UA Students/Staff/Faculity for amending the Non-Discrimination Policy Hey All...an idea that the UAF GSA had was to try to bring up Judy Shepard (Matthew Shepard's mother)...it would be awesome if we could team up with UAA or UAs (or Both) and do a system wide thing. We were looking to have her speak April 16th which is also when we'll be do Day of Silence.
