SPU Faculty Senate passes a “Resolution to Endorse the ‘Third Way’ Recommendation of the SPU LGBTQIA+ Work Group”. The Faculty Senate voted, 80% to 15%, to endorse the “Third Way” option for SPU recommended by the LGBTQIA+ Work Group. The Third Way provides a Christian higher ed model that enables the community to welcome and thoroughly explore all perspectives on LGBTQIA+ issues by declining to take an official position in the ongoing church debates and allowing all Christians, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, to be eligible for employment at SPU.
