But Lowenstein said the commission is functioning fine without its usual staff. "(The commission) doesn't really need a staff because citizen issues are handled within the Human Resources Depart- ment now," Lowenstein said, referring to a separate office in the city government. "If the commission wanted to, it's very easy to set up a hotline or e-mail where people can send in complaints. The commission members have been so devoted to simply talking, they haven't been thinking about doing anything." Hieftje said the commission often goes months without receiving any citizen complaints. Previously though, the com- mission has initiated such projects as the Ann Arbor racial profiling study conduct- ed last year. Fox has also said a lack of new appoin- tees to the commission suggests the mayor might be trying to phase out the commis- sion. Fox said currently the commission only has five members. "We had strong evidence that the mayor was intentionally letting the Human Rights Commission die by not appointing new members. We didn't know specifi- cally why he was doing this, but we could only conclude that some of the things we had brought to his attention and the atten- tion of the council were difficult issues that they didn't agree with," Fox said. "Basically, she's wrong," Hieftje said. "The city has nearly 60 boards and com- missions, and it's a chore to stay up on reappointing people to those commis- sions. I put forward two more names last Monday night and I'll be putting forward another name next Monday night. It's pretty silly to say that there was any effort to let the commission go away." Fox said the commission is not working on projects due to its lack of members. "Right now, we are so stymied by our lack of members and our lack of staff that we are not involved in ways that we should be," Fox said. CASE Continued from page 1 ment. We're appealing the case because we took immediate action to stop it. The University takes sexual harassment very seriously and we responded in a way that the law requires." Massie, however, said University offi- cials didn't take serious action against Calabria until they heard that Johnson's mother was considering litigation - only then did they buy out his contract, she said. "Calabria was given a year's paid vaca- tion and Marueen (Johnson) was driven out of the University of Michigan's graduate program. If that's an adequate response to a sexual harassment complaint, the law's protections mean nothing," Massie said. Massie claims the University made it impossible for Johnson to continue study- ing in the music program because it kept Calabria as a professor for the winter 1998 semester and refused to allow Johnson to switch into a different orchestra. But Peterson said the University gave Johnson "every opportunity to continue in the program" and let her drop out of Calabria's orchestra without penalty. A Washtenaw County jury originally gave the verdict against the University in April 2002. In October 2002, the Uni- versity asked the judge to overturn the verdict. When Washtenaw County Cir-' cuit Court Judge Melinda Morris upheld the verdict - and increased attorney fees to encourage lawyers to take sexual harassment cases filed by students - the University appealed the case.
