IU Policy:

IU Policy

IU Policy:

IU Policy A. Purpose B. Definitions C. Outlook D . Policies E . Review and Argument

A. The Purpose:

A. The Purpose It is about enforcing policies in place at IU. Not to debate homosexuality or private property. But if the treatment of homosexuality, and the use of property and profits are consistent with IU policy. The groups under consideration are IU South Bend, Chick- fil -A and its associates.

B. Definitions:

B. Definitions Anti-Gay: For the sake of this presentation we will be determining if a group is anti- gay if The group focuses in one way or another on homosexuality as a sexual orientation and identifies it as a condition or disease that should be cured. A group that perpetuates non-productive stereotypes of homosexuals. Discrimination: Unfair treatment of a person or group on the basis of prejudice To treat differently on the basis of sex or race Prejudice : A partiality that prevents consideration of an issue or situation

C. Outlook:

C . Outlook Best to approach this argument as if IUSB were a customer As a customer we have standards by which we determine what products we would like to buy (price, quantity, etc.) IU has established those standards of purchase, and they apply not just to products but to the companies themselves.

D. Code of Conduct:

D. Affirmative Action:

D. Affirmative Action Image from: http://www.indiana.edu/~affirm/policy.shtml

D. The IU Affirmative Action Statement :

D . The IU Affirmative Action Statement “Indiana University pledges itself to continue its commitment to the achievement of equal opportunity within the University and throughout American society as a whole . In this regard, Indiana University will recruit, hire, promote, educate, and provide services to persons based upon their individual qualifications. Indiana University prohibits discrimination based on arbitrary considerations of such characteristics as age, color, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, marital status, national origin, race, religion, sexual orientation, or veteran status . Indiana University shall take affirmative action, positive and extraordinary, to overcome the discriminatory effects of traditional policies and procedures with regard to the disabled, minorities, women, and veterans” From: http://www.indiana.edu/~affirm/pdf/Policies%20&%20Procedures/EEOAA%20Statement.pdf

D. Arbitrary Consideration:

D. Arbitrary Consideration From: http:// dictionary.reference.com /browse/arbitrary ar·bi·trar·y adjective 1 . subject to individual will or judgment without restriction; contingent solely upon one's discretion: an arbitrary decision. 2 . decided by a judge or arbiter rather than by a law or statute. 3 . having unlimited power; uncontrolled or unrestricted by law; despotic; tyrannical: an arbitrary government. 4 . capricious ; unreasonable; unsupported: an arbitrary demand for payment. 5 . Mathematics . undetermined; not assigned a specific value: an arbitrary constant.

D. Interpretation:

D. Interpretation Our Affirmative Action Policy holds that sexual orientation is an unreasonable, and unsupported way to determine treatment of a human being. It is an arbitrary consideration. If as a university our applications included sexual orientation and we denied people admittance based on that, it would not be an arbitrary consideration of homosexuality. That is, it does not matter if they are homosexual or not, it has no effect on their qualification as a student or human being, it is arbitrary.

D. The Academic Handbook:

D . The Academic Handbook “Indiana University is committed to the principle of equal education and occupational opportunities for all persons and to positive action toward elimination of discrimination in all phases of University life , as set forth in the Indiana University Affirmative Action Plan ” From: http://www.indiana.edu/~vpfaa/

D. Chancellor Wolfson:

D. Chancellor Wolfson Previous Chancellor of IU South Bend From letter sent to all fulltime employees “it is proper to inform all full-time employees of Indiana University at South Bend that IUSB completely subscribes to an all-pervasive policy of non-discrimination . Specifically, this means that we are committed to:… Stating in every appropriate forum—as and when necessary—that adherence to the principle of working always toward the cause of human equality, dignity, and opportunity is the essential basis of all our efforts , and that without such adherence, no other institutional accomplishments have any ultimate value” – December 6, 1973

IU Affirmative Action Plan, 1974. Purchasing and Contract Compliance:

IU Affirmative Action Plan, 1974. Purchasing and Contract Compliance “The contractor will take affirmative action to insure that applicants are employed and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, religion, color, sex or national origin . Such action shall include, but not be limited to, the following: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation’ and selection for training, including apprenticeship” “The contractor will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on the behalf of the Contractor, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, religion, color, sex or national origin” Since the 1970s sexual orientation has been added to these lists.

E. To Review…:

E. To Review… E mployees of this university are to remove any aspect of discrimination from University life The definition of discrimination is based on the Affirmative Action Statement IU “Prohibits discrimination based on arbitrary considerations of such characteristics as age, color, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, marital status, national origin, race, religion, sexual orientation , or veteran status.” The affirmative action policy takes the stance that sexual orientation is an arbitrary consideration The vendor code of conduct expects vendors to be familiar with and adhere to these policies and standards. The vendor code also expects that vendors will treat employees equally regarding all aspects of employment including training and forms of compensation. The goals of the affirmative action policy represent intentions for American Society , not just interactions on campus.

E. The Argument:

E. The Argument If A or B then C If it can be found that a vendor discriminates in any way against a group as outlined in the affirmative action policy and vendor code of conduct or if they promote an outlook contradictory to the one stated in our affirmative action policy, then it is the duty of the University to remove the vendor from any commercial association with the University according to their duties as outlined in the Academic Handbook.

A. License Structure Link:

A. License Structure L ink So we know that 10% goes to Chick- Fil -A from Colleges, some of which goes to the WinShape Foundation. There are 214 licensed locations Image from: http://www.chick-fil-a.com/Licensing/Details

B. IUSB Relationship:

B. IUSB Relationship On Tuesday night we order around 200 sandwiches to sell. Then we mark up the prices to some extent And sell on Wednesday for a profit. Chick- fil -A has no official presence, and no contract. They are an approved vendor like P apa Johns, or Between the Buns. We are not in any way obligated to buy. Yet public funds are continually used to purchase regularly and exclusively from Chick- fil -A

C. Franchisee Funding:

C. Franchisee Funding From Businessmart.com http :// franchises.businessmart.com/how-much-does-a-chick-fil-a-franchise-cost.php “You only need $5000 to get in the game at Chick- Fil -A, but you have to get in line to be considered for one of these Mega-Brands. Chick- Fil -A franchise only selects 75 to 80 of the 10,000 applicants they get each year .” “Chick- fil -A pays for the land, the construction and the equipment. It then rents everything to the franchisee for 15% of the restaurant's sales plus 50% of the pretax profit remaining. In other words, Chick- Fil -A takes 65% of your profit. Most franchise companies take 8%-10% of gross sales .”

C. Franchisee Funding Continued:

C. Franchisee Funding Continued “Although the company considers you a franchisee, it will feel more like a partnership … Training is described as a multi-week, extensive training program that has to be completed prior to opening, and you can't be involved in any other business ventures before, during, or after applying .” “You will not own the land on which your Chick- Fil -A franchise sits , nor will you own the building nor will you be allowed to select the location . Chick- Fil -A carries a thick rulebook …when it comes to their franchises ,” From: http://franchises.businessmart.com/how-much-does-a-chick-fil-a-franchise-cost.php

Slide 47:

From: http:// www.philanthropyroundtable.org /files/Marriage%20Guidebook.pdf This donor profile of WinShape and the CoMission confirms that they are the same organization and that they have donated a massive amount of money.

G. Why? Conclusion.:

G. Why? Conclusion. It is important to establish that there is little to no separation between Chick- fil -A, the WinShape Foundation, and the Marriage CoMission They are located at the same places, run by the same people, share the same resources, and funded from the same sources. You cannot separate the actions, associations, or funding of one from the other. So if it can be found that any of them condone discrimination, Chick- fil -A qualifies for removal. Also if it can be found that their actions are inconsistent with any of our policies, then they should be removed.

WinShape and CFA From: http:// www.prnewswire.com /news-releases/dan-cathy-president-and-coo-of-chick-fil-a-clarifies-recent-news-coverage-114872034.html “Through the years, we have supported our Chick- fil -A staff and franchised Operators in their marriage journey, and since the formation of our family foundation, the WinShape Foundation, we have helped others as well.” Dan Cathy – President and CEO of Chick- fil -A

CEO of Chick-fil-A:

CEO of Chick- fil -A From: http:// www.ajc.com /business/chick-fil-a-counters-821566.html “The company's WinShape Foundation, which has trained hundreds of couples, does not bar gay couples from its marriage retreats or training, Cathy said. But he added that the curriculum is designed for heterosexual couples .” How can a relationship curriculum be designed for heterosexual couples? Isn’t designing a curriculum (that serves as training for employees) for one group and not another group exclusionary.

A. Gay Marriage Exists:

A . Gay Marriage Exists Iowa, Massachusetts, Connecticut – All these states allow gay marriage. Iowa has 6 Chick- Fil -As, Massachusetts has 2. Gay marriage exists in all these states . The homosexual employees would not be allowed to apply for WinShape programming. This is discrimination, not just through WinShape but by Chick- fil -A for supporting them Also discrimination because these are incentives and benefits that homosexual employees of Chick- fil -A are given access to. Moreover, they don’t admit them because they can’t be married, it is an existing policy.

A. Is it Discrimination?:

A . Is it Discrimination? Yes Clearly Chick- Fil -A offering incentives to employees to use its retreat services and making those benefits inaccessible to homosexuals (or at least implicitly designed to exclude them by not being designed for them) is a clear demonstration of discrimination based on sexual orientation. According to Wolfson suppliers are not to discriminate in terms of training or opportunity. Especially since employees could be legally married in some states where Chick- Fil -A operates. This is legal, but it is not consistent with IU policy. And money from each Chick- fil -A order goes to support their actions and perspective

B. Hate Groups:

B. Hate Groups According to the Southern Poverty Law Center http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2010/winter/the-hard-liners “a hard core of smaller groups, most of them religiously motivated, have continued to pump out demonizing propaganda aimed at homosexuals and other sexual minorities…the ‘facts’ they disseminate about homosexuality are often amplified by certain politicians, other groups and even news organizations. Of the 18 groups profiled below, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) will be listing 13 next year as hate groups…Generally, the SPLC’s listings of these groups is based on their propagation of known falsehoods — claims about LGBT people that have been thoroughly discredited by scientific authorities — and repeated, groundless name-calling. Viewing homosexuality as unbiblical does not qualify organizations for listing as hate groups.”

B. Hate Groups Cont.:

B. Hate Groups Cont. Throughout the presentation, I will present evidence provided by the Southern Poverty Law Center regarding hate groups that Chick- fil -A is associated with. Some have said the SPLC is not as good of a resource as the U.S. Justice Department. So in regards to that I found an appropriate Government resource that made recommendations as to Civil Rights groups to be trusted with these issues.

Slide 60:

US Justice Department has recommendations for hate crimes on college campuses. They endorse the following groups for resources on civil rights and hate crime. I will use evidence form these groups to support my claims throughout. From:http ://www.uga.edu/lgbtcenter/pdfs/responding_to_hate_crimes.pdf B .

B. Leadership Conference On Civil Rights:

B. Leadership Conference On Civil Rights It is important to realize that every group mentioned above, along with the Southern Poverty Law Center is a member of the U.S. Justice Department approved Leadership Council On Civil Rights.

Leadership Conference On Civil Rights From: http://www.civilrights.org/about/the-leadership-conference/coalition_members/ “The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights is a coalition charged by its diverse membership of more than 200 national organizations to promote and protect the civil and human rights of all persons in the United States.” - http://www.civilrights.org/about/ Every group we have just discussed is a member of the Civil and Human Rights Coalition according to their website.

C. Pennsylvania Family Institute:

C. Pennsylvania Family Institute This was what first got CFA in trouble A franchisee of Chick- Fil -A donated sandwiches to the Pennsylvania Family Institute for a seminar called The Art of Marriage. The seminar was put on by an organization called Family Life . From : http://www.goodasyou.org/good_as_you/2011/01/if-youre-currently-eating-a-chick-fil-a.html

C. Family Life:

C. Family Life Familylife.com supports the following viewpoint. Article: How do I teach my children about sex so that they will stay pure until they are married? From: (http:// www.familylife.com /site/apps/ nlnet /content3.aspx?c= dnJHKLNnFoG&b =3584679&ct=4638117) “Sex was created to be enjoyed by a man and a woman in marriage . Today our media bombard us with the idea that God created and blesses other kinds of sex, like that practiced by homosexuals . You will need to share with your child that there is a radical homosexual element in our culture saying, "We're going to be in your face. You're going to see us kissing on television and in movies. We want to become acceptable ."

C. The IU policy:

C . The IU policy Remember that according to IU policy, sexual orientation is an arbitrary consideration in the same realm as race. Would we give a second thought to banning a group that said: “ there is a radical [African American] element in our culture saying, "We're going to be in your face. You're going to see us kissing on television and in movies. We want to become acceptable .” or banning a company that endorsed such a belief. Family life is also an official partner of the Marriage CoMission From: http:// www.marriagecomission.com /partners/?title=&state=&group=&topic=0&keywords=

C. Pennsylvania Family Institute:

C. Pennsylvania Family Institute Chick- fil -A had the sponsorship removed from the promotional materials, even though the local franchisee still provided the food donations. T he public outcry and response from the corporate office was enough to have the official Chick- fil -A sponsorship removed.

C. Is it Discrimination? :

C . Is it Discrimination? T he corporate office receives a majority of the profits from Franchisees and maintains a lot of control. So they could easily make a rule and stop this from happening Clearly Family Life and the Pennsylvania Family Institute are prominent in espousing certain beliefs about homosexuality, that they have no right to get married, that it is immoral, and a curable condition. T hese views are not consistent with those of Indiana University, and because they try to spread them throughout American culture, something that IU’s Affirmative Action Policy prohibits, it makes them eligible for removal.

D. Focus on the Family and WinShape:

D. Focus on the Family and WinShape Image from: http://www.WinShapeRetreat.org/index.php/about/our_connections.php Focus on the Family handles programing and is officially associated with the WinShape foundation. Also note that family life (that held the art of marriage) is in their list of connections.

D. Focus on the Family and CoMission:

D. Focus on the Family and CoMission Focus on the Family is an official partner of the CoMission , and therefore WinShape and Chick- fil -A Also WinShape is officially associated with Family Life, the group that held the art of marriage seminars, clearly they knew about the nature of the event, given their connections.

Focus and CFA Cross Promotion From: http:// www.digitalpraise.com / pr /10172005.html “Beginning Oct. 17 [2005]through mid-November, Chick- fil -A restaurants around the U.S. are giving away an interactive Adventures in Odyssey CD-ROM free with every Chick- fil -A Kid's Meal. The disks, developed by Focus on the Family in partnership with Digital Praise, each feature a half-hour episode of Adventures in Odyssey ,” Focus on the Family is one of the largest “ministries” in the United States.

D. Donations:

D. Donations From: http:// equalitymatters.org /blog/201103220005 WinShape has donated $1.1 million to anti-gay groups from 2003-2008 according to the IRS Including $631,600 to the National Christian Foundation. “The national Christian Foundation is a grant-making foundation that has made ‘hundreds of grants’ to anti-gay groups like Focus on the Family , Family Life, and the Family Research Council .”

D. NCF Cont.:

D. NCF Cont. From the above slide it is clear that the NCF allows donors to determine where their money is going. So it is likely that WinShape actually chooses who their money is given to when they donate. This turns the NCF into a money middleman of sorts. It just makes it more difficult to track their contributions Furthermore this information was found in the Reviving Marriage in America Report. Which is a reliable source for info on Chick- fil -A since they are supporters of it.

D. Focus on the Family:

D. Focus on the Family From: http://www.focusonthefamily.com/marriage/facing_crisis/my_spouse_struggles_with_homosexuality.aspx ) “Pam Burnett realized something was amiss when … [her husband] took up running and started to pay an inordinate amount of attention to his physical appearance.” “In his book When Homosexuality Hits Home , Joe Dallas says that many women are attracted to the sensitivity, astute communication skills, vulnerability and easily expressed emotions that often embody temperament commonly found in homosexual men. And that the lack of sexual aggression first seen as a desirable trait may just be a lack of normal sexual interest .” These statements are not consistent with IU policy in that they seek to spread a stereotypical view of homosexuality throughout American society, something that the affirmative action statement prohibits.

E. Citizen Link State Groups:

E. Citizen Link State Groups From: Citizen Link.com Most Importantly is Citizenlink’s official connection to the Pennsylvania Family Institute and Citizens for Community Values. CCV: has also held an event that was officially sponsored by Chick- fil -A. The group is officially associated with two hate groups. More on them in a moment PFI: The Pennsylvania Family Institute is an official affiliate of Focus on the Family . They held the art of marriage seminars that Family Life put on, the lunch sponsorship provided by CFA is not the only support that PFI receives, clearly they receive money from the sales and donations as well.

F. This Has Happened Before:

F. This Has H appened B efore Chick- fil -A has since the incident in Pennsylvania become more sensitive about sponsorships. But they are clearly capable of approving or disapproving official sponsorship of events, regardless of if the sandwiches are donated by the independent franchisees or not. They have been an official sponsor of such events before. They were the official lunch sponsor for an event held by the Citizens for Community Values (CCV). The event and the group itself are officially associated with Focus on the Family, The Family Research Council, and the American Family Association.

H. Top Ten Myths:

H. Top Ten Myths If you click on the top ten myths about homosexuality link on the CCV website you are brought to an article by the Family Research Council (Hate Group)

H. CCV About Us:

H. CCV About Us From: http ://www.ccv.org/about-us / “National Pro-Family Forum on Homosexuality – This group includes representatives from most of the national pro-family organizations and meets every three months, usually in Washington, D.C. The group’s first organized effort was the National Campaign to Protect Marriage that mobilized national and local pro-family leaders in all 50 states to work together to defend traditional “one man-one woman” marriage . However, their major achievement has been The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and other similar laws that were passed in 36 states since 1996 . “

H. CCV on Homosexuality:

H. CCV on Homosexuality From: http ://www.ccv.org/issues/homosexuality/where-do-we-stand/ ”First , CCV definitely is not ‘against homosexuals ,’ those who practice homosexual behavior. We know that homosexual behavior is destructive to the individual and sincerely reach out to assist those individuals caught up in this behavior . Further, while disagreeing with the behavior, we firmly believe that those individuals are entitled to all the rights and freedoms offered to citizens of this community, state and nation. Compassion, respect and sensitivity mark our relationship to those trapped in this behavior .”

H. CCV on Homosexuality Cont.:

H. CCV on Homosexuality Cont. From: http ://www.ccv.org/issues/homosexuality/where-do-we-stand/ ”we believe that the campaign, the militant agenda, of homosexual activist organizations threatens the emotional and physical health, indeed, the very life, of those trapped in such behavior. That agenda also represents one of the greatest threats to our traditional Judeo-Christian family values, and to societal stability as a whole, of our generation. We want all our supporters to understand the facts supporting these beliefs .” “The destructive outcomes associated with homosexual behavior are numerous and they are well documented. Those destructive outcomes include AIDS, a much higher incidence and risk of sexually transmitted diseases, approximately three times the risk of alcoholism and drug abuse, a significantly higher rate of domestic violence and promiscuity, and a shortened life span .”

H. Cont.:

H. Cont. From: http ://www.ccv.org/issues/homosexuality/where-do-we-stand / “Homosexual activists are not simply seeking acceptance of individuals who engage in homosexual behavior. Rather, the primary, clearly stated focus of their agenda is normalization, complete social acceptance, of homosexual relationships and the undermining of the traditional family . Just as we cannot stand by silently and watch individuals lured into a destructive lifestyle, we also cannot stand by silently and watch militant activists chip away at the very foundation of our cultural heritage and our Judeo-Christian belief system .” “One very important part of the homosexual activists’ agenda is to raise the awareness of homosexuality, or simply stated, to talk about homosexuality frequently and loudly . In virtually every area of our lives, the homosexual activists have been successful in raising the homosexual issue. Every one of us has been forced to be a part of the argument regarding homosexuality and marriage; homosexuality and adoption; homosexuality and civil rights; homosexuality and minority status; homosexuality and the armed forces. The list goes on .”

H. Cont.:

H. Cont. From: http ://www.ccv.org/issues/homosexuality/where-do-we-stand / “Consistently , in all of these areas, it is the minority position of the homosexual activists that has been heard most clearly. To a degree, the reason for that lies in the pro-homosexual bias of the entertainment and news media . To a much larger degree, however, the reason lies in the fact that gay and lesbian activists have been able to silence criticism by defining any opposition to the disease of homosexuality as “homophobia . ” “The most influential such organization, and a very well funded one, is GLSEN-Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network. Among other activities, this group organizes homosexual clubs and “gay-straight alliances” in our schools ... The purpose of these clubs is to train gay and lesbian students for activism and to encourage “straight” students to experiment with homosexual behavior as defined above .”

H. CCV and Exodus:

H. CCV and Exodus From: http://equalitymatters.org/blog/201103220005 “The WinShape Foundation works with the Marriage CoMission , a coalition of groups formed in response to the decline of ‘the traditional family in America.’ Since its inception, the CoMission has been supported by anti-gay activists such as Exodus International’s Alan Chambers and Citizens for Community Values ’ Barry Sheets.”

I. Love Won Out:

I. Love Won Out Until 2010 Focus on the Family ran a program called Love Won Out. (which has since been sold to Exodus International) But Focus On The Family has maintained strong ties to Exodus International. From : ( http://www.denverpost.com/ ci_13049629 ) “Focus on the Family gender analyst Melissa Fryrear , a Love Won Out speaker and host, said the ministry still has a great commitment to the issue [Homosexuality] . Fryrear said Focus on the Family will continue to support Love Won Out financially and by providing speakers and marketing support . "Exodus is thrilled with this opportunity as the Love Won Out conference is a natural fit in our ongoing efforts to share the hope we've found," said Alan Chambers, president of Exodus International .”

I. Focus and Exodus:

I. Focus and Exodus Focus on the Family has given continued funding to Exodus I nternational for its events and programing. From official tax reports of focus on the family: http://www.focusonthefamily.com/about_us/financial_reports.aspx According to their tax documents focus on the family gave exodus international $50,000

I. Review:

I. Review So the same group (Focus on the Family) that provides programing to WinShape and the WinShape retreat also provides speakers, support, and funding to Exodus International to run the program “Love Won Out” that they initially started and ran. So what is Exodus International and what is “Love Won Out” the program that Focus on the Family initially started, funded, and continues to support (and indirectly, Chick- Fil -A supports)?

I. Exodus and Family Life:

I. Exodus and Family Life Exodus is also an associate of Family Life, the organization that held the Art of Marriage Seminar, which CFA supported.

I. Exodus International:

I. Exodus International Exodus international had a part in the “Love Won Out” program before they acquired it. From: http:// exodusinternational.org /love-won-out/about-love-won-out/ “At the Love Won Out conference, you’ll hear from nationally known experts who have firsthand experience with the seldom-told side of homosexuality .” “You’ll be equipped to minister in truth and compassion to a loved one who deals with same-sex attractions, respond to misinformation in our culture and defend biblical beliefs with grace and understanding. But mostly, you’ll be encouraged by the power of God’s love and His desire to transform the lives of those impacted by homosexuality and lead people into freedom in Jesus Christ .”

I. Exodus Cont. :

I. Exodus Cont. The Love Won Out program treats homosexuality as something that should be changed or cured. From: http://exodusinternational.org/2009/12/same-sex-marriage / Immutable: not subject or susceptible to change or variation in form or quality or nature. Exodus International itself has the viewpoint that: “Homosexuality is not an immutable trait — therefore, marriage is not a civil right to be granted to anyone who demands it. Over the years, the evidence relied upon by legal scholars concerning ‘civil rights’ protection requires several factors. Those factors include immutable characteristics such as race, gender and disabilities along with widespread pattern and documentation of discrimination because of these immutable characteristics. Furthermore, there must be overwhelming evidence of financial disenfranchisement of these groups as well.”

I. Compared to our Affirmative Action Policy:

I. Compared to our Affirmative Action Policy “Indiana University pledges itself to continue its commitment to the achievement of equal opportunity within the University and throughout American society as a whole…Indiana University prohibits discrimination based on arbitrary considerations of such characteristics as age, color, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, marital status, national origin, race, religion, sexual orientation, or veteran status .” “Homosexuality is not an immutable trait — therefore, marriage is not a civil right to be granted to anyone who demands it… “ civil rights” protection requires several factors. Those factors include immutable characteristics such as race, gender and disabilities along with widespread pattern and documentation of discrimination because of these immutable characteristics. Furthermore, there must be overwhelming evidence of financial disenfranchisement of these groups as well .” From: http://exodusinternational.org/2009/12/same-sex-marriage/ From: http://www.indiana.edu/~affirm/pdf/Policies%20&%20Procedures/EEOAA%20Statement.pdf

I. Contradictions:

I. Contradictions The Viewpoint supported by Exodus International is almost the opposite of IU’s Affirmative Action Policy. According to IU Sexual Orientation should be treated as an arbitrary characteristic (regardless of whether it is immutable or not ). We believe that homosexuality regardless of if it is a choice or not should be treated arbitrarily. It should not be identified as a flaw and treated as a disease. Any organization with this viewpoint, that promotes this viewpoint, is contradicting our (IU’s) intentions for American Society

I. Final Statements From Exodus:

I. Final Statements From Exodus From: http:// exodusinternational.org /2010/01/if-people-are-same-sex-attracted-but-don’t-ever-act-on-it-does-that-make-them-homosexual-what-if-they-do-engage-in-same-sex-physical-intimacy-are-they-homosexual-then On the Question: “ If people are same-sex attracted but don’t ever act on it, does that make them homosexual? What if they do engage in same-sex physical intimacy? Are they homosexual then ?” “No, if a person has same-sex attractions or even acts on them that doesn’t necessarily mean he or she is homosexual. It might help to consider ‘homosexual’ as an adjective describing a behavior rather than as a noun or label defining a person. Dr. Joseph Nicolosi , one of the foremost experts on same-sex attraction and founder of the National Association of Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH) states, ‘Homosexuality is a description of a condition. It is not a description of the intrinsic nature of the person ’ (NARTH’s Statement of Policy ).”

I. Is Race a Condition?:

I. Is Race a Condition? Again IU policy has us treating Race and Sexual Orientation in the same realm as arbitrary considerations. We would condemn immediately any group that described race as a condition. Therefore we should not support a group that believes sexual orientation to be a condition.

J. Love Is Here:

J. Love Is Here The WinShape foundation recently began a program called Love is Here. Which was advertised and associated with the Ruth Institutes Reel Love Challenge program After the WinShape sponsorship was identified, it was removed.

4. Final Review:

4. Final Review A. argument B. Pennsylvania C. WinShape D. Associations E. Conclusion

A. The Argument:

A. The Argument If A, then B. If it can be found that a vendor discriminates in any way against a group as outlined in the affirmative action policy and vendor code of conduct or if they promote an outlook contradictory to the one stated in our affirmative action policy, then it is the duty of the University to remove the vendor from any commercial association with the University according to their duties as outlined in the Academic Handbook.

B. Pennsylvania:

B. Pennsylvania Pennsylvania: The donation for Family Life was not considered against IU policies because it was a franchisee in a different state. But as we have shown, Chick- Fil -A corporate maintains ownership and control over every franchisee, and gets a majority of the profits. Therefore: Any actions or donations by a local Franchisee can be equally credited to Chick- Fil -A corporate because they have a high stake in the business, and require close connections with the Franchisee owners and the overall mission of Chick- Fil -A. Also we have shown that funds from Chick- fil -A sales make it to CitizenLink

B. Pennsylvania cont.:

B. Pennsylvania cont. Funding the event is a clear endorsement of two groups that make it a part of their mission that homosexuality is unacceptable. And they promote that belief throughout American culture. From: http://www.familylife.com/site/apps/nlnet/content3.aspx?c=dnJHKLNnFoG&b=3584679&ct=4638117 “there is a radical homosexual element in our culture saying, ‘We're going to be in your face. You're going to see us kissing on television and in movies. We want to become acceptable .’” Chick- Fil -A has shown an obvious promotion and support for this group by donation. The viewpoint is directly contradictory to that of IU, and makes them ineligible as a vendor for spreading such views.

C. WinShape Foundation:

C. WinShape Foundation Chick- Fil -A has a charitable arm called the WinShape foundation that contractually discriminates against homosexuals in its programing. By excluding homosexuals from their programming. And denying potentially married homosexual employees from using the incentives that Chick- Fil -A has set up for the use of the WinShape Facilities they are directly discriminating against Homosexuals, married and unmarried. This is also a form of employee discrimination because employees don’t get the same benefits of employment as married heterosexual employees. This is direct, targeted discrimination against a group and as such their approved vendor status should be removed for discrimination against potential employees by denying them certain benefits due to sexual orientation.

D. Associations. :

D. Associations. The Chick- fil -A, the WinShape Foundation, and the Marriage CoMission are pretty much the same organization. They work very closely together with the same groups to establish programing for WinShape and products for Chick- Fil -A, and to achieve the CoMission goals Focus on the Family has the perspective that homosexuality is a condition that should be changed, it does not have the perspective that homosexuality is an arbitrary consideration (as IU does). Their position also fuels inappropriate stereotypes about homosexuals.

D. Associations cont.:

D. Associations cont. Focus on the Family ran a program called “Love Won Out” which was focused on changing homosexuals into heterosexuals. The program has since been sold to Exodus International with continued support by Focus On the Family. Exodus international takes a position about homosexuality almost the opposite the one that IU takes in the affirmative action policy. It also takes the standpoint that homosexuality is a negative condition, a condition that should be changed.

D. Associations cont.:

D. Associations cont. Chick- fil -A officially sponsored an event for Citizens for Community Values. The CCV is officially associated with two hate groups the Family Research Council, and American Family Association. These groups have the perspective that homosexuality is a disease. CCV is Focus on the Family’s official family policy council in Ohio

D. Associations Cont.:

D. Associations Cont . CFA ran a program with the National Organization for Marriage’s Ruth Institute. The National Organization for Marriage is also flagged as an anti-gay group. Many of these groups associate with each other and organize political action through out American Society and perpetuate beliefs that spread a discriminatory view of Homosexuality as a curable disease. They spread other inappropriate lies about homosexuality as well.

E. Q and A:

E. Q and A Does Chick- Fil -A, the WinShape foundation and its associates treat homosexuality as an arbitrary consideration? No, they treat it instead as a changeable condition or disease. One that should be changed. Although interpreting arbitrary may be difficult, whenever someone begins treating someone’s sexual orientation as a disease, the threshold has obviously been crossed (is race a disease, is ethnicity, is gender?) Does Chick- Fil -A Discriminate through its programing through WinShape , and its associates? Yes, WinShape marriage, and the WinShape retreat do not allow homosexual couples, married or not, to take part in its programing. And employees of Chick- fil -A who are not married, or who are homosexuals are unable to attend the retreat services.

E. Q and A:

E. Q and A Do the profits from Chick- Fil -A Franchisee sales contribute to the continuation of this perspective and Discrimination? Yes, the profits support the WinShape Foundation and other affiliates and partners which create an environment in which homosexuality is to be treated as a correctable condition. And they also contribute to programing that is meant to directly exclude them based on orientation.

A:

A If A or B then C . If it can be found that a vendor discriminates in any way against a group as outlined in the affirmative action policy and vendor code of conduct or if they promote an outlook contradictory to the one stated in our affirmative action policy, then it is the duty of the University to remove the vendor from any commercial association with the University according to their duties as outlined in the Academic Handbook . A They Discriminate through their programing, and through their contributions, either directly or indirectly through the WinShape Foundation. B They promote an outlook contradictory to the one stated in our affirmative action policy.

C:

C Then C They should be removed as a vendor from IU.

E. The solutions…:

E. The solutions… End the sale of Chick- f il -A sandwiches on Wednesdays at the IU South Bend Grille. Begin to take steps to have them removed as a qualified vendor. Create a review board consisting of Faculty, Staff, and Students to investigate vendor eligibility for future qualified vendors, keeping in mind the line of argument establishes in this presentation.

E. Action:

E. Action Sign the petition at: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/4/end-corporate-funding-of-discrimination-on-campus/ Get involved at your campus with available resources at: http://changecfa.posterous.com/

E. Counter Arguments:

E. Counter Arguments Is this improper discrimination against Chick- fil -A No, as a University we function like any customer would setting standards of purchase, Chick- fil -A is in violation of a number of those standards. So we should stop purchasing from them. If refraining from purchasing something for an established reason is improper discrimination, then we would have a moral obligation to buy everything. Luckily in a capitalist system we have the freedom to establish our own standards and spend money according to our standards. Policies against discrimination are based on personal characteristics which are things that corporations don’t really have.

E. Counter Arguments:

E. Counter Arguments Is this religious discrimination? No, religion is something that we do not discriminate against, but we are not arguing that funding should be retracted because of Chick- fil -A’s beliefs, but because of their actions. Because it is the case that by purchasing from Chick- fil -A will send funds to support views about homosexuality that are inconsistent with our own. Condemning an action that appears religiously inspired is not condemnation of the religion itself.

E. Counter Arguments:

E. Counter Arguments Discrimination based on religion cont. Just because an action is religiously based doesn’t mean that performing it is protected by our non-discrimination policy. You have a right to your beliefs, but you don’t have a right to all the actions that that belief entails. Ex: You have a right to believe that on the first Friday of every month that a human sacrifice should be given, but when that belief becomes action, you become subject to the standards of institutions that say otherwise (the U.S. Government, Indiana University, etc )

E. Counter Argument:

E. Counter Argument Why not let the free market decide? Well the market isn’t really free to begin with. It is not as though Chick- fil -A has any solid presence on campus. Having standards of purchase are part of the free market, IU as an institution is responsible for purchasing the Chick- fil -A, and it should maintain its own standards of purchase.

E. Counter Arguments:

E. Counter Arguments Isn’t use of money a form of free speech? Well I don’t know all the legalese behind this, but apparently political donations are seen as speech more than anything else But if use of money is a form of speech, then I don’t see how our withholding from purchase of Chick- fil -A is a violation of speech. It is our money. And we were never making the case the Chick- fil -A should refrain from doing what it wants with its money. We are making a case about what we should do with our money.
