Title: Trans firing may cause Lansing Community College to sever partnership

Trans firing may cause Lansing Community College to sever partnership with Spring Arbor (http://www.pridesource.com/article.shtml?article=23674)

A lucrative partnership between Lansing Community College and the
embattled Spring Arbor University may be in jeopardy due to SAU's recent
firing of a transgender employee.

LCC officials confirm the state's third largest community college is
considering ending a proposed partnership between the two organizations
because of SAU's recent firing of Julie Marie Nemecek, who is transgendered,
and a series of repressive policies, including an antigay policy.

The proposed partnership would have allowed SAU to offer classes and degrees
at a new multimillion dollar building at LCC's downtown campus. The new
building, dubbed the University Center, is paid for with state dollars and
matching funds from a recent millage passed by LCC district voters.

I do hope they sever the ties.
