The sheer amount of protest today over President Hanson's letter about the University not taking a stance on the marriage amendment is ridiculous. Hamline University is dedicated to an open learning environment that respects all students and faculties posititions on the issues in our world. The University made the right choice in my opinion. I feel it is disrespectful to protest and verbally attack everyone on campus today because you disagree with the anouncement. President Hanson and the Board of Trustees are making a choice in the best interest of the University and it should be respected.
If you are in strong support either side of the marriage amendment, then speak out. Go door to door, the capitol, or even rally on campus. However, this is not about "discrediting marriage" or "human rights" it is simply the University saying, we don't get a vote so why should we have a stance?
