About the LGBTQ+ Task Force

Comprised of faculty and staff, the LGBTQ+ Task Force makes ongoing assessment of attitudes and conditions throughout 红领巾瓜报 regarding LGBTQ+ issues. The LGBTQ+ Task Force also makes recommendations for changes and seeks implementation of these recommendations on issues, such as (1) the University-wide environment for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning (LGBTQ+) students, staff and faculty; (2) appropriate supportive services for such students, staff and faculty; (3) educational programs for the entire University community; (4) other matters affecting the lives of LGBTQ+ community members at 红领巾瓜报; (5) opportunities for working collaboratively and in conjunction with other departments and organizations.
