==The Vagina Monologues at Gonzaga University== In 2002 the first major proposal to host the Vagina Monologues at Gonzaga University, resulted in a decision by then- President Father Robert Spitzer, S.J., to ban the performance. After a vote, the Gonzaga Board of Trustees supported Spitzer’s decision. Father Spitzer retired as president in 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.krem.com/news/local/Gonzaga-to-ban-Vagina-Monologues-again-88253682.html News, S. (2010, M )〕 In 2010, students accompanied by faculty and the Women’s and Gender Studies department again proposed the Vagina Monologues performance on campus. After deliberation and discussion among Gonzaga’s administration, it was reported on March 19, 2010 that Interim President Thayne McCulloh, although in support of the Monologues, would uphold the decision of Father Spitzer’s 2002 ban. McCulloh stated in an email to the University that he “could not ignore the historical context that informs review of the current proposal.” As a result of Dr. McCulloh’s decision, the supporters of the Vagina Monologues held on campus protests the day the play was originally scheduled to be performed. The play was performed instead at an off-campus location.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.speroforum.com/a/29999/Vagina-Monologues-banned-at-Catholic-university-in-Spokane )〕 In March 2011, it was announced that for the first time in Gonzaga University’s history, the Vagina Monologues will be allowed on campus.
