Mike Dunleavy removed three members of Alaska’s human rights commission Thursday, completing a near-total overhaul of the typically under-the-radar commission more than two months after a social media uproar put it in the spotlight. The stated mission of the Alaska State Commission for Human Rights is to “eliminate and prevent discrimination for all Alaskans.” The commission’s website says it’s tasked with enforcing state human rights law. Last month, she announced her resignation after the commission voted 5-2 to suspend her for 15 working days without pay. Around the same time that Buscaglia announced her resignation, two commission members said they were resigning. Dunleavy swiftly announced replacements for both who, along with Sanders, were subsequently confirmed by the Legislature.
