WHEREAS, North Carolina State University is a public institution with over 30,000 students currently enrolled, and each individual student comes from a different background and origin; and,

In addition, impermissible discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation would include conduct or decisions in violation of the university's Sexual Orientation Policy Statement.” ; and,

WHEREAS, In order for our University to continue to function successfully as both an academic institution and research facility, it is imperative that we not only recognize the different backgrounds and origins from which we come, but also embrace them; and,

WHEREAS, By accepting and embracing people from all genders, sexes, sexual orientation, backgrounds, races, religions and creeds, we also create an environment welcoming the top students, instructors, administrators and athletes from around the globe; now therefore be it,

RESOLVED, That the North Carolina State University Student Government shares the opinion that each member of the Wolfpack Family and visitor on our campus is accepted for who they are and not discriminated upon by others for their race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, disability, creed or veteran status; and be it further,

RESOLVED, That the North Carolina State University Student Government wholly embraces diversity and the many positive educational, social and professional attributes it brings to the university; and be it further,
