“My personal goal in this whole situation since last year was to keep it out of the administration’s hands and have the issue involve students only. I know of the legal options, but I call that the big red button that says, ‘Do not push.’ But eventually, somebody always pushes it.”

“A timely resolution can prove powerful, especially when it’s on an issue that actually affects students and one that students are educated about. Last year’s resolution on the naming of Sixth College had tremendous impact, forcing college administrators to rethink their decision to name that campus after former UC President Richard C. Atkinson. On the other hand … it’s doubtful that last year’s resolution supporting matrimony for homosexual couples had much effect.”
