Equality committee to probe prejudice By Jane Owens A two-step process for investigating discrimination complaints at UNL is "organized and ready to use," after more than three years of study and discussion, according to Allan Dittmer, chairman of the Committee on Equality. After approving a Council on Student Life (CSL) proposal passed last January to establish a Committee on Equality and a Judicial Board on Equality, UNL Chancellor James Zumberge in September named members to the two groups. Since then, the committee has been having organizational meetings, Dittmer said, and now is "ready to go to work." The Committee on Equality, established to prevent discrimination by race, creed, or sex, can investigate charges of "limitation or access to participation in education, social, cultural or other activities of the University," according to the CSL proposal. Discrimination also is prohibited in housing "supplied or regulated by the University for students and staff, including fraternities and sororities, "unless based on distinctions between the sexes," the proposal states. The committee also can investigate discrimination in off-campus UNL-sponsored activities. Members of the UNL community who have discrimination complaints should write Ronald Gierhan, Office of Student Affairs, Administration Bldg. 207 or call him at 472-3260, according to Dittmer. The Committee on Equality then will investigate the complaint, he added. The Judicial Board on Equality can receive appeals from the committee and recommend policy changes. All actions then will be forwarded to the chancellor, the proposal states. Two faculty members, two administrators and three students will serve on the board. The establishment of a Committee on Equality and a Judicial Board on Equality initially was recommended in a 1970 Report on Racial Discrimination, prepared by John Robinson, former CSL chairman and former chairman of the UNL English department A 1971 CSL proposal, based on the Robinson report, called for the establishment of the two bodies.
