Last year, partial domestic partner benefits were extended to faculty and staff at the University of Maryland. It was a way for the university to extend as many benefits as possible to domestic partners without the Board of Regents consent. The Board of Regents has continuously been the roadblock to the university extending full domestic partner benefits.
Now, the University Senate is dealing with whether or not to extend similar partial benefits to teaching and research assistants.
Check out The Diamondback's story about the Senate's postponement on the proposal here.
Also, in today's Diamondback, the editorial board - which I am part of - wrote a Staff Editorial about the issue. Check that out here.
