The records of the Good Neighbor Council at North Carolina State University contain meeting minutes, correspondence, memoranda, annual reports and other reports, committee membership rosters, and other information regarding the activities of the committee in their duties to encourage employment and enrollment of qualified people without regard to race, religion, or other forms of discrimination. Materials range in date from 1966 to 1979.

Founded in 1967 by North Carolina State University Chancellor John T. Caldwell, the Good Neighbor Council was charged with the responsibility of encouraging the employment of qualified people without regard to race, religion, or other forms of discrimination. The committee was also created to urge enrollment of minority students at North Carolina State University, especially African American students. As a result, the Good Neighbor Council acted as an instrument in resolving racial tensions on campus and dealing with discrimination felt by faculty, staff, and students on and off campus. Dr. James Maddox acted as the first chairman of the committee, which was run by faculty and later included students.
