Former InterVarsity Treasurer Steven Jackson, who felt pressured to resign from his post in December because he is gay, and Senate Chair Darwinson Valdez, who made the official ruling to de-recognize IVCF as a result in April, spoke with The Spectrum and responded to IVCF's Sunday re-recognition by the Student-Wide Judiciary. Jackson supports the decision.
Senate Chair Darwinson Valdez, who could not be present at the final hearing, emailed his letter to the Student-Wide Judiciary to The Spectrum. All words are his own, edited only for grammar and clarity.

InterVarsity was de-recognized by the Senate at the end of the Spring 2012 semester after homosexual treasurer Steven Jackson felt pressured to resign from his post. "It was definitely a pressured [resignation]...They made it clear that they felt like I should step down and kind of made me uncomfortable enough to the point where I just wanted to leave," Jackson told The Spectrum in Dec.
