Resolution 39: In Support of the LGBTQ Ally Ambassador Program
Sponsored by: Dean Iwaoka ‘13, Emily Bick ‘13, Juan Carlos Toledo ‘13, Carlin Van Holmes ‘14
Whereas, the Student Assembly is charged with echoing student voices across campus as representatives of the whole undergraduate student body;
Whereas, the Greek System represents a substantial portion of the undergraduate students;
Whereas, the acceptance and inclusion of L.G.B.T.Q. students within the Greek system varies across chapters, but tends towards tolerance not multicultural competence;
Whereas, there is a perception of increased bias incidences within Greek chapters negatively affecting both members and nonmembers;
Be it Therefore Resolved, that the Student Assembly endorse the adoption of the L.G.B.T.Q. Ally Ambassador Program by the Inter Fraternity Council, the Pan- Hellenic Council, and the Multicultural Greek Letter Council.
Respectfully Submitted,
Dean Iwaoka ‘13
