Out Boulder Board Members have Letter to the Editor Published about Bill McCartney in the Daily Camera &
Thanks to Glenda Russell for her article comments
|

Thank you to Out Boulder board members, straight allies and CU Buffs football fans Lester Wall and Jackson Dreiling for their excellent letter in today's Daily Camera about concerns regarding Bill McCartney's possible return as head football coach. Click here to read the letter...
To read the Daily Camera's story, "CU-Boulder employees express 'deep concerns' about Bill McCartney" click here.
Glenda Russell, who earned her undergraduate and graduate degrees from CU and now works as a psychologist on the campus, says people should consider McCartney's full history while at CU.
"McCartney has every right to have his own beliefs," she said. "But he stepped over the line on a number of occasions when he used his position at the university to promulgate those beliefs and insist that other people join him in behaviors that were associated with those beliefs."
Hiring McCartney for the job, she said, could cause a chilling effect on the recruitment of students and employees.
"We've done a lot of work on this campus to embrace diversity -- and we have more work to do -- but I think that diversity can't really thrive unless all members of the community are welcomed." |
