DISCRIMINATION IN STATE UNIVERSITY HOUSING PROGRAMS-POLICY AND CONSTITUTIONAL CONSIDERATION |
13 Stanford Law Review 60 (December, 1960) |
In nearly all major state universities today, substantial numbers of students are obliged to live off-campus in private apartments or rooming houses.

MUNICIPAL HOUSING CODES |
69 Harvard Law Review 1115 (April, 1956) |
It is generally recognized that the surest permanent solution to the problem of the worst slums is clearance of the blighted area followed by a program of urban redevelopment according to a comprehensive plan.

65 Yale Law Journal 755 (April, 1956) |
It is common knowledge that racial segregation is not restricted to the South. Every major industrial city in the North has a separate all-Negro community characterized by high population density, a very heavy percentage of slum dwellings, and steady expansion into whatever contiguous areas it can penetrate. The Northern pattern of segregation is... |

Discriminatory practices by private parties have compelled the Negro to compete for a home on unequal terms with the white.

RACE DISCRIMINATION IN HOUSING |
57 Yale Law Journal 426 (January, 1948) |
The Report of the President's Committee on Civil Rights has once again called public attention to the discrepancy between American aspiration and accomplishment in race relations. Housing clearly illustrates the national failure to treat individuals on the basis of individual merit rather than racial myth. In the construction of the twelve million... |

THE SEVEN MUTHS OF HOUSING. BY NATHAN STRAUS. NEW YORK: ALFRED A. KNOPF, 1944. PP. XVI, 314. $2.75 |
53 Yale Law Journal 593 (June, 1944) |
So low is the degree of public acceptance of subsidized housing for low income families in this country that a contemporary book which for the most part simply restates the case for public housing can be appropriately characterized as important. Such a book would be an anachronism in any modern European nation; here it is timely. The public housing... |
