dinate schedules,” she said. “It’s
hard when you have to put your
spouses’s needs before your
own.”
The presence of a family can
also sway aspects that people look
for in a company.
“Flexibility to family issues is a
criteria for any job I have,” Mandi
said. “If a job is not flexible for my
husband and my son, I will not
work there.”
A shift in career paths may be
in the future for those who are
spouses as well as students.
Mandi said that getting married
switched both her and Jeffs ca
reer goals. While their aspira
tions were vague earlier in their
relationship, Mandi now plans
to go on to graduate school and

Some students on campus feel
the faculty is in great need of help
ir dealing with minority issues.
“People need to realize that
even if they think they are being
sensitive, there are layers to the is
sue of diversity,” said Missy
Rock, environmental studies ma
jor.
Rock said no set system of what
would constitute a diversity train
ing program has been proposed,
but she said she wanted to see an
increase in dialogue on the possi
bility of establishing such a pro
gram.
ASUO Vice President Mitra
Anoushiravani said she felt that
establishing diversity training on
a departmental level would be the
most effective way of implement
ing the program, a belief ex
pressed by several professors at
the forum.
“Diversity training should hap
pen on the departmental level be
cause in every department you
have a different curriculum and
different groups of people,” she
said.
Jessica Billingslea, political sci
ence major, took a different per
spective. Billingslea said that
while she supports diversity
training at the departmental lev
el, more needs to be done to in
crease sensitivity of University
faculty and students about diver
sity issues.
“People need to know that
some things they say are offen
sive,” she said. “Little comments
that don’t mean anything to them
mean something to me.”
The issue of sensitivity toward
minorities is an important one for
the University to consider, said
University President Dave Frohn
mayer.
“It’s disturbing to see the num
ber of students on campus that are
being subject to acts of hostility,”
he said.
Whether the University
would establish a mandatory di
versity training system was nev
er established, but the issue
sparked dialogue among faculty
members.
Finance professor Ali Emami
said that while he believes sensi
tivity to diversity issues is impor
tant, he doesn’t believe that it has
a place at the University.
“It is something that needs to be
taught in families,” he said. “This
is society’s job.”
For sociology professor
Jiannbin Shiao, there are other
problems that arose from the
meeting. Shiao said the biggest
problem was that the meeting
failed to attract many members
of the faculty who are oppo
nents of diversity training pro
grams.
“This meeting was preaching to
the choir,” he said.

“I was going for a performance
career in directing theater, but I
have changed my goals,” Jeff said.
One setback that couples may
encounter during their job search
is the possibility of marriage poli
cies within companies.
“Our policy is that two people
who are married cannot work for
our company if one is under the
supervision of the other,” said
Julie Haas, human resource man
ager for Telecomm Services, lo
cated in the Oakway Center.
The main question may be
whether a married status is a good
thing in terms of the business
world.
“I feel that if we were younger
like 18 or 19, being married
would be a disadvantage for us in
looking for a job,” Mandi said.
“But, since we’re older and have
more work experience, I think it’s
a benefit.”
