  • Proposal to Add Gender Identity & Expression to the UF Non
    Proposal to Add Gender Identity & Expression to the UF Non Discrimination Clause December, 2009 Submitted by the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Concerns Committee, a Presidential Committee appointed by the Provost of the University of Florida. Background: Although an inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) is currently being considered by Congress, no federal law at present prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender identity or expression in either employment or education.1 However, a growing number of states, localities, and campuses have enacted laws expressly prohibiting such discrimination. The city of Gainesville incorporated gender identity into its non-discrimination ordinance in 2008, and the citizens of Gainesville reaffirmed their commitment to nondiscrimination in a city-wide vote in March 2009. Universities are also increasingly incorporating protections. All American Association of University (AAU) member institutions, including University of Florida, currently prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation; however, although a majority of AAU member campuses also expressly prohibit discrimination based on gender identity or expression, UF does not. To uphold its commitment to equality, maintain consistency with local laws, and stay competitive with peer institutions, the University of Florida should add gender identity and expression to its non-discrimination policies. Proposed wording change: We propose amending the current wording of the UF Non-Discrimination Policy: University of Florida Regulations 6C1-1.006 University of Florida; Non-Discrimination Policy. (1) The University shall actively promote equal opportunity policies and practices conforming to laws against discrimination. The University is committed to non-discrimination with respect to race, creed, color, religion, age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, political opinions or affiliations, and veteran status as protected under the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act.

  • State of Organic Agriculture in Maine State of Organic Agriculture in Maine 2009
    State of Organic Agriculture in Maine State of Organic Agriculture in Maine 2009 By Emily Boone and Megan Browning Executive Summary The State of Organic Agriculture in Maine 2009 is the third chapter in The State of Maine’s Environment 2009, a report produced by the Environmental Policy Group in the Environmental Studies Program at Colby College in Waterville, Maine. This is the fifth State of Maine’s Environment report published since 2004. We examine trends in overall agriculture and changes in organic production over time in Maine relative to other states, primarily using USDA Census of Agriculture statistics. Additionally, we use a Geographic Information System (GIS) to map locations of organic farms in Maine certified by the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA). We found that Maine, although a relatively small state in overall agricultural production, is a national leader in organic agricultural production. We examine reasons for this status and discuss future scenarios for organic agriculture in Maine. We also consider benefits and drawbacks of having national organic standards. We conclude that although organic production in Maine requires continued support, Maine policy makers could also promote growth in agriculture by further encouraging local consumption of Maine produced foods. Additionally we recommend that Maine increase efforts to conserve farmland by supporting organic farmers in the state and helping to protect them from development pressures. Introduction In the U.S., organic agriculture is one of the fastest growing sectors of the food industry. Once sold and produced only within small niche markets, production and consumption of organic products has been recently increasing at rapid rates.
