The National Japanese American Student Relocation Council

The National Japanese American Student Relocation Council (NJASRC) was created by American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) and university administrators as a means of relocating Japanese American college students to other universities and colleges away from the West coast during World War II, and to prevent these students from being interned in government-run internment camps.
