What Followed from the FSM
on the Berkeley Campus
Editorial note: This outline of post-FSM
developments will be expanded, particularly in its Faculty and Administrative sections. We
expect that our cooperation with the Bancroft Library will enable us to make the texts of
many documents from 1965 available here by late 2000. We invite others who care, to help
us make the documents from later years available online. Meanwhile, we intend to elaborate
this outline with useful references to published accounts and interpretations. We hope
that other veterans and scholars familiar with aspects of this local history will help us
gather references, source documents, and unpublished materials -- particularly their own,
and of personal character -- that may be put on line, to illuminate the complex era of
developments that followed the FSM.
