Defend Vanderbilt's non-discrimination policy from Right wing attacks

The Issue

Tennessee Equality Project wants Vanderbilt University to know that people from all over the country support them in their decision to apply their non-discrimination policy consistently to all campus organizations. The Board of Trust is under intense pressure to scale back the application of the policy. The Congressional Prayer Caucus, the Family Action Council of Tennessee, and even some state legislators have criticized the University. We ask Chancellor Nick Zeppos to pass along our views to the Board of Trust.
