Last week, Governor John Hickenlooper announced his appointment of three members to the Colorado Civil Rights Commission. The Commission investigates complaints and conducts hearings concerning alleged discrimination in employment, apprenticeship programs, on-the-job training, and vocational schools. The Commission also investigates the existence of discriminatory or unfair employment practices. The appointments to the Commission are dependent upon Senate confirmation.
