The Los Angeles Times reported in the Friday, May 21 1993
edition thtat Harvard University said it will
extend health insurancee coverage to the partners and children
of its homosexual faculty and staff membvers.  A faculty-staff
scommittee endorsed the move earlier this week. The coverage
for "same sex" domestic partenerships equivalent to marriage
may be available as early as the next bnefit enrollment period
in November.  Toqualify , couples must register in Cambridge
or anouther city that recognizes same-sex marriages.

This is great news for those of use us who are at schollls 
or institutions that are trying to do the same.  Maybe those
of us at Caltech can use this as leverage, since Harvard is
more attractive now with these kinds of benefits.  Caltech 
might be more competitive if they did the same.
