Coed charges sorority discrimination
by Linda Larson
A University of
Nebraska-Lincoln sorority has
been charged with racial
discrimination, according to
Paul A. Olson, chairman of the
Faculty Senate Human Rights
Committee.
Olson has asked University
lawyers to investigate the
charge, which was initiated by
a UNL co-ed.
Olson declined to give the
name of the sorority which will
be charged, pending further
developments in the case.
"I personally am tired of
seeing the Regents take an
equivocal stand on racism," he
said.
Olson said he felt that
faculty and students engaging,
in constructive criticism of the
policy or trying to combat
racism "can only incur the
hatred of the Resents."
Under the Federal Equal
Opportunity Law, the
government can intervene
anytime to cut off federal
funds to institutions in
violation of the law, according
to Olson. He said the hiring
practices and racist policies of
UNL could be in jeopardy, as
federal funds have been cut off
for collaborating with groups
practicing racism in the past.
The University of Alabama
was ordered to hire minority
people, he said. In Michigan
federal funds were cut off to a
university for discrimination
against women and minorities,
Olson added.
"It is not clear how
effective the Regents' present
policy is," he said. "I see it as a
power-struggle between three
positions."
Under the Regents policy
sororities and fraternities are
now asked to sign a statement
saying they won't discriminate,
he said. But no monitoring is
done, Olson added.
This position has no
safe-guards and is an "open
invitation to racists to continue
racism," Olson said.
The Council on Student
Life has taken the position that
some effort should be made to
monitor the activities of
fraternities and sororities.
Regent Robert Prokop has
proposed to take sororities and
fraternities out of CSL's
discrimination, according to
Olson. Prokop is serving as
spokesman for fraternity and
sorority alumni in asking that
monitoring of activities be
placed in the hands of the
organizations themselves, he
said.
"It's not clear if the internal
governing boards of these
organizations supported this
proposal," Olson said.
