LGBT Hall of Fame inducts new members by Hallie Zolkower-Kutz Assistant Metro Editor
THE CHICAGO GAY and Lesbian Hall
of Fame honored twelve inductees for their contributions to the advancement of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans-gender communities Nov. 12 at the Chicago History Museum, 1601 N. Clark Street. Three organizations were also honored at the ceremony: The Chicago Black Gay Men’s Caucus, a group focused on HIV and AIDS prevention; the Chi-Town Squares, a dance group that brings LGBT and non-LGBT members together; and Proud to Run, Chicago, which sponsors rallies and races that raise money for local LGBT groups. Awards were presented by Mona Noriega, chairwoman of the Commission on Human Relations, state Rep. Deb Mell (D-40th) and Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Among this year’s 12 inductees were Sanford Gaylord, an HIV and AIDS activist; Dr. William Greaves,

a former member of the Advisory Council on Gay and Lesbian Issues; and Cook County Clerk David Orr. Being inducted into the hall of fame indicates that honorees have made contributions that impact more than just LGBT communities, said Danny Kopelson, an AIDS fundraiser who was inducted in 2000. “I’m very proud to be part of this group of people who I think really have contributed a lot [to the] LGBT community, but also to the wider city,” Kopelson said. The recognition also spreads awareness of the accomplishments of LGBT activists, Kopelson said. “It shows and recognizes a long history, because it isn’t just people doing things today,” he said. “It’s also people who have done things posthumously, and it shows the history of our community and what we have done to make Chicago and this country a better place.” xx SEE LGBT, PG. 35

cess generated fierce debate over what programs should be cut or restructured. Over the summer, it gained a new name, “self-assessment,” and seemed to be on the back burner until Senior Vice President Warren Chapman announced in a Nov.8 email that the implementation phase has been in progress all semester. The deans and chairs of each school and department have condensed hundreds of recommendations made during last year’s process and categorized them by urgency. Recommendations will be addressed at different times during the next three years, the email said. The suggestions that came out of the process were sent back to deans and chairs for further review at the beginning of this semester, as reported by The Chronicle Sept. 4. “[These recommendations] are an accumulation of discussions that have taken place since I came here [full-time] in June,” Chapman said. According to the email, there are 12 recommendations, referred to as “first-tier priorities,” that will be addressed this academic year. The college will tackle secondand third-tier suggestions during the next two to three years, the email said. The 12 first-tier recommendations to be discussed and who suggested them are as follows: 1. From the School of Fine & Performing Arts and the Arts, Entertainment & Media Management Department: Integrate the AEMM and Marketing Communication departments; also collaboration between AEMM, Marketing Communication and the Portfolio Center to develop a foundation program that highlights entrepreneurial skills. 2. From Alicia Berg, vice president of Campus Environment: The Dance, Music and Theatre departments, along with Campus Environment, are in the process of assessing the feasibility of a new Performing xx SEE DEANS, PG. 9
