S c h o o l D is t r ic t P e r m it s R e c r u i t e r s he Portland Public Schools board voted unanimously April 8 to lift a 7-year-old ban on military recruiters, The Associated Press reports. The policy was established in 1995 T because of the armed forces’ discriminatory stance against gay and lesbian soldiers. President Bush signed an education bill in January that threatens to pull financing from districts that restrict recruiters’ access to stu dents. With Portland’s schools already suffering from immense budgetary woes, the board had no choice but to comply with the federal mandate. Six B a n k s H o n o r e d asic Rights Oregon presented the ninth annual Fair Workplace Awards to six banks April 10 in recognition of their commitment to providing equal benefits for all employees. The honorees were Albina Community Bank, Bank of America, Key Bank, U .S. Bank, Washington Mutual and Wells Fargo. The awards presentation was part of the Ore gonians Against Discrimination Luncheon held at the Hilton Hotel. About 500 businesspeople, legislators and community members attended the event. “This year’s honorees are leaders in the finan cial services industry because of their continued commitment to fairness,” said Roey Thorpe, BRO executive director. “They are a shining example for other companies in Oregon to follow.” The luncheon is a fund-raiser for the Fair Workplace Project, which provides advice for employers that have legal obligations to include sexual orientation and gender identity in their nondiscrimination policies. In many other situ ations, BRO collaborates with companies that are not required to follow such laws but have the desire to be friendlier and fairer for everyone.
