PSG Resolution

To beloved Queer and Ally Community,

While the Queer Student Union generally does not send out policy statements, the nondiscrimination policy has been deemed an exception.

Today, February 10, 2010, the Purdue Student Government Senate approved of a resolution urging the University to amend its non-discrimination policy to include Gender Identity and Expression, Genetic Information, and Political Affiliation. The resolution was passed unanimously, and we congratulate Purdue Student Government on
its overwhelming support. This policy, if approved by the administration, will be more inclusive of the Queer community at Purdue, helping to add levels of protection against discrimination and harassment to many members of our community. Purdue University is currently the only Big Ten University to not include Gender Identity
and Expression in its policy in some way.

This resolution still has a long way to go before it becomes a reality, but we certainly are one step closer.

The Queer Student Union would like to thank Purdue Student Government for its passage of the resolution, and urge those who will see this resolution in the future to follow with strong support. Thank you to our senators for passing this resolution.


Thank you,

Jessica Lee
President
