This book will guide institutions of higher learning in making
practical and effective changes at many levels to better support LGBTQ
students and, ultimately, improve the campus climate for all. For
college students with marginalized gender identities and sexual
orientations, simply getting through a day of study—not to mention
work, exercise, and social life—can be taxing in the extreme, due to
the additional weight of minority stress. However, there are many
steps higher education leaders can take, both to boost students’
resilience and to dismantle the very structures that create minority
stress. These steps may involve changes to facilities, student health
and resource centers, housing, administrative policy, faculty
training, curriculum, and other areas. This book presents
research-based needs assessment frameworks and best practices for
integrating a broad array of institutional changes to improve LGBTQ
students’ higher education experience. Chapters describe student
populations with multiple intersecting identities: transgender
students, students of color, students with disabilities, student
athletes, international students, and first-generation college
students. The authors also address issues unique to different
settings, including community colleges, religious institutions, and
historically Black colleges and universities.
