• Retired U.S. Air Force Major Margaret Witt, equal rights advocate and decorated veteran, will discuss her history-making legal challenge of the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy and her ongoing equal-rights advocacy 6 pm Thursday, April 5, in Lane Community College’s Center for Meeting and Learning, Building 19 on the main campus. During her career in the Air Force, Witt logged nearly 2,000 hours as a flight nurse before she was suspended in 2004 and faced dismissal under “don’t ask, don’t tell.” She legally challenged the discharge and made history in 2010 when the courts ruled the dismissal violated her constitutional rights and ordered her reinstatement. Her legal fight helped lead to the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Repeal Act of 2010.
