Human Rights Commission Minutes December 10, 1985 Page 2 F. Zielske discussed possible agendas for future ~ meetings. He suggested Gary Gorman of the State Department of Human Rights could come to talk about the no-fault grievance training. He also suggested we could have a working meeting to develop pUblic service announcements regarding the Human Rights Commission. It was suggested the Commission take a look at the Bloomington Commission's public service announcements first, to see if we can use them. Zielske also suggested the Commission may wish to invite a speaker to talk about AIDS, and the potential discrimination of AIDS victims. It was suggested that the State Commissioner of Human Rights be asked about the State's position on AIDS discrimination at the January meeting. G. Zielske indicated he attended Human Rights Day, and heard three excellent speakers. The theme of the conference was Affirmative Action Makes Good Business Sense. Another part of the conference included a workshop on legislative concerns such as handicapped access, a rise in crimes against the disabled and the elderly, and the accountability of group homes. H. Zielske reiterated a suggestion that church news- ( letters be used to provide public education regarding the no-fault grievance process. I. Zielske suggested the February meeting could be used to discuss the format of the Human Rights Brochure, and that the March meeting be used to elect a new chairperson, since Zielske will be going off the Commission in April.
