The Human Relations Commission of West Lafayette serves as a forum for all discrimination related issues in the community including but not limited to problems related to treatment of a person solely in the basis of their age, sex, race, religion, national origin, ancestry, disability status, familial status, and sexual orientation. The group has the legal authority to investigate any problems reported and can start the process to take any legal actions. The commission strives to protect the rights of citizens and to ensure that West Lafayette remains a fair and inclusive community.

The commission is currently looking for a student intern to serve as an assistant to the secretary, and take down minutes. The minutes would have to be transcribed and emailed in a timely manner. Meetings take place four times a year.

Applicants should be interested in government, be conscientious and diligent, have good computer and writing skills, and live in West Lafayette city limits.
