     employees against discrimination on sexual orientation.

[3]  Although non-discrimination laws cover this organization, the
     organization has not changed its own policy to reflect this.

[4]  Policy states "does not _unlawfully_ discriminate on the basis
     of [...] sexual orientation," but organization is not covered by
     local or state law.  (Emphasis added.)

     Benefits apply to faculty/staff.

[6]  Applies only to organization, and not to member stations.

  discrimination based on sexual orientation province-wide.
