Weinhold wants to focus on the lives of the reader-, and to run stories that deal with lieing ga\ or lesbian in ()n*gon One of the great tragedies. Weinhold said, is that the gay and lesbian cominunily in Oregon has allowed political groups to fort« them to take their focus awav front their real concerns The gay and lesbian commu nity has not spent enough time talking about the other issues that involve them "The OCA will pass, hut we have to fa* here and deal with our lives in Oregon,” she said.

A committee, which former University President Myles Brand started two years ago to form a policy, presented the first proposal to the administration at the end of this summer. The pol icy states that professor-student consensual relationships are conflicts of interest and are "strongly dis< ouraged " Ken l-ehrman, the head of the committee and the director for the Office of Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity, said he believes the University should implement a policy to protect both students and professors and/or supervisors. “Forexample, if a student gets involved with her professor and then wants out of the relation ship in the middle of the term, she may feel fearful that he could retaliate by giving her a bad grade." Lehrtnan said “With a policy, we're saving let's see if we can manage this before a problem occurs." The proposal requires that a professor or supervisor who is intimately involved with his or her student or employee must report the relationship to the department head.'and must act immediately to remove the con flict of interest. The supervisor must then arrange for the stu dent's class work to be evaluat ed by a third party. In the proposal, conflict of interest is defined as "incompat ibiiity of the interest of the Uni versity in securing detached, objective performance of instructional or supervisory evaluative duties and the per sonal interest of the instructor or supervisor involved in a sexual relationship with a person he/she supervises.” The proposal states that in the event of a sexual harassment claim filed against the instructor or supervisor, those who fail to report relationships will be sanctioned This could include anything from a letter of repri mand in the individual's per sonnel file to, in very extreme i ases, the University moving to remove the individual from his or her position In addition, the person in tin* “status or power advantage" will have the burden of providing evident e that the relationship was consensual, if a sexual harassment claim is filed against tin* professor or supervisor. After reviewing the policy proposal. University President Dave Frohnmayer re< ently asked the committee to create a s*« ond proposal, this one minus the reporting component i.ehrmari said the second pro posed policy will base ally state that student-professor dating is a i onflict of interest and one that is potentially sanctionahie l.ehrman said Frohnmayer is not necessarily opposed to the first proposal, but be does want a second option to consider l.ehrman said Frohnmayer will receive the set ond proposal after l.ehrman i ircuiates it to certain professors committee members and administrative officials this week for their com ments.
