campbell was strongly opposed to the admission of african-american students to florida state. "campbell exacted deference from the campus community, suppressed the liberal editorial policy of the semi-weekly "florida flambeau" newspaper, and refused to tolerate any breach of racial segregation. he forced the campus chapter of the american association of university professors (aaup) to cancel a regional conference at fsu when he learned that black faculty members from the neighboring florida agricultural and mechanical university (famu) planned to attend." campbell attempted to ban student participation at pro-integration meetings, as well as to prohibit the school newspaper, the "flambeau", from writing about racial segregation
