A Maryland university employee has been reinstated after spending three months on administrative leave for signing a petition to allow locals to vote on same-sex "marriage" in the state.
"The work of the University's Office of Diversity and Inclusion is vital and must continue in an active and vibrant way," said T. Alan Hurwitz, president of Gallaudet University, which serves the deaf and hard of hearing.
According to the Associated Press, Hurwitz explained in a brief Jan. 7 statement to the campus community that Dr. Angela McCaskill was being returned to the position of Chief Diversity Officer.
"I personally look forward to working with Dr. McCaskill on the work of that office," he said.
