i am utterly horrified. a bunch of my colleagues just voted against giving domestic partners employee benefits because "marriage is between a man and a woman."
did i ask about marriage? no.
i asked for them to recommend that our university system acknowledge that legally certified domestic partners (same or opposite sex) should be granted benefits.
so when did this become a religious issue? oh right. when jesus wound up in the white house. exactly where he doesn't belong.
now i have to go tell the other senate chairs that, even though every campus in the state passed the resolution, our administrative unit did not because they are too ignorant to recognize anything beyond their religion when discussing legal issues involving others.

That is very retarded.
Where was the vote held?
Are these people that can be removed?
Get the students involved, and see if some of them can force the vote again...
the vote was held in a video conference room... and these people (to my dismay) cannot be removed. they actually volunteer for their positions on the senate. and because we're not teaching faculty, we aren't impacted by students. *sigh* it's ok, all of the other campuses approved it and apparently the presidents support it too. hee hee hee.
