Important Student Input Needed:
We are looking for student input on LGBTQ issues (especially Trans issues) in student housing that should be addressed by the University. Such things may include facility issues or resource issues. Also, we are gathering information to help reassess SOAR and recruitment issues with LGBTQ students. If you would like to contribute, feel free to comment on this blog, or e-mail me at erezny (at) wisc (dot) edu and I will compile them for a report at the next committee meeting. Thanks!
As for a summary of our meeting:
We discussed the need for a report that assessed progress made on campus LGBTQ issues, along with a similar report from Housing. This would allow the committee to better focus on issues that still needed work.
We decided to test out the new Allies program "Opening Doors" for ourselves, hoping that it may be a great way to train students, house fellows, and even faculty in LGBTQ inclusivity.
We also discussed the LGBT certificate program and it's future needs. More information will be gathered for the next committee meeting.
To be discussed next meeting are: SOAR and Recruitment issues, trans-inclusivity, housing issues, and the LGBT Certificate program
