MURRAY STATE UNIVERSITY BOARD OF REGENTS APPROVE FAIR WORKPLACE POLICY

Murray --- The Murray State University Board of Regents voted 7-4 today to officially include gay, lesbian, and bisexual faculty and staff in the university's non-discrimination policy.

"Today's action by the Board of Regents brings Murray State in line with all the other public institutions of higher education across the Commonwealth," said Jody Cofer, Murray State employee and chair of the Kentucky Fairness Alliance Board of Directors. "What has been the practice of most members of the university community is now official policy. Fairness for all university workers benefits the entire community, but most importantly it sends a signal that Murray State truly is an equal educational and employment opportunity institution for all members of society."
