Dr. Clyde R. Miller, authority on the adoption of the Springfield plan for racial unity, is being dropped from his position as professor at Columbia University.
Dr. Miller has been notified that he will not be identified with the institution as a teacher after June 30.
A member of the faculty at Teachers College since 1928, Dr. Miller has been on leave since 1943. At a meeting of the board of trustees on March 24, his appointment was terminated, effective on the date given above.
Dr. Miller said he took leave of absence under protest in 1943 when the university was cutting down its staff to meet a financial emergency. Later, he said, he was advised to seek permanent employment elsewhere. Putting his protest into the hands of the American Association of University Professors hoping to be eventually reinstated, he served in the interim as consultant to church groups and others interested in putting the Springfield plan in operation in their communities.
He blamed his dismissal to a lack of interest on the part of the university administration in his program for teaching propaganda analysis and the Springfield plan for overcoming racial and religious intolerance.
