Anita Hill
arguments
continue in
Oklahoma
NORMAN. Oklu (AP) — After
a year-long sabbatical. Anita Hill
cannot expect the debate to have
subsided when she returns to
the classroom for the fall semes
ter at the University of Okla
homa law school
A year and a half after her
Senate testimony against
Supreme Court nominee
Clarence Thomas, a new book
titled The Heal Anita Hill: The
Untold Story has renewed the
controversy that made her a
national symbol in the debate
over sexual harassment.
And to stoke the fires. Hill's
first public writings on her
appearance before the Senate
Juaiciary Committee are due out
in spring 1995 in a collection of
essays tentatively titled Pace.
Gender and Power in America
Hill returns to teaching in
August. While she's been away,
conservative state legislators led
by Sen. Leonard Sullivan, an
Oklahoma City Republican,
have been clamoring for Hill's
dismissal
The Peal Anita Hill, by Wash
ington Times editorial writer
David Brook, "is revealing to the
entire world the type of person
she is and the type of testimony
she gave." Sullivan said "I'd
just like to see her disappear,
and go away. Not cause us any
more embarrassment."
The book, based on govern
ment records and interviews
with Hill colleagues, purports to
show that she lied throughout
her October 1991 testimony on
her allegations that Thomas sex
ually harassed her. Thomas
forcefully denied the allegations
and was narrowly confirmed by
the Senate.
Saturday, in a rare public
appearance in Georgia. Thomas
(ailed for more public tolerance
of diverse political views -
including his own. The conserv
ative black jurist did not discuss
Hill's allegations or his confir
mation hearings
"The book came out to fan the
flame of additional press cover
age." said E. Melvin Hall, a uni
versity regent and friend of
Hill's "I think a lot of people
want it to be bigger than it is.
But it's a non-issue."
'Sullivan fought Hill's sabbat
ical and is marshnling opposi
tion to a nationwide fund-rais
ing drive to endow a chair in her
name for the study of gender
based issues.
He now wants a special prose
cutor appointed to investigate
the charges in Brock's book. "I
don't think we can let it go by
untouched." he said.
While on sabbatical. Hill has
organized a conference at
Georgetown University on sexu
al harassment and has lieen edit
ing a collection of essays with
Georgetown law Professor
Emma Jordan.
