NEWS The Michigan Daily - Monday, December 5, 2005 - 7A DPS Continued from page 1A students could be feeding negative perceptions of the Uni- versity's police force. Some black students agreed with Brown. "Communication in general is the problem or the cause of tension between the black community and DPS," Martin of NPHC said "I think a lot of people feel the same way. We don't have a problem with DPS being at the event for secu- rity, but many (students) don't understand DPS's practices, such as (videotaping)." Laban King, a member of the Black Student Union, said the meeting was an important step in improving relations between DPS and students. "People need to personally know their rights and how to respond to situations with the police," King said. "They need to be knowledgeable of how to use the University if they do have a complaint. It is the job of the University to inform students and the responsibility of students to gain and use that knowledge." But Anderson said the meeting between students, DPS and administrators was not productive as a whole because DPS did not wish to change its security protocols. "They were giving a rationale for what happened," Anderson said. "It was explanatory, but not really dealing with attempts to change it." Alex Moffett, a NAACP vice president, also had a the michigan daily negative reaction to DPS protocols. Moffett said policies needlessly come at the cost of promoting a positive cam- pus climate. "The University has racial climate issues, as we have seen through hate crimes and racial slurs," Moffett said. "Some- thing needs to be done to improve the climate for all stu- dents." The meeting also involved discussion over DPS's crime alerts, which many students perceive as racially biased and perpetuate stereotypes. For crimes believed to be a threat to public safety, DPS is required by law to issue an alert with as much description as quickly as possible, Brown said, adding that DPS is depen- dent on victim and witness descriptions. "One challenge is that most crime on our campus appears to be perpetrated by people of college age, dressed similarly to college students," Brown said. "They are pret- ty clean-cut looking individuals. They aren't missing teeth and they don't have a patch over their eye or a huge scar on their face, which are distinguishing characteristics. So we do the best we can." In the early 1990s, the Michigan Legislature required that DPS establish the Police Oversight Committee to investigate allegations of officer misconduct and provide recommendations concerning disciplinary action. Recog- nizing the concerns of communities of color toward DPS after the Icebreaker, LSA junior Timothy Wiggins - a student representative appointed to the Police Oversight Committee through the Michigan Student Assembly - contacted DPS director Bill Bess to discuss DPS's crime alerts. After meeting with members of the committee in early October, Bess agreed to consult one of two student represen- tatives from the committee before issuing future crime alerts to ensure the language of the alert does not single out a par- ticular group of people, Wiggins said. If consulted, Wiggins - as one of the representatives - can recommend changes to the language of the alert to make it more detailed. "In the past, a lot of the crime alerts were singling out races," Wiggins said. "Using this as a measure to counter that helps dramatically." Since the meeting, DPS has sought input from the com- mittee for one crime alert, Wiggins said. He declined to give details on the specific crime alert. Brown said the decision to consult a committee representative is not a rule or guarantee. Instead, it is determined on a case-by-case basis. DPS has, however, revised the crime alert description to say that suspect descriptions are based upon witness and victim testi- mony, she said. While discussion over students' climate concerns contin- ues between DPS and members of the black community, the Ann Arbor Police Department will also speak at a NAACP meeting this week to provide information on how the AAPD deals with suspects and criminal activity in the areas off- campus. BHOPAL Continued from page 1A porters claim that Dow inherited UCC's liabilities along with its assets. Dow denies any past or current responsibility for cleaning up the disaster. In a statement released by the Midland-based company, it explained that UCC and the Indian government reached a court settlement in 1989 for $470 million, which was put into a trust fund that still remains today. "There is still responsibility that has not been taken," Col- lins said. "Union Carbide just picked up and left. (The chemi- cals are) all still there." Students for Bhopal wants Dow to clean up the toxins, face a trial, provide long-term health care and provide economic support for the victims. The survivors of Bhopal remain ill today. Some of their health problems include cancer, birth defects and tuberculosis, as well as gynecological, neurological and respiratory prob- lems. The Indian Supreme Court closed the case, and all legal pro- ceedings ended in 1991. "When UCC became a subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company in February 2001, the civil litigation in India had been resolved for a decade," the Dow statement said. The company claims all liability to Bhopal has been settled. But Mathias, who played the part of a surviving victim, still pins blame on the Michigan chemical company. "Dow claims moral culpability, but not legal culpability," he said. * Minutes from U of M, downtown, and major freeways * 1-2-3 bedroom apartment homes (with 1-3 bathrooms!) * Unique, Spacious floor plans with vaulted ceilings and wood-burning fireplaces * Heated Pool, hot tub, dry sauna, tennis court, 24/7 fitness center, in home washer/dryer * On the bus route * Free Parking Open M-F 9am - 6pm Sat lDam - 4pm Apartments starting at $945 Check us out on the web at www.habitat.com EFFICIENCIES, ONE, TWO and three bed- RENT ME I'M A GREAT House! room apartments located on the UM Campus.
