The Chronicle News Blog: Scholars Boycott Annual Meeting of National Communication Association
More than 300 members of the National Communication Association are boycotting the Manchester Grand Hyatt Hotel, in San Diego, where the association is scheduled to begin its annual meeting on Friday.
The group is staging the boycott to protest a $125,000 donation by the hotel’s owner, Douglas Manchester, to a group called ProtectMarriage.com, which backed Proposition 8, a ballot measure approved by California voters on November 4. Proposition 8, which was designed to reverse a California Supreme Court decision that allowed same-sex marriage, says that “only marriage between a man and a woman is valid” in California.
