A Duke University administrator was
suspended without pay Feb. 20 for
making critical comments about a job
applicant's sexual orientation.
Larry Nelson, Duke assistant vice
chancellor for health affairs and plan
ning, was suspended for a month and
ordered to take a course in human
sexuality and gender preference and to
perform community service.
Nelson could not be reached for
comment Monday or Tuesday.
Clark Burritt, a Chapel Hill architect,
applied for the position of facility
planner at Duke University Medical
Center in June 1990. He was rejected
for the position after Nelson made
comments about "homosexual man
nerisms," according to Duke officials.
Duke University administrators
condemned Nelson's behavior. Duke
President H. Keith H. Brodie approved
sanctions against him in a letter dated
Feb. 19.
"Duke University cannot and will
not tolerate behavior by its employees
that violates the fundamental principle
of fairness that governs our practices
and operations," Brodie wrote.
Suspending Nelson should send "a
clear and unambiguous message to the
university community and to the public

Separated by years of athletic rivalry,
UNC-Chapel Hill, N.C. State University
and Duke University formally joined
hands last Monday in an effort to aid the
environment.
The Center for World Environment
and Sustainable Development opened
Feb. 18 at NCSU, roughly two years
after researchers from the three Triangle
universities first contemplated com
bining their resources to tackle regional
and international environmental haz
ards. Armed with the differences, real or
perceived, between UNC, NCSU and
Duke, the center is already in possession
of the key that just might unlock the
mythical door to a healthy environment.
Housing
construction, Hicks said.
To maintain a reasonable rate in
crease, some reparation projects were
postponed or scaled down, he said. But
all projects cannot wait, he said.
Kuncl said the department planned
to spend more than $100,000 to repair
the elevators in Hinton James and other
high-rise residence halls. The elevators
in Hinton James are the oldest on cam
pus, and some of their parts are no
longer manufactured, he said.
Hicks said University housing offi
cials were searching for new sources of
income. Independent conferences that
use the residence halls produce less
revenue than those at other schools, he
said.

In the Feb. 26 Daily Tar Heel
article, "Zetas to sponsor 5K race," it
was incorrectly reported that the
fastest time recorded last year was
10 minutes, and most of the runners
completed the race in 15 minutes.
The fastest time last year was actu
ally 10 minutes, 41 seconds. The
second time was about 15 minutes,
and most runners finished in 25
minutes. The race was slightly less
than 5 kilometers.
The Feb. 26 DTH article "Hous
ing staff lauds minority recruitment"
stated that housing administrators
recruited minority candidates at
Black Student Movement meetings.
Jim Weaver, Olde Campus area di
rector, told the DTH this. But Laura
Anderson, BSM minister of infor
mation, said officials never attended
BSM meetings. Also, the names of
Karis Turcogeorge, Ehringhaus area
director, and Ray an Parikh, a resident
assistant in Granville Towers West,
were misspelled in the article.
The DTH regrets the errors.

about our commitment to enforce our
non-discrimination policies," the letter
stated.
Burritt said he was unaware of the
comments until The Independent, an
area weekly magazine, contacted him
Jan. 20. But the story was not printed
until Feb. 20. "It's a fluke that this came
to light," he said.
The Independent obtained a copy of
an internal memo that disclosed specific
details about Nelson's comments. The
memo was written in June 1990 by
Harry Wyatt, director of planning and
design at the medical center.
According to the memo, Burritt
originally received a favorable recom
mendation, and Wyatt termed him "the
most qualified" out of 12 applicants for
the position.
But Nelson expressed reservations
about Burritt because he displayed
mannerisms that suggested he might be
homosexual. Nelson directed Wyatt not
to hire Burritt, according to the memo.
Burritt said he was told he was not
hired because university officials had
decided they would shift someone to
the position from within the medical
center. The person hired came from the
project management department, leav
ing that position open, he said.
"It was my impression that I was
dealt with and discriminated against
before they started working (to find
Malcolm Gillis, chairman of the
center's board of trustees, said the
complementary assets of the three uni
versities would establish a substantial
source of present knowledge about the
environment, along with an edge in
attracting federal research grants.
The UNC School of Public Health
and the Carolina Population Center will
add expertise in the study of society,
while Duke's School of Forestry and
Environmental Studies and NCSU's
College of Agricultural and Life Sci
ences will provide the agricultural know
how , Gillis said.
"Environmental research of this kind
is complex," said Mary Sue Coleman,
UNC dean of research. "The real key is
getting people to look at the problems in
different ways."
About 150 researchers will work out
Kuncl said that Olde Campus reno
vations and improved air conditioning
of facilities would improve summer
revenues. University housing now re

conference services.

"I think they had already determined
that I was not acceptable," he said.
He was turned down for that position

Burritt said he was pleased by how
quickly the incident was handled by
university officials. "I'm angry with
