City may
*boycott
anti-gay
states
by Christine Young
Daily City Reporter
The City Council Monday tabled
a proposed resolution that would
prohibit the city from doing business
with states that have laws discrimi-
nating on the basis of sexual
orientation.
The resolution, proposed by
Councilmember Robert Eckstein (D-
5th Ward), states that Mayor Brater
would direct City Administrator
Alfred Gatta and City Attorney
Elizabeth Schwartz to prepare a list
of states and municipalities that
have laws, charter amendments or
ordinances that limit the civil rights
of citizens based on their sexual
orientation.
The resolution was made in re-
sponse to the recent passage of an
amendment in Colorado prohibiting
laws and ordinances that protect the
civil rights of individuals based on
their sexual orientation.
Under the resolution, the mayor
and council would not permit the
expenditure of funds for travel to
and from any state or municipality
appearing on the list. Additionally,
the city would prohibit business con-
tracts with vendors, suppliers, con-
sultants and sub-contractors on the
list.
"The thing that bothers me more
then anything is that people cannot
claim that they have been discrimi-
nated against based on their sexual
orientation," Eckstein said.
"This will not improve the run-
ning~ of Ann Arbor but it will send a
message to other states and cities
who are considering similar legisla-
tion," he added.
Councilmember Larry Hunter
(D-1st Ward) argued that developing
a list of states and municipalities
with legislation that discriminates
.against an individual's sexual
orientation would be an arduous
'task.
Eckstein responded by stating
that the federal government already
has a list that is being sent to the
:City Administrator. He stated that
this list would provide the council
with valuable information, making
their task easier.
Councilmnber Kurt Zimmer
;(D- 4th Ward) compared the resolu-
tion with the boycotts made on
South Africa by the United States.
"This is a parallel situation with
South Africa. It is important that we
take a stand. If that means dropping
financial analysts and the New
Yorker, then I'm all for it," Zimmer
said.
Peter Nicolas (D-4th Ward)
stated that the resolution should be
more broad-based pertaining to indi-
vidual businesses.
"Colorado certainly has busi-
nesses and industries that discrimi-
pate against individuals based on
their sexual orientation but the state
also has businesses that do not dis-
criminate. That is why I support

boycotting individual businesses as
9pposed to the entire state," Nicolas
said.
Councilmnember Peter Fink (R-
2nd Ward) said the resolution was
iot a local issue. He emphasized that
councilmembers should "think
twice" before putting forward their
personal beliefs.
The council tabled the resolution
and will continue discussion next
week in a working session.

The University Board of Regents
agreed to discuss new means of
compensation in response faculty
grievances over salary freezes.
Ejner Jensen, Chair of the Senate
Advisory Committee on University
Affairs (SACUA), and John
Tropman, Chair of the Committee on
the Economic Status of the Faculty
(CESF) spoke to the regents at its
December meeting.
Tropman presented an Invitation
to a Conversation about
Compensation from CESF - a
group responsible for representing
faculty compensation needs And
concerns.
The proposal suggested "that we
jointly - Regents, Executive
Officers, and Faculty - look at the
whole issue of compensation for
faculty and others at the (University)
and begin to explore ways to make
our compensation system more
imaginative, more focused, and more
relevant to the needs of all
concerned."
Tropman added that this is the
first year the University has lacked a
program of salary increments and he
said faculty and staff would like the
University to reinstate funds for a
salary program for 1993-94.
"(Provost and Vice President for
Academic Affairs) Gil Whitaker
calls it a revenue diet but we think of
it as a revenue fast," Tropman said.
"Perhaps it's time for us all to think
about how we should be paid."
Whitaker said he approved of the
proposal..
"We welcome the opportunity to
open up the range of possibilities to
think of coinpensat ion more broadly
than we have in the past," Whitaker
said.
In his report, Jensen briefed the
regents on the activities of SACUA,
a nine-member elected executive
committee of the Senate Assembly,

judicial system created by the
Statement of Student Rights and
Responsibilities and is exploring the
idea of faculty evaluations of
administrators.
Regent Deane Baker (R-Ann
Arbor) expressed some concern
about the proposal.
"I have some reservations about
that and carried to the extreme it will
build a fence between the faculty

cal ends," Baker said.
But Jensen said administrators
should be held to the same stringent
evaluations as faculty.
"I'm acutely aware that there are
dangers in evaluations of any kind,
but I'd be remiss if as a member of
the faculty I didn't say, we get eval-
uated every day, at the end of the
term, when our salaries are decided,
at promotion and tenure time."
