Though the process is neither
easy nor quick, increased efforts
have been made across campus, he
said. Frohnmayer mentioned sig
nificant advancements in the form
of hiring new staff to deal with is
sues of diversity in the Teaching
Effectiveness Program and the Of
fice of Multicultural Affairs. Mon
etary solutions — including $1
million in student scholarships
and $500,000 in the recruitment
and retention of faculty of color —
are also being implemented to en
hance and support diversity, along
with faculty orientations and de
partment meetings.
“Diversity is not something you
can achieve overnight,” Frohn
mayer said. “It is not measured by
program count or head count. It is
a long, slow process energized by
the commitment of many teachers,
students and staff members.”
New faculty members seemed
for the most part to appreciate the
focus on diversity issues.
“It is an important subject that
everyone needs to know about,”
said religious studies professor Ju

by the efforts Frohnmayer made.
“I got a good feeling about the

sincerity,” he said. “I am opti
mistic about their efforts to in

the University and DPS, filed by
former DPS dispatcher Pauline
Conaway, was dismissed last
week. Conaway alleged charges of
harassment and age and disability

Conaway received an out-of

DPS employees who has quit or
been reassigned to other Universi
ty departments since summer.
Many of those former employees
claim that Martinez was hired ille
gally and discriminated against
other employees.
Martinez said that, along with
her leave, she would not discuss
harassment or discrimination.Last
winter, DPS posted an “intent to
promote” Martinez to a lieutenant
position, a hiring process that al
lows other officers to apply also.
Linda King, director of Human Re
sources at the University, said the
“intent to promote” method is le
gal as long as a notice is posted.
“This is not uncommon if there
is a strong internal candidate,”
King said.
But Kim Maynard, who left DPS
about a month ago, said he and an
other officer who quit during the
summer, Terry Gaeta, were not tak
en seriously when they inter
viewed with Fitzpatrick.
“We challenged the decision
and went in for interviews, and the
interviews were a total sham,”
Maynard said.
Dotti Clegg, who quit DPS al
most two months ago, filed a mar
ital discrimination grievance
against Fitzpatrick and Martinez
last April, although the grievance
was dismissed by Barbara West,
special counsel to University Pres
ident Dave Frohnmayer.
West was out of her office
Wednesday and unavailable for
comment. University General
Counsel Melinda Grier said the
reasons for the dismissal of Clegg’s
grievance are confidential.
Clegg and her husband, Doug,
started a relationship while both of
them were working in the depart
ment. Once they announced their
relationship, Martinez sent Dotti
Clegg a memo directing one of
them to work the graveyard shift,
although Clegg claimed she never
saw a DPS rule stating couples
couldn’t work the same shift.
Fitzpatrick said the rule doesn’t
exist in writing but is an estab
lished DPS policy that will be on
the books in the near future. He
said they were allowed to choose
who moved shifts.
Most importantly, Fitzpatrick
said, Doug Clegg was Dotti Clegg’s
superior in DPS at the time, which
would have created a conflict.
“With a strong relationship you
might act otherwise — rightly or
wrongly — and be inclined to act
differently than if there was anoth
er officer there,” Fitzpatrick said.
