the policy could expose the university to litigation by straight employees...

Bingo.

They will be sued and they will lose. They can't discriminate.

My fiance works for a non-public company - and they have the same policy. Same sex couples can have domestic partnerships for benefits, hetero couples cannot. It's really discriminatory for us.

"This is a matter of economic fairness."

No. This is a matter of politically correct college administrators sinking farther into the quagmire of "fairness." There are not enough Clinton-Carter judges in the country to make this idiocy stick. Although they will surely try ...

I'm not going to sue over something like that - but I'm sure it'll happen at some point. It is frustrating, though.

A heterosexual couple living together without benefit of clergy needs to sue the crap out of these Leftists for discrimination.

The gay agenda has gotten this far because no one will stand up to it. After the last election, the time to stand up is NOW.

Those unmarrieds who are living together should get married.

OK. Bob decides to put Paul on his work health insurance as his partner. Paul has medical work done. Then Bob dumps Paul and adds Stan to his medical insurance. What happens to Paul's medical bills?

Yet another stupid PC policy that cannot withstand even cursory analysis.

Nothing new. This is true of every DU regulation I have seen. In Califorinia, they get the benefits of marriage and can still file "Single" on tax returns and pay less tax than married couples.

I'm certain the ACLU will be eager to enter the fray to ensure that all parties rights (Hetero, unmarried couples and Gay, unmarried couples) are protected - NOT!

Well, I'm not a lawyer, but, obviously, Paul's bills incurred during his coverage period will be covered.

But what about afterwards? With married people, I think there is a period during the separation that spouses are covered.

Time to sue the university officials in civil court.
