Touro University Gay-Straight Alliance (TUGSA) is a group of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) medical students, staff, and faculty and allies at Touro University, a Jewish-sponsored university in California founded by Bernard Lander. The group was formally recognized by the Student Government of Touro in September 2002 and has been a University sanctioned club since that time, with the exception of 4 days in September of 2006. History Touro student demonstration. 11 Sept 2006 In September 2006, the charter of the Touro University Gay-Straight Alliance was revoked by the administration of Touro University. After 5 years of funding and recognition, the group was told their budget would be de-funded. The school cited "inconsistences between the group's mission and Jewish law." On Sept 11, 2006, students, faculty and staff of Touro University protested the revokation of the TUGSA charter. They were joined by representatives from the American Medical Student Association, the Gay Lesbian Medical Association and two members of the Vallejo City Council. In a letter written to Touro University dated Sept 11, 2006, Stephanie Gomes and Gary Cloutier of the Vallejo City Council stated "The fact that Touro has elected to deny the gay student group recognition under a publicly stated rationale that is transparently discriminatory and based on a tired cliché will make supporting future Touro initiatives highly problematic." The San Francisco Board of Supervisors adopted an agenda item urging Touro to reconsider its actions.[1][2][3] Under pressure from the San Francisco Board of Supervisors[4], the Vallejo City Council, the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association[5], and the American Medical Student Association[6] the school quickly reversed its decision and restored the group's funding.[7] After 4 days of protest, Touro University provost Harvey Kaye stated that the LGBT student group's charter had not been revoked. In a letter to the Vallejo City Council dated Sept 11, 2006, he stated, "In my capacity as provost, I apologize on behalf of the university that this controversy has arisen, and trust that my letter will lay this matter to rest." In May 2008, Michael Harter, PhD, senior provost and CEO for Touro University said the executive team at the university never took any action to rescind funding for the gay-straight alliance and was not in agreement with the comments made by the university administrator at the student government meeting. “ It’s clear to me that the administration had not taken a position on the matter and, when they were eventually confronted with the issue, they did not take any action against the student group.[8] ” This is the second major incidence of a Gay-Lesbian-Transgender student group being banned from a US med school. The first occurred at New York Medical College in Valhalla, NY in the Fall of 2004. The situation garnered national media attention in the US. The Gay and Lesbian Medical Association and the American Medical Student Association spearheaded a campaign to raise awareness of the issue. NYMC came under an immense pressure from the Westchester County government, as well as other academic institutions with which it had affiliations, including Pace University Law School.[9] The Student Government association of NYMC, the faculty Senate, and the American Medical Students Association all also passed resolutions in support of the Gay and Lesbian student group. After a year of focused pressure, the school restored funding to the group.[citation needed] References ^ Buchanan, Wyatt. Gay rights group's charter is revoked.
