Jeffery R. Holland is a leader in the LDS church that has openly opposed LGBTQ+ individuals by calling for "musket fire" toward the community. He has further disregarded the achievements of LGBTQ+ individuals within his own community and opposed the recent statements of the LDS church in regard to accepting LGBTQ+ individuals. 

Including Holland in the Commencement proceedings of SUU would fail to serve the student body, especially those in the LGBTQ+ community and students who do not follow the religious teachings of the LDS church. 

Signing this petition will provide SUU's upper administration proof of support that the students and community stand for the rights of LGBTQ+ and students who do not follow the religious teachings of the LDS church.
