THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA REPORT OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMITTEE 1994-1995 The Human Rights Committee received two complaints during 1994-1995. One of the complaints led the committee to consider and review the services provided to disabled students. The committee also considered ways to enhance its visibility on campus and its relationship with other charter committees. These included the Philip G. Hubbard award recipient was chosen; in-service was provided; and a newspaper article was written. there was no specific focus to the '94-95 year issues were dealt with as they arose. The following is a chronologic report of the committee's activities. The fall semester activities consisted of introducing new members of the committee to the purposes and functions of the committee. Members of the committee learned that the multiple roles of the committee are as investigator, clarifier. advocate and educator for policy changes. A letter had been sent to the committee by a person who was upset with issues on campus. This became a complaint, but due to the nature of the complaint, the committee was unable to deal with it. The committee requested an update on the report and recommendations related to the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual Faculty Staff Association. The update was in the form of a letter from Provost Nathan, and it indicated that he believed some of the issues had been addressed and that the recommendations had also been forwarded to the Task Force on Diversity. The Violence Report was submitted to the President's office. The Hubbard Award was discussed. Information was distributed on campus and an ad was placed in the Daily Iowan. Don Davis was chosen to receive the award and it was presented to him at the Finkbine dinner on April 18, 1995. A second complaint was received and reviewed. The complainant had filed complaints with several groups and due to the committee's change in the charter, "where no other grievance procedure exists", it was determined that the committee could not act unless the complainant was left with no other recourse. The complaint initiated discussion within the committee regarding issues related to disabilities and how those issues might best be resolved. It was decided that we would invite Donna Chandler from the Students with Disabilities Services to present to the committee. She was asked to discuss how her office provides services to students. It was also agreed that the committee could consider assisting with educating the faculty and advising the administration on learning disability issues. The Human Rights Committee is interested in talking with other charter committees to let them know what the committee is and how the committees might interact. Therefore, a presentation was made to the Staff Senate. Respectfully submitted, [actual signature] Michael J Lammer Chair, Human Rights Committee Human Rights Committee Iowa City, Iowa 52242
