Revision: The transgender community faces
restroom issues, harassment and bias violence
Continued from page 1
included gender identity in their
anti-discrimination code. National
ly, five states and 61 cities have
adopted similar protections.
About 45 people attended the
meeting at the Council Chamber in
City Hall. Ten people gave personal
testimonies to either support or op
pose the proposed code change.
Mayor Kitty Piercy attended the
hearing and said after the event, “the
city should provide the same protec
tions for all our citizens.”
Boyd Iverson of Eugene, who op
posed the city code revision, said, “I
do strongly believe in human rights,
and human rights are all inclusive;
but rules should not be passed that
infringe on the rights of others.” He
argued that to allow a small minority
of people to act inconsistently with
the average habits would violate oth
ers, particularly women and children.
Mayor Jim Torrey’s concerns for
privacy in public facilities and the
potential costs of transgender ac
commodations in bathrooms,
showers and locker rooms remained
prevalent for many of the speakers
at Tuesday's hearing.
Bert Vaughn, a Lane Community
College student and member of the
Queer-Strait Alliance, attended the
hearing to support the queer commu
nity. “I think it will pass, but I don’t
support the (public accommodations
practices) amendment,” Vaughn said.
In fact, four of the 10 speakers at
the hearing agreed with previously
voiced concerns regarding the public
accommodations practices amend
ment, which would allow transgen
der people to choose which restroom,
shower or locker room to use.
Besides the restroom and locker
room issues, the commission’s pack
et lists several other problems the
transgender community faces, in
cluding employment, dress codes,
prisons, passports, name changes
and pronouns, bias crimes and vio
lence. Of the approximately 100
transgender people who live in Eu
gene, 60 percent reported being tar
geted for harassment or violence,
while less than one-tenth of 1 percent
have contributed to violent crimes,
according to the packet.
The commission stated that this
was a one-time public hearing. Car
men Urbina, vice chair of the com
mission, said each testimony will be
taken into account and final deci
sions on code revisions and recom
mendations will take place in July. A
city council work session, public
hearing and a final decision will like
ly take place in the fall, Urbina said.

Graduates: Teachers, family and community
members were all honored at the ceremony
Continued from page 1
to introduce and speak personally
about each student. The small-scale
graduation ceremony also allowed
each student's family the opportuni
ty to speak.
“It was very emotional and there
were a lot of tears,” Garcia said.
“Mothers and fathers, grandmothers
and grandfathers, and aunts and un
cles stood up and said how impor
tant it was to see their kids succeed. ”
Children and family members look
up to these graduates because they
show that success is an option, Gar
cia said, “and not just a high-school
diploma or undergraduate degree,
but a masters.”
The commencement allowed the
Sapsik'wala graduates to celebrate
in their own “appropriate place and
way.” During the ceremony, the stu
dents showed a Powerpoint presen
tation with photographs of the Na
tive American students during
various community projects and
COE rallies.
A large portion of the ceremony
was spent honoring those who
helped the students achieve their suc
cess. Besides the graduates' parents,
two advisory retirees were honored
as well as several community and
program staff members. The students
surprised the master of ceremonies
by changing the schedule of the
event and having each student speak
about the contributions that Garcia
made to their experience at the Uni
versity. The honorees, as well as the
graduates, were given traditional
Pendleton blankets.
“It was an incredible community
event to see the success of these stu
dents,” said Johnny Lake, Ph.D. stu
dent and GTF in Institute for Leader
ship and Diversity in Education. The
highlight of the ceremony seemed to
be the role of the teachers in the suc
cess of the students, “who are other
wise unsupported and underrepre
sented,” Lake said.
“We all felt honored to bring our
families and community to the
longhouse together because our fam
ilies and community are the reasons
we came here in the first place and
the reason our degrees have any
meaning at all,” Bear said.
The Native American Initiative,
which was started by former Univer
sity President Myles Brand, funds the
Many Nations Longhouse that
opened in January and the Sap
sik'wala Program that aims to im
prove Native American education.
The goal of the initiative was to make
the University a center for Native
American training and research.
Recent discrimination charges
from the College of Education and al
legations of a lack of diversity at the
University remain topics of concern
for the COE (ODE, May 12).
“It's important that the University
become more diverse and that these
events and communities be seen not
as exceptional to the University,”
Lake said.
