Notre Dame Faculty Supports Gay Group’s Recognition And Protection | Echoing a renewed cry that “it needs to get better” at University of Notre Dame, the Faculty Senate has joined the Student Senate in passing two resolutions supporting improvements for gay students. The first resolution endorses university recognition for a gay-straight alliance and the second proposes adding sexual orientation to the university’s non-discrimination clause. University administrators have not yet commented on the resolutions, but given this is the first time the Faculty Senate has ever formally discussed LGBT issues, its support for students could mark a monumental step forward for improving life on campus.
