UNCG shows its commitment to equality
Yesterday I posted a letter I sent to Chancellor Patricia Sullivan and other Adminsitrators at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. The letter dealt with military recruiting on campus and equal employment.
The Director of UNCG’s Office of Career Services responded. It seems as though after I talked with her yesterday she went back to her office and printed out copies of UNCG’s Equal Employment Opportunity statement and had that available for students. She also said that she would provide UNCG’s Policy on Discriminatory Conduct for future events.
I want to take the time to thank UNCG, publicly (I will also be emailing), for showing its commitment to equality and fairness for all students, faculty and staff. Thank you Ms. Seckar, the Office of Career Services and the Administration.
UPDATE (8/24/2006, 4:00pm): I’ve also received a response from Chancellor Patricia Sullivan. I also thank her for showing commitment to equality and for being so responsive to student concerns at UNCG.

so…. you’re going to post the responses, right?

I’m a former Board of Visitors member at UNCG and am proud that they responded and responded appropriately.
However, I would caution that posting private email without the sender’s OK is often a no-no etiquettely. It can be argued that they expected their responses to be posted; it can also be argued that they’re not bloggers and don’t fully get it. I’d err on the side of netiquette and ask if it’s OK to post their responses.
But I’m conservative

No, I don’t think I’ll be posting the actual responses. I’ve done a pretty good job of explaining what was in the responses. Donna Seckar said almost exactly what I said she did and the Chancellor’s email was a basic and short, “Thanks for the email, glad all things are worked out” thing.
However, Ryan, if you want to see the emails I’ll show them to you personally. I guess they are public record (maybe) since they are emails from staff members of a state institution.
