Policies neglect LGB students

The co-director of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Outreach student office discovered a loophole in Marshall’s Board of Governor policies that could allow the discrimination of students because of their sexual orientation.

Doug Evans, co-director of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Outreach, said the first Board of Governors policy, Policy SA-2, fails to accommodate LGB students’ academic rights. The policy states the student, “shall not be graded nor shall his/her performance be evaluated on the basis of his/her race, color, creed, sex, or national origin.”
