REPORT OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMITTEE

1992 - 1993

Even though the 1992-93 Human Rights Committee received only one complaint, this year was busy nonetheless. "In-service" training, the Philip G. Hubbard Human Rights Award and the Violence Policy required more of the committee's time, and the committee decided to be proactive as human rights issues arose. 

The 1992-93 Human Rights Committee spent a considerable amount of time in educational training sessions. The committee invited the Ombudsperson to give members training on investigative procedures. The Office of Affirmative Action asked to meet with the committee to introduce the Affirmative Action staff to the new committee members and give that office's perspective on complaint investigations and resolution. After reviewing the "Report of the Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual Student, Staff, and Faculty Survey of 1991," the committee invited the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Staff and Faculty Association to conduct sensitivity training session with committee members. 

The Human Rights Committee kept informed on several issues. Richard Saunders, Manager of Staff Benefits, reviewed the domestic partner health insurance proposal with the committee, and after the committee expressed its support for the proposal, Mr. Saunders agreed to keep the committee informed of changes. The committee cosponsored the videoconference "Enhancing Race Relations On Campus: New Challenges & Opportunities," and committee members attended. Tom Baker, Assistant to the Dean of Students. made a presentation to the committee on the Violence Policy and distributed memos that he and Kevin Ward sent to appropriate individuals on campus informing them of their responsibilities under this new policy. Tom Baker along with Kevin Ward and Sara Wolfson responded to a memo from the committee about data collection for the annual audit. To assure the committee that there was no discrimination against the women's basketball team, Christine Grant was invited to speak to the committee. Vice President Ann Rhodes and Dean Jones provided the committee with written information about the use of Carver-Hawkeye Arena and the scheduling of the women's basketball game for this meeting as well. 

For several years, committee members had felt confused about the criteria for the Philip G. Hubbard Human Rights Award. Mark Schantz, on behalf of the committee, sought clarification from former President Boyd under whose administration the award began. After receiving Mr. Boyd's
