It was voted that we recommend to the City Council three ex officio member-
ships to the commission; one student from each of the three high schools
to serve for one year each and to be replaced each year by nomination of
the principal of each school to the City Council.
A protest from Mr. William J. Miles was read by Dr. Preble regarding alleged
discrimination concerning refusal of his employment because he wears a
beard. It was pointed out by Mr. Miles that though employees are not
permitted beards in the hospital, medical doctors do wear them. The
charge is double standard.
Following discussion, it was voted to ask the chairman to write Mr. Miles to
the effect that while employees of the hospital are under the direction
of the hospital, medical doctors are not and appearance codes cannot be
enforced for them by the hospital board. The chairman was also asked to
bring to the attention of Mr. Miles a similar case involving the wearing
of beards in the veterinary school at CSU where professors are permitted
to wear them. The case is now before the states Attorney General for
study.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:45 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
James William Baird, Chairman
