For Gay Academics, Benefits for Partners Have a Financial and Emotional Impact.
Wilson, Robin
Chronicle of Higher Education, v45 n23 pA10-A12 Feb 12 1999

However, the impacts on enrollees' lives can be substantial. Most institutions require domestic partners to complete lengthy forms to establish a strong commitment. (MSE)
