History notes:

During the late 1960s and early 1970s, the University of Cincinnati experienced a wave of protest and radicalism on campus, much like other universities throughout the United States. The height of the protest occurred in May of 1970, immediately after the Kent State shootings. UC closed on May 8th due to the fear of possible violence on campus, and later in the month, university administration decided to cancel the remainder of the Spring quarter.

In 1988, the University of Cincinnati hired Cresap, a consulting company to find ways to reduce costs in the administration of the University. Cresap submitted their study to the University in August of 1988. The report made 170 recommendations that would result in a savings of $11 million. The report suggested the elimination of a number of administrative and staff positions including 40 positions in the University Libraries alone.
