July 17, 2013 Item 5 Essay Contest Question Re: Background to Agenda Item # 5 on Student Essay Contest Questions for HRC Meeting on July 17, 2013 Late last month I wrote the Youth Engagement Committee to determine whether they wished once again to recommend to the League of Minnesota Human Rights Commissions (LMHRC) a question or questions for the 2014 Contest.

I recall you had a thorough list of possible questions last year, so that would provide a good starting point if you want to do this again. The decision, however, is yours; I just need to know if you want to do this again, and before the 10th of July. For your convenience I have attached your list from last year. I also remember that Kaying thought the League picked one of your weaker questions. Gary G 645-6161 Marie Siliciano responded with the following recommendation: From: Marie Siliciano [mailto:mariesiliciano@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, June 30, 2013 9:21 PM To: Gary Grefenberg Subject: Re: Do You Want to Recommend a question or Questions for Student Essay Contest This Year? Hey Gary, I think we could send them the rest of the list again. I still like a lot of those questions. Marie Those essay questions from last year are on the following page. Recommendation: In order to avoid an August Commission meeting I would recommend that the Commission decide at its July 17�" meeting whether to submit to the League the remaining four (4) questions as recommended by Marie Siliciano (above). The Commission may choose to rank them or to only recommend one. Agenda Item #5 on Recommendation to LMHRC on 2014 Essay Questions
