December 9, 2010 To the editor, I worked in a business close to the campus about 20 years ago. It was a nice community that was very tolerant of gay oriented people. I would guess at least 1/3 of the population was gay. I had a lot of nice customers [...]
The Belmont Faculty Senate postponed a vote on a resolution calling for clarification of Belmont’s hiring policy concerning sexual orientation, but passed a resolution encouraging the university and administration to have a open dialogue on campus.

For the first time since her exit from Belmont University last week, former Belmont women’s soccer coach Lisa Howe released a statement that did not come from the school, but rather on the website of a national magazine. “I was a good student athlete recruiter, had an organized and professionally [...]
About 50 Belmont students attended a sit-in outside Dr. Bob Fisher’s office to protest what they call, “blatant discrimination” against women’s soccer coach Lisa Howe. “I want this to be visible solidarity,” said junior Christian ethics major Elli Whiteway. “We need to get this issue out of the closet.” The [...]
