Meeting in full session for the first time since 1970, Wisconsin's faculty senate, led by Professor of Sociology and South Asian Studies Joseph Elder and Professor of Environmental Studies and Philosophy Claudia Card, approved the resolution, 386 to 248, Monday. The resolution, which was introduced in the spring of 1988, would ban ROTC from campus in May 1993 unless ROTC agreed to allow gays and lesbians to join...
