Michigan Civil Rights chief reprimanded for remarks about women
Michigan's Civil Rights Commission reprimands Agustin Arbulu, director since 2015, for comments objectifying women. He must complete training and cannot lead internal or external training during that period. The commission, citing a May remark to a male staffer about a woman at a meeting, also notes ongoing discrimination complaint investigations. Gov Whitmer's office calls the split decision difficult to comprehend.
