Professor Martin Appointed to Morgantown Human Rights Commission

West Virginia University law professor Jena Martin has been appointed to the Morgantown Human Rights Commission as the law school liaison. The City Council appoints members to the commission for two-year terms.

Morgantown City Council established a Human Rights Commission in 2001. The purpose of the Human Rights Commission is "to provide leadership for addressing community interaction and fairness concerns. It works to ensure that the City is not only providing services, but maintaining ways in which a community can live together inclusively, functionally, and justly despite differences, complexities, and conflicts."
