BFC passes Pace resolution

At Tuesday’s meeting, the Bloomington Faculty Council passed the resolution regarding Gen. Peter Pace and the honor of Poling Chair granted to him by the Kelley School of Business.

The resolution expresses the council’s “regret that Gen. Pace was brought to campus in a way that was offensive to the gay and lesbian community, and urges all campus administrators to be sensitive to minority concerns when awarding university honors.”

BFC President Herb Terry said 19 members voted for the resolution and 15 voted against it. He also said many people did not vote, but also did not abstain. The resolution will now be sent to campus administrators.
