End of A&M Regent’s term
leaves no minorities on Board
AUSTIN (AP) — The term of the only black on the governing boards would leave office as a result of the
all-male Texas A&M Board of Regents has expired, proposed mergers of South Texas schools with the
and aides to Ck>v. Bill Clements say the search for a sue- A&M and University of Texas systems,
cessor and a second regent nominee includes several
minorities and women.
“Certainly we have minorities and women under con
sideration,” James Huffines, director of appointments
for Clements, said.
“But we haven't made those decisions yet. I think
we’ll be making them in about two weeks,” Huffines
said.
The six-year terms of Board Chairman David G. El
ler and Dr. John B. Coleman, both of Houston, expired
Feb. 1. Both were appointed in 1983 bv Democrat Mark
White.
Huffines said Clements' office is aware that eight of
the 11 Hispanics serving on the state’s 15 university
Yes, we're concerned about that, and certainly we
will take that into consideration when making appoint
ments. I would look for more Hispanics to be rep
resented on these other boards,” he said.
The issue of minority representation on university
governing boards flared this month after several state
senators complained about Clements naming three
white men to the UT board, appointments that would
have left a nine-member panel composed entirely of
white males.
During the controversy. Chester Upham Jr. of Min
eral Wells, asked that his name be withdrawn from con
sideration, and Clements nominated Mario Ramirez of
Rio Grande City in his place.

AIDS victim
sues on basis
of partiality
AUSTIN (AP) — A state district
court is scheduled to hear argu
ments Tuesday on whether people
with the AIDS virus have the right to
sue for discrimination under Texas
law.
The case could have an impact on
thousands of people in Texas with
AIDS-related conditions.
The Legislative Task Force on
AIDS concluded last year that dis
crimination against such individuals
is common throughout the state and
is increasing the financial impact of
acquired immune deficiency syn
drome on local, tax-supported
health and human services.
The Austin hearing concerns the
case of Gilbert Nieto, who sued the
law firm of Clark. Thomas, Winters
& Newton in 1988, contending the
firm fired him from his job of two
years as a paralegal after he was di
agnosed with AIDS-related complex
in August 1987.
Barry Bishop, a partner in the
firm, has said Nieto was fired for
the in-
supervi
sor.
Nieto’s lawsuit seeks reinstate
ment to his job. restoration of his
health insurance benefits, back pay,
attorneys’ fees and an unspecified
amount of damages for “severe
mental and physicalanguish."
The case, set for jury trial in Aus
tin on Feb. 27, would determine if
such a dismissal constitutes a viola
tion of the Texas Commission on
Human Rights Act, which bars em
ployers from discrimination based
on disability.
Tuesday’s hearing is on a motion
by the law firm seeking a summary
judgment to dismiss Nieto's suit.
The motion cites a 1987 case.
Chevron vs. Red mon, which nar
rowly interpreted the state act to
provide protection for disabled per
sons only if they are so severely dis
abled they could not work anvway.
“We expect a ruling Tuesday on
whether a person with AIDS or
AIDS-related complex is ’hand
icapped' as that term is defined by
sutute," Phil Durst, Nieto’s attorney,
said.
Nieto's suit under the state act is
based in pan on a 1987 opinion by
the Texas attorney general.
The opinion said. “Persons dis
criminated against on the basis of
handicaps perceived by their em
ployers have standing . . . even if the
person in fact is not handicapped.”
The Texas Human Rights Foun
dation is helping to pay Nieto’s legal
expenses.
The foundation works on behalf
of gay and lesbian concerns and
against discrimination against peo
ple with AIDS-related conditions.
