The Bowling Green State University Faculty Senate Tuesday afternoon passed a resolution calling for BGSU a Welcoming Campus.
The vote was 46-6 in favor.
The resolution as presented represented a somewhat softer version of the sanctuary campus proposal discussed earlier.
The resolution was further changed by striking a provision calling for Homeland Security, Border Patrol and Immigrant and Customs officials on campus for recruiting to be in plain clothes and unarmed.
Unlike in previous meetings President Mary Ellen Mazey did not state opposition to the resolution in her remarks at the beginning of the meeting.
Afterward she said she would have to talk with members of her cabinet including university counsel before stating whether she approved of the resolutions.
The use of the term “welcoming” instead of “sanctuary” was both to align with Not In Our Town and to evade sanctions being proposed against sanctuary communities.
