Discrimination rule A shot in the arm comes before se ate
BY ASHLEY COOK senior editor The University senate voted Tuesday not to endorse a resolution by the OM-Columbia Faculry Council supporting the inclusion of sexual orienta tion as a protected category in the OM System discrimination policy, citing the fact that a similar resolution had previously been passed by the senate. In April of 1997, both the OM-St. Louis Senate and OM-Columbia Faculty Council passed resolutions encouraging the OM Board of Curators to adopt the change in the discrimination policy. The Student Government Association passed a resolution Oct. 29 that supported the addition of a sexual and gender orientation clause to the sys tem discrimination policy. Jeanne Zarucchi, chair of the senate, said that system policy cannot be changed by one campus, but must be approved by the Board: 'There was an effort by individual campuses to urge the board to change the system policy, but the Board did not approve it, so these resolutions .. .therefore did not ~ecome policy," Zarucchi said. . Senators also voted to forward the 1997 resolution to the Board again. "Our senators felt that it was unnecessary to endorse the Columbia reso lution because our previous resolution was still in effect," Zarucchi said. "It has never been rescinded. It is still valid as a resolution." Zarucchi said that the vote against endorsing was not an act against the sexual orientation clause, but that it was a reaffinnation that the; senate had already endorsed the issue. "It should not be interpreted in any way as a negative opinion expressed Sto"Inm,,, PI,,"! The Current . by our senate," Zarucchi said.. . .
