Dear Friend,

This is to ask your support for the Institute of Gay and Lesbian 
Education, the new school for the gay and lesbian community in 
the Los Angeles area that will open its doors in September of 
this year.  Its purpose, development, and programs are briefly 
described in the enclosed brochure.  There are several ways in 
which you can help us make the Institute a reality and a success:

FUND-RAISING

Although we expect to raise a significant portion of our budget 
from student fees and foundation grants, the bulk of our income, 
especially during this critical formative period, will have to 
come from individual donations.  If you are able to help us with 
a contribution in any amount, please send it to the address below 
(contributions are tax-deductible; checks should be made out to 
GLCSC/WHIGLE).  You can also help us by identifying other poten-
tial donors, or by volunteering to organize fund-raising events.  
If you need further information, please call or write to us.

SPACE

We presently have use of office and limited classroom space made 
available by the City of West Hollywood, but we need further 
classroom space.  Ideally, we would like a suite of 3-5 class-
rooms accommodating 15-30 persons (to be used mostly or entirely 
on evenings and weekends), plus an office for full-time use, 
within the City of West Hollywood or closely adjacent.  Parking 
should be available at the site or locally.  Please let us know 
if you can make such space available or can give us leads to 
finding it.

OFFICE SET-UP

We need basic office equipment such as a word-processor, FAX 
machine, photocopier, and filing cabinets.  Later we will need 
class-room furniture, black- or white-boards, projectors and 
screens, etc.

VOLUNTEER HELP AND SERVICES

We need volunteer help in the office, with developing mailing 
lists, course listings and other databases, with helping network 
to other gay and lesbian organizations and individuals, with 
legal, graphical and printing work, and with advertising.  Please 
let us know if you can offer your time, skills, or services.

TEACHING

A request for course proposals has been formulated in a separate 
letter.  If you are interested in teaching and need a copy, let 
us know.


We look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Colleague,

We believe that you may be interested in participating in teach-
ing at the Institute of Gay and Lesbian Education.  This letter 
is to ask you to submit a course proposal.

The school opens in September of this year.  The accompanying 
brochure describes its aims and structure.  Since we hope to 
offer about 50-60 semester-long courses during the first academic 
year, we need about this number of faculty to teach them; more if 
some of the courses are team-taught.

Your course should fit in one of the categories listed in the 
brochure.  As an aid to formulating your proposal, we include a 
sample proposal.  While yours does not have to be this detailed, 
the more concrete your ideas the easier time we will have evalu-
ating it.  In addition to the proposal, we need a copy of your 
C.V. [ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE HECK A C.V. IS?] Also, let us know if 
there is a particular time of year when you cannot teach.  Most 
of the classes will be held in the evening or on weekends, but 
daytime classes will be held if there is a market for them.  We 
plan to pay faculty on a per-session basis at a modest rate; more 
details on this later.

Although our primary offerings will be semester-long courses, we 
are open to other ideas, e.g. single-session or half-semester 
classes, professional continuing-education events, off-site 
events or field-trips, retreats, etc.  One of our main assets is 
our freedom from heterocentric regulation, so don't be afraid to 
think creatively.  Also, if you have an interest in teaching a 
particular area but don't have the time or expertise to develop a 
whole course, we may be able to put you in touch with potential 
collaborators.

Proposals will be evaluated by the Steering Committee, with a 
view to constructing a coherent, balanced program that best 
fulfills the school's aims.  Please understand that in light of 
the large number of potential faculty that have expressed and 
interest in participating, we may well have to be selective in 
what is offered, particularly in the first semester.

We undertake to treat your proposal as your own intellectual 
property, and not to distribute it beyond the committee without 
your approval.


We look forward to hearing from you.

[Signed]
Simon LeVay
