Welcome back! I hope you all had a great holiday and are ready for this semester!
This semester, the general meetings for QSU will be held on Tuesdays at 6pm in the QRC. We will have a meeting this week. It will consist mostly of setting some plans and dates for this semester. Feel free to bring any ideas you have to the meeting or email them to me at bklewis@purdue.edu.
The Big Gay Callout will be on Thursday, January 20, in Class of 1950 room 224 (the lecture hall) at 7pm! The speaker this semester will be Charlie Shook, chair of the Human Relations Commission in West Lafayette, who worked very hard this past semester to get Gender Identity and Expression added to their nondiscrimination policy. We will have many organizations present, so come out and meet some new people. Afterward, at 8, we will be heading to Vienna Coffeehouse on Chauncey for a "Coffee Night." (There is more than coffee!) This is a great time to relax and socialize after settling into the new semester.
Also, if you are interested in getting involved, we have openings for our Social and Fundraising chairs! These are great positions to get started in leading and planning events. There are many more opportunities besides those as well! Email Nicholas Goldsmith at ngoldsmi@purdue.edu if interested.
Thanks!

Purdue Board of Trustees Expands Nondiscrimination Policy
On Friday, December 17th, the Purdue Board of Trustees voted to expand the nondiscrimination policy to include "gender identity and expression" and "genetic information." No votes were cast in opposition of the revision.
With this addition, Purdue joins the majority of its peer institutions and the city of West Lafayette in rejecting discrimination on the basis of "gender identity and expression." The amendment was proposed by Purdue Student Government, who voted unanimously to recommend the change.
The policy will now state, "Purdue University prohibits discrimination against any member of the University community on the basis of race, religion, color, sex, age, national origin or ancestry, genetic information, marital status, parental status, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, disability, or status as a veteran."
Purdue Queer Student Union President Nicholas Goldsmith, "I am proud to see Purdue move closer to being an inclusive community for all."
Jess Rombach, Purdue Student Government Senator for the Council of Organizations for Respect and Equality and author of the resolution stated, "This is a giant step towards a more welcoming environment, so that all Purdue students can equally enjoy their time at Purdue."
Purdue Student Government took up the issue after the Queer Student Union illuminated the gap in the inclusivity of the policies.
