STATE
HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION DIRECTOR QUITS
According to a report in this week's
issue of the Black Chronicle
- www.blackchronicle.com/Chronicle/Front_Page/Article_1/article_1.htm - Oklahoma
state Human Rights Commission executive director Gracie
Monson resigned on Mar 9 in the face of charges by Gov
Keating that she overpayed herself. The Oklahoma State
Bureau of Investigations is currently conducting an
investigation into the allegation, and Keating has
ordered an audit of all state agency directors to see if
there are any more cases of this practice in state
government.
Monson and the state Human Rights Commission have been
under fire from local GLBT and GLBT-friendly activists
lately over an incident which occurred at the
Commission's last annual awards banquet. The Commission
bestowed an award on Lucent Technologies for it's policy
of supporting diversity among it's employees. The award
named the various employee groups at Lucent which
represent various ethnicities, with the sole exception of
EQUAL! at Lucent, the GLBT group. When Lucent
representatives approached Monson to inquire about the
omission, they were informed that it was deliberate,
"because that kind of behavior is against state law
and the Human Rights Commission is not required to
recognize it". Upon learning of this, Lucent
Technologies made the decision to return the award, and
other past recipients of Human Rights Commission awards -
Oklahoma Peace House director Nathaniel Batchelder and Oklahoma
Observer editor and publisher
Frosty Troy - have subsequently declared that they are
returning
their awards.
According to the Chronicle,
Ken Kendricks has been named interim executive director
of the Commission, and a search committee has been named
to find a permanent replacement.
