Lindenwood University vs GSA Part 4 of 5
Background see this News Story: http://bit.ly/bwEZq7
A group of students petitioning Lindenwood University to sanction a Gay Straight Alliance on campus has received a rejection.
Lindenwood called the group “rather parochial and doesn’t offer a benefit to the campus community.” It said “gsa has been known for being a club that promotes a certain agenda.” Lindenwood says it would like the members to consider a social justice alliance that could deal with race, religion, sexual orientation and other issues that face frequent scrutiny.
Here are the videos of the meeting that took place Wednesday February 10th in Young Hall. Human Resources Director Dr. Boyle and Graduate Student Jack Sago met prior to meeting to craft the following proposal and it is presented in this video.

The proposal was to create a “Spectrum Alliance” which appears to read more like a diversity catch-all club than a true GSA. The new club’s mission boasts it’s for the education of social justice issues – including GLBT, the disabled and other student issues that need attention. (They use the term “the Disabled.”)
The 50 in attendance comprised mostly of students, but included some teachers, staff and community members. A handful who attended this meeting raised an issue to the name change but in the end, the HR Director convinced the bulk of the body to accept the new name strictly out of “acceptance” to move on.
What was most disappointing was the complete acceptance of continuing homophobia and gender discrimination merely based on Lindenwood University’s history of oppression. To hear students, faculty and even the HR Director himself admit that “5 years ago Lindenwood Admin would of fired (and/or kicked out) gay students for even suggesting” they receive equal protections in forming a Gay Straight student organization.
It’s too bad Lindenwood students didn’t take a cue and follow John Carroll University LGBTQ students who also had their College promote hate.

Graduate Student Association at NJIT
As a student government organization, GSA’s mission is to represent the interests of all graduate students in university affairs. GSA maintains relationships with graduate students, our university administrators and officials. This close contact gives graduate students a voice at our university. In addition, gsa’s membership in the National Association of Graduate and Professional Students (NAGPS) gives it a national voice.
All NJIT graduate students are already members of GSA! Portions of the graduate fees you pay with tuition allow you full access to all the benefits that the GSA provides. Student representatives from all graduate programs are the critical element in ensuring student representation. Representatives are made available to their respective constituencies with regular department wide feedback sessions and office hours. Feedback sessions allow all students to express their opinions, comments and difficulties to their representative. Representatives then work with department administration to resolve any issues. This structure coordinates students a powerful voice in their departments and on campus. Representatives are also available with weekly office hours to provide any assistance necessary to their fellow graduate students.
