Chinh Le, a faculty member at Seton Hall Law School, won confirmation Wednesday as director of the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights after an outpouring of testimonials to rebut two Union County senators who complained his resume lacked evidence of commitment to gay rights.

The Civil Rights Commission voted 6-to-0 — with a member employed by the two senators abstaining — to approve Attorney General Anne Milgram’s nomination of Le to replace Acting Director C. Carlos Bellido.
