Myths About Health Benefits for Same-Sex Domestic Partners

UIC faculty and staff also assisted in passage of an identical resolution by the UIUC and UIS Senates. In fall 1997, the UIC Senate passed a companion resolution also asking for these benefits for opposite sex partners (this resolution had already passed at the other two campuses).

It has taken over five years to get to this point. A conference committee worked out minor differences in language between the campus resolutions, and the recommendation was poised to go to the Board of Trustees.

President Stukel has decided to follow one legal opinion that it would be illegal for the university to offer such benefits outside the regular benefit system(CMS) which does not make any provisions for domestic partners. We have also posted a response by UIS Prof. Patricia Langley which details the course of her arbitration complaint which was cited by President Stukel.
