Another member of the Cedar Falls Human Rights Commission has resigned, the sixth member to do so in recent months.
Another member of the Cedar Falls Human Rights Commission has resigned, the sixth in recent months to do so. The resignation of board member Evan Renfro came just two weeks after he was appointed to the embattled commission, which has been plagued by turnover and core questions about its responsibilities going forward.
The turmoil comes after city officials changed the board’s mission from investigating discrimination allegations to focusing on outreach and education.
In a scathing resignation letter addressed to Mayor Robert Green and members of the city council, Renfro lambasted both the commission and city leaders as seized by inaction and unable to address “real issues of racism” in the northeast Iowa city of about 41,000.
