State of Human Relations Study Seeks Public Input

GREENSBORO, NC -- (June 24, 2008) – Greensboro residents are being asked to take an online survey about their experiences with employment, housing, education and law enforcement within the city.

Survey results will be used as part of the City’s Human Relations Department and Commission’s State of Human Relations (SOHR) study, being conducted by The University of North Carolina at Greensboro and North Carolina A&T State University.

All Greensboro residents, 18 years of age and older, are encouraged to take the online survey by June 30. Access the survey at www.uncg.edu/ant/survey/rws4.pl?FORM=written_survey or through the City’s website at www.greensboro-nc.gov/. 

Ten years ago, the City of Greensboro’s Department of Human Relations produced a SOHR report that examined the challenges facing Greensboro as it entered the 21st Century. This year, a new report will be produced to examine the current issues in human relations and to determine what progress has been made in the last decade. Like its predecessor, this study will be a collaboration between the Human Relations Department, the City’s Human Relations Commission, and the Commission on the Status of Women.
