This handbook is intended for faculty and administrators who wish
to create a welcoming and safe environment for all lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender students on our campuses. It will help
readers, even those who may struggle personally with understanding
non-heterosexual identities, gain a clearer understanding of the
important issues facing these students. While some students arrive
on campus with full clarity about their sexual identities, others
may just be discovering their orientations while in our
institutions. It is difficult to provide the attention LGBT
students need if we do not understand the crises affecting them or
how to address them. Each chapter analyzes specific issues
affecting these students and offers recommendations or suggestions
for change. Some of the areas discussed include: identity
development theories, residence halls, career planning, health and
counseling centers, HIV/AIDS, and student leadership and
organizational development. Non-heterosexual faculty and staff may
also find this work useful as they attempt to discover themselves
in academic and educational literature. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
transgender students are on our campuses. They are either
discovering their orientations while in our institutions or
arriving with full clarity about their sexual identities. It is
difficult to provide the attention these students need if we do not
understand the issues or how to address them. This handbook is a
guide to providing services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
transgender students. It is for all faculty and administrators,
especially those who may struggle personally with understanding
non-heterosexual identities, who wish to create a safe and
welcoming environment for all students. Non-heterosexual faculty
and staff may also find this work useful as they attempt to
discover themselves in academic and educational literature. Each
section presents an area in which questions usually arise. Chapters
within the sections dissect specific issues and, where appropriate,
offer recommendations for change. Some of those areas include:
identity development theories; residence halls; career planning;
health and counseling centers; HIV/AIDS; students with
disabilities; same-sex dating and domestic violence; athletics;
fraternities; student leadership; speakers' bureaus and safe zone
programs; commuter schools and church-related institutions; and
Internet resources.
