Pet vs Domestic Partner Benefits: Part II

A few months ago, I wrote a post about Palm Beach Community College offering pet health insurance, but abstaining from establishing benefits for partner benefits. Here is an update from Insidehighered.org:

The board of Palm Beach Community College has approved an 18-month pilot program to offer domestic partner benefits for employees, The Sun Sentinel reported. The college’s board has previously rejected proposals to add the benefit, or delayed a vote, and many advocates for gay rights were furious at the college last year when, after refusing to approve partner benefits, the college added a benefit for pet health insurance.

Little baby steps is progress, I suppose.
