Diversity

Equal Rights and Opportunity for Everyone

I am committed to equal rights for all regardless of race, religion, gender or sexual orientation and I have authored many pieces of legislation to ensure those rights including equal rights for domestic partners.

In funding the University of Minnesota, I included special appropriations for the cost of programs to preserve and teach the Ojibwe and Dakota languages.

I have supported legislation to provide fair funding for all schools regardless of location or of the populations served in order to meet different needs of diverse populations.

I helped create one tuition level in selected community and technical colleges to increase access for all Minnesotans.
