Two years ago, Michigan became the 10th state to ban discrimination based on sexual orientation. Gov. Jennifer Granholm signed Executive Directive 2003-24 for nearly 55,000 state employees in Michigan's exec- utive branch: This represents 95 percent of all state employees. This directive, however, is easily evaded. A company can cite any reason for firing an employee, or simply not tell him why, as in the case of Porter's friend. "My friend Thomas worked at Mandalay Bay, but when his employers found out that he was gay and HIV positive, they fired him, but refused to tell him why," Porter said. "Most cases that I have dealt. with were because the individual was transgendered. I have talked to many people who are concerned with being out to their employer dur- ing the interview and some who feel they may have been discriminated against because of their sexuality," MSF Continued from page1A the role MSF plays in intervention and relief. Speakers will also take a critical look at the consequences of such intervention. Fabrice Weissman, an MSF mem- ber stationed in Paris who will be speaking on armed interventions and humanitarian projects, com- mented on the crisis in Sudan. "We have a huge operation in Sudan right now, the biggest MSF has ever run in its history. We are taking care of about 700,000 dis- placed persons," he said. While MSF has provided care to thousands of refugees, the medi- cal intervention in the crisis has encountered various political and logistical problems due to lack of resources and MSF's policy of treating patients on both sides of the conflict. "The role of MSF in such crises is to provide vital assistance to the population affected by the violence. It's not to get involved in peace building and conflict resolution. It's a very limited role, to save people who are facing desperation due to a lack of elements necessary to sur- vive," he said. According to MSF policy, the NGO strives to remain independent of any religious or political affili- ation, both in the field and in the international community, taking almost all of its funding from pri- vate donations. "Currently we are financed up to 85 percent by private funds which means that we can act without being influenced by the institutional donors, such as the European Union and various state members," said Weissman. But this independence is often precarious, as the organization must negotiate with militant groups to gain access 'to populations in need of emergency assistance. Emmanuel Drouhin of MSF- France will speak on this topic today, discussing the difficulties in obtaining access to a needy popu- lation while still maintaining the political independence of MSF. Drouhin discussed a situation in Southern Sudan in 1998 where a different NGO had negotiated the delivery of supplies to a needy population with the militant group controlling the area, agreeing to distribute the food first to women, children and the elderly. When we (MSF) arrived, he said, we found "most of the food was diverted to the soldiers." In situations such as these, Weissman said, MSF plays a role to publicize the circumstances they CAMP COUNSELORS - Gain valuable exp. while having the summer of a lifetime.

English Prof. David Halperin, who teaches a class on homosexu- ality, said the University has been understanding of the needs of the LGBT community and maintains fair policies in the hiring of its workers. Among these is the Univer- sity's continued offering of benefits to employees in same-sex relation- ships. "I don't consider that I have suf- fered personally from discrimina- tion at the University of Michigan or since coming to Ann Arbor. There have been attempts to interfere with my professional activities, such as my teaching (in the case of a course called "How to be Gay"), but those have come from outside the Univer- sity itself," Halperin said. But he hopes that other compa- nies follow in the same footsteps as the University. "Any time someone is refused a job for reasons extrinsic to their ability to perform, it an injustice has been done. Do we want to live in an egalitar- ian society in which distinctions are based on merit, or do we want only to pay lip service to that ideal and then ignore it when it proves to be inconvenient in some way?" Hal- perin said. encounter, not necessarily to pro- pose a solution, but to introduce the problem to the international agenda. He again cited the Sudan crisis, saying that before the last couple years, the international community was mainly concerned with the civil war between the north and the south, and was ignorant to the tragedies taking place in the west, in Darfur. "There was absolutely no media attention on Sudan ... nobody was really concerned with what was going on in the west, where the war had claimed the lives of tens of thousands of people. At least a half million people were displaced. At this time, Darfur was not a part of the political debate," he said. Because of MSF efforts in Sudan to bring relief to victims of the civil war, MSF was able to offer first hand testimony about the situation in Darfur, and met with the UN and the international media to bring attention to the massacres taking place there. "Our role is to inform the interna- tional community of the situation," Weissman said. While today's lectures begin at 9 a.m. in the League, and continue throughout the day, the conference opened last night with a screening of the MSF documentary, "These Patents Make Me Sick! AIDS in Africa." The screening was attended by over 100 students and University faculty, and afterwards featured a discussion on what Ticktin called a "non-traditional" function of MSF - the treatment of AIDS in Africa and the problems caused by inter- national patent laws which severely limit the availability of new, highly effective AIDS medications. In a discussion following the screening, Weissman and a panel of MSF members answered questions about AIDS treatment and the regu- lation of generic AIDS drugs. "There are 4,000 patients and we cannot afford much more," said Weissman, commenting on the high cost of brand-name drugs. "On'all of the missions, we have to decide how we will choose the patients to put on the treatment. That is a very difficult question ... We don't have answers right now." Panel members covered various angles of the issue, addressing such topics as distribution of second and third line treatments after patients develop resistance to the first treat- ment drugs, treating refugee patients and ensuring compliance with treatment plans and governmental cooperation with AIDS treatment programs. t BABYSITTER old desired. 734-761-9962.
