The OU Faculty Senate has released a statement condemning comments from OU Board of Regents member Kirk Humphreys relating homosexuality to pedophilia and calling for Humphreys' resignation from the board.
Humphreys said on a Dec. 10 airing of the KFOR talk show Flashpoint that "if (homosexuality) is OK, then it's OK for everybody and quite frankly it's OK for men to sleep with little boys if it's OK."
At its Dec. 11 meeting, the senate voted to release the following statement:
Student leaders and OU administration, including the Board of Regents, have also released statements denouncing Humphreys' comments and calling for his resignation. OU's Queer Student Association also released an open letter with hundreds of supporters calling for Humpreys' immediate resignation from the Board of Regents.
There will be a 2:30 p.m. protest calling for Humphreys' resignation at the regularly scheduled Board of Regents meeting at 3:30 p.m. Dec. 12.
