Committee listens to students
By Chester Alien
Emerald Reporter
Last winter, a student didn't fool safe when
sho walked to Knight Library at night
Lights on the stairs between C.orlinger Hall
and Knight Library were broken, and a pole
light was broken in front of the Museum of*
Art. She also thought tho safety tall boxes
were isolated from the nrcsa.
The student filed a complaint with the Stu
dent Senate Grievance Committee und one
month later the lights were repaired The Of
fice of Public Safety was also examining the lo
cation of the emergency call box
About 150 students filod complaints with
the Grievance Committee last year, said Seth
Walker, Grievance f kimmlttoo cnatrporson
"The Grievance Committee exists to make
sure students know thoir rights at tire Universi
ty," Walker said. "The committee is just one
part of a big grievance system here at the Uni
versity, and wo want to help students navigate
through tho system"
Most students seek tho commit toe's help to
strive grading dispules or other problems with
the University, but students' complaints range
from the trivial to the very serious. Walker
said.
"Wo hod a complaint last year from some
one who was upset about the price of coffee on
campus,'* Walker said. "We looked into it and
wc found that there wasn't much we could do
about It."
Walker sold students with serious com
plaints are referred to the proper University or
ganization.
“For example, in a cuse of sexual harass
ment, we help the student contact tho Office of
Student Advocacy.” Walker said. "If the stu
dent Is having problems with an instructor, the
PftcntoOmldNM
Dick Lm (left), a sophomore English major and
Student Senator, explains the grievance table to
Michael Omogrosao, e Iunlor majoring in jour
nalism.
Student Senate representative from the stu
dent's school meets with the student nnd trios
to sort things out with the instructor,”
Marlene Droschor, director of the Office of
Student Advocacy, said the Grievance Com
mittee provides a valuable service for students.
"The Student Senate Grievance table gives
students a point of entry to the grievance pro
cess.” Droschor said. "Many students have le
gitimate grievances that unfortunately go unre
ported on this campus.”
Walker said being on the Grievance Commit
toe can lie a difficult job.
“Some of the more outrageous stuff like sex
ual harassment really makes you think." Walk
ur said. ”Wo try to bo as professional as we
can, but anyone with any heart just can’t leave
it at the Student Senate oflice.”
The Student Senate grievance table is open
on Wednesday* from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
near the Fountain Gourt Cafe in the EMU.
DEBATE
Continued from Page 1A
"Wn celebrate Martin Luther
King Day Does that moan wo re
promoting being African or are
wn recognizing diversity?" she
asked
Miller said she believes the
passage of the measure would
mean her children's teachers
could make judgment calls
about her family- Miller, a les
bian, and her partner am rais
ing throe children
"This measure will require
teachers to teach my children
that our family is abnormal,
wrong or perverse." she said.
"There is nothing wrong with
our family."
Lively said Measure D's in
tent is to let voters decide
whether homosexuality is right
or not, instead of allowing spe
cial Interest groups to push gay
rights laws through.
Rv putting the measure to
voters, the (X1A is saying ho
mosexuality is Oregon's biggest
problem, which is an "insult to
our intelligence,” Miller said.
Instead, Oregonians need to fo
cus on real problems like
homelessness, child abuse and
hunger, she said.
"We can never solve the real
problems if we're divided," she
said.
The idea of loving your
neighbor is a good one, Lively
said, but people must cure
about their neighbor's behavior.
"But isn't the bigamist our
neighbor, too," he asked, "or
the dead boat dad? You love
the person, but reserve judg
ment about their behavior.”
