the actions of federal agencies seeking to enforce the Civil Rights Act in a climate of both militant resistance and support. Federal agencies such as the Department of Justice and the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) disagreed with the Chicago Board of Education as the agencies worked to implement teacher desegregation. The Chicago Board of Education at times conflicted with the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) as they negotiated a number of limited faculty desegregation plans as a result of federal inducement. Still, these plans did not satisfy federal agencies. Ultimately, it was the threat to withhold funds resulting from administrative court proceedings that yielded success.]
