The Purdue Graduate Student Government passed a new resolution Monday night which adds gender identity, gender expression, genetic information and political affiliation to the list of prohibited forms of discrimination on Purdue's campus.

Richard Severe, president of the Graduate Student Government, said the resolution was presented to the council and was passed.

"There were some abstentions but there were no 'no' votes," Severe said.

Huh.  I thought that those things were covered under the blanket statement "sexual orientation."  I know it isn't literally, but I thought it was legally.
