Dear President Boyd:

At the beginning of the fall academic term the Human Rights Committee started, as directed by your letter of June 14, 1978, a review of the University's Human Rights policy.

The Committee interpreted your request to include review of the total policy. A subcommittee has been dealing with the complex issues.

The Committee has concluded it's work on the total policy and transmits herewith a copy for your perusal. The review of such an artfully prepared statement was challenging. However with the passage of time, new social concerns have crept into the philosophy of human rights and the dignity of the person. Hopefully this principle has been captured in this statement.

Your more specific request is being studied and within the forseeable future a statement will be submitted to you for your consideration.

Respectfully submitted,

[actual signature]
M. Colleen Jones, Chairperson
Human Rights Committee
