Other purchases made by the Human Rights Commission “blurred the lines” between the professional and the personal. But the Human Rights Commission spent far more than other city departments on such payments. In 2024, for instance, while the Human Rights Commission spent more than $1 million on gift cards, gala events, tuition reimbursement and Apple products, the Department of Children, Youth and Their Families spent approximately $50,000. “Under Davis’s leadership, [the Human Rights Commission] demonstrated a pattern and practice of evading existing controls and avoiding scrutiny from city oversight agencies,” read the report. “[The Human Rights Commission] disregarded city purchasing rules, raising concerns about transparency, accountability, and financial integrity.”The majority of the Human Rights Commission’s “ineligible” payments were for professional services.
