The Human Rights Center (HRC) is a meeting space for human-rights and social-justice clubs at Knox. It is not to be confused with the Human Rights Campaign. The HRC was established as a cultural center in the late 1990s by Riley Johnson and a number of other students.
These clubs are APA, Common Ground, SASS, SHAG and Estudiantes sin Fronteras.
Former HRC clubs include SETA and the LACC. KARES held meetings in the HRC until Winter term 2006, when they began holding meetings in the Ecohouse.
The HRC is haunted and is home to many bats, one of which tried to attack Graham Troyer-Joy. Alumni including Josh Ferchau, Adrienne Hill, and Emily Smith have also tangled with HRC bats.
The HRC Task Force is the ruling body over the HRC.
Some people claim the HRC is a terrorist HQ, since anarchists and anti-Americans meet there and discuss things covered under the first amendment. How ironic.
