Group: UK program has 'non-diverse perspective'

By Allie Gag

agarza@kykarnel.com

Six UK faculty members were sin-
gled out on a pamphlet that was distrib~
uted to legislative officials last week
during the special session on pension
reform in Frankfort.

The Family Foundation, a conserv-
ative family-oriented group based out
of Lexington. issued 130 handouts con-
taining the names. pictures, biographies
and salaries of six UK faculty mem-
bers. a majority of whom are associated
with the Gender'and Women‘s Studies
program.

Kent Orstrander. the Family Foun-

dation executive director. said the pur»
pose of the handouts was to infonn leg-
islators about the expenditures of mon-
ey. with emphasis on the women‘s stud-
ies department. which had a very non-
diverse perspective.

“We‘re not focusing on the profes-
sors as individuals. but simply using
what was on the (UK) Web site."
Orstrander said. "We‘re raising the
question. ‘Is this where you want to pri-
oritize your tax and tuition dollars."

UK President Lee Todd defended
the program‘s funding in a statement
last Thursday.

”Free and open academic inquiry is

at the very heart of what institutions of

higher learning are supposed to do -
whether it‘s researching cures to
Parkinson‘s and lung cancer disease or
asking questions about subjects that
some may find uncomfortable in a di-
verse society." Todd said in the state—
ment. "We shouldn't attempt to regulate
such inquiry."

The Family Foundation called UK‘s
funding of the gender and women‘s
studies program "special interest politi-
cal activism." and challenged the de-
partment to produce a faculty member
who is supportive of the “traditional
family."

According to a news release yester-
day from the Family Foundation, Mar—

tin Cothran. senior policy analyst for
the foundation. wants the university to
produce one faculty member who is in
support of Kentucky Marriage Amend-
ment.

The Kentucky Marriage Amend
nietit. passed in 2004. makes it uncons
stitutional for the Commonwealth to
recognize or perform same—sex mar-
riage or civil unions. The amendment
passed with 75 percent approval of vot-
ers.

"More Kentuckians voted to pass
the Marriage Amendment iii 2004 than
had ever voted both ‘yes‘ and 'no‘ com—
bined on any other constitutional
amendment in the history of the Com-

The UK Violence Intervention and Pre-
vention Center aimed to engage members of
the community in finding new ways to pre-
vent violence against women at the Green
Dot Kentucky Summit on Violence Preven-
tion hosted Monday.

The event. held on behalf of the Ken—
tucky Domestic Violence Association and
the Kentucky Association of Sexual Assault
Programs. is one of many steps the VIP C en-
ter has taken toward reducing the number of
occurrences of violence against .xomen in
Kentucky. During their time at UK. women
have a one in three chance of becoming a
victim of violence. said Dorothy Edwards.
director of the VIP Center.

The center created a program called
Green Dot. which is a model of violence in-
tervention. The green dot is a metaphor that
refers to any behavior. choice. statement or
attitude that is actively intolerant of this vio—
lence. Edwards said.

“A green dot is having a conversation
with a colleague about the importance of lo-
cal prevention effort. making a donation to a
local domestic violence program. noticing a
high risk situation and making the choice to
get involved." Edwards said.

Nearly l50 people attended the summit.
including state legislatures and small bUsi-
ness owners. and discussed ways law eti-

UK opened its first office in Louisville
last month with the goal to aid in recruitment
of students from the state's largest metropoli»
tan area.

UK on Main. located at 7H W. Main St.
in downtown Loutsvillc. provides space for
university officials in development. admis-
sions. athletics and sports marketing to recruit
new students to the university. according to a
May l4 news release. It also houses alumni.
admissions. corporate partnerships and devela
opment meetings and events that take place
away from the university‘s campus.

UK wanted a presence in Louisville be—
cause of the city's large population. alumni
base and current UK student population. said
Tanya Jones. marketing services manager of
UK on Main.

Nearly 25.000 UK alumni live in Jeffer‘
son County. as well as nearly 3.000 current
students 7 roughly IO percent of UK‘s entire
student body. said UK spokesman Jay Blan-
ton.

UK‘s decision to open its Louisville of-
fice came after examination of other universi-
ties opening similar offices in their states'
largest urban areas. The University of Geor-
gia. Oregon State University and the Univer—
sity of Arkansas have all opened metropolitan

school continues to completely ignore
the wishes of the people it serves."

The faculty members whose pro-
files were published in the handouts
had varying reactions to the complaint.
Ellen Riggle. associate director of the
(tender and Women‘s Studies Program.
said she did not think the handouts
were personal attacks on either herself
or her colleagues. but an attack on the
university community at large.

“This is an attack on education in
general. all professors contributing to
the academic mission. and the students
at UK." she said.

SG forms committees to engage UK community

By Allie Garza

agarza@kvkernel com

Like most of ['K. Student (iovz
eminent is working this summer to
develop programs and make changes
to their operations despite cuts to
their budget.

SC: President Tyler Montell is
working to redistribute some of the
areas of funding with a budget that
is Sl00.000 less than the S4tXI.000
that the organization had to work
with two years ago.

Montell and Vice President
Grant Mills have made changes to
how SG‘s yearly budget will be
spent including committing
$l00.000 to be given to organi/a»
tions and groups who need funding
assistance from the Senate. This is
530000 more than was allotted last
year.

“Last year it was 370.000 and
they (Appropriations and Revenue
committee) ran out in February."
Mills said.

SC: has also allotted money to
train the senators in their responsi-

bilities and ptirposcs of the various
committees. By increasing the lcv cl
of training and cvpertise the coin
mittces have. Mills said he believes
that the money they are giving away
will be spent in the best ways possi
hlc‘.

Despite cuts in the
budget. SC: is creating
new programs because
Mills said he feels it is
important to give back
to students.

One of S(i's goals is
to create a program that
engages students. faculty
and staff members in
university affairs. Mon
tell said.

Montell and Mills
have created l8 adv isory
boards specialized on
topics ranging lrom cn-
vironmental issues to Greek affairs

‘I'I'Ie Dig" about kissing Angelina Jone

Move over. Brad Pitt! UK.
hcamhrob lamcs Mc Ayoy locks
lips with Hollywood s most cov-
ctcd vixcn Angelina Jolie. in the
hot summer action flick Wanted
(out June 27). The Scotland na-
tivc. married to actress Anne-
Marie Duff, 37. insists that thc
stcamy sccnc was strictly profcs~
sional. "l was acting. totally. I'm
a marricd guy!" he tclls Us. In
thc film, the actor is yankcd
from his corporate cubicle and
forced to join a nctwork of as-
sassins. The 29—year-old chats
with Us.

Q: What was it like to film
that sexy kiss sccnc‘.’

lt‘s the least intimatc mo-
ment of your day. l was more in-
timate with my makeup artist
than I was with Angelina!
You're more worried that your
brcath stinks from the garlic pas—
ta at lunch.

Q: How did you prepare for
the physical role?

I had to go to the gym.
which isn‘t really my bag. That
took a lot of time. There was
fight training with the stunt
team, kickboxing sessions every
moming and gun training. 1 was
never Conan the Barbarian. The
stuff at the beginning. where I‘m
out of shape. lends itself more to
me.

Q: What does your wife
think of your new ripped
physique"

Aww. I don't know. You’ll
have to ask her!

Q: Do you prefer action
flicks or dramas?

I do like serious films, to be
honest. When action films are
good. they‘re fun. but when

they're bad. it‘s like going to the

dentist. Mission: Impossible III
was great.

of Third Street Stuff and Coffee

who participated in the event.
“Educating bystanders to the
point of view that violence is
not acceptable is the obvious
path to take because the ap-
proach from the Victim level is
not working in reducing these
abuses. It was inspiring and en-~

Christy Burch—Epperson. as—

make a difference in coming up
with new ways to reduce the
number of UK students who are

Riggle said she has faith that
students are able to evaluate the

Riggle said. she believes that
their mission is to conduct re-

"The Gender and Women‘s

contribute critically to the study
of these problems
and the mission of

Melanie Otis. an

the handouts are in-

“Ultimately.
