Hazel Park has joined the cities of Ferndale and Ypsilanti in formally opposing Proposal 2. Several Detroit City Council members have come out against the proposal. In an Oct. 11 memo, Wayne State President Irvin D. Reid declared that the University will fight to keep domestic partnership benefits for their employees should the discriminatory amendment pass. According to Reid\'s memo, \"While the scope of the proposed Constitutional Amendment is uncertain, Wayne State University will continue to offer domestic partner benefits and defend its right to do so. The University\'s Board of Governors fully supports the administration\'s position on this matter.\"
