Members of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Faculty Senate reaffirmed a resolution in support of domestic partner benefits for state workers at their monthly meeting Monday.
“We just want to give a really strong indication that we still are in support of this and it is a priority for us,” said UW-Madison Professor Ann Hoyt, who is chair of the University Committee. “It’s a matter of justice and equal treatment for equal performance. And there are instances of outstanding faculty who have left because we don’t have these benefits that are provided by other large corporations, and small ones, throughout the state.”
