The full-time LGB Rights Officer will take office on the first of July. USI believes that being LGB need not be an issue at all in college, but we understand this can depend on circumstances. Either way, it shouldn't negatively affect a student's participation in and enjoyment of their time at college.
Students discover, develop and express their individuality during their college years.
Their sexuality is just one of the ways in which they are individuals. In their time at college, students meet people from a whole range of backgrounds, with many different viewpoints and life experiences. College should be a place to celebrate that diversity. The creation of a full-time LGB Rights Officer is a practical commitment to achieving that goal. The campaign has a proud history of promoting equality and inclusion for LGB students and in doing so challenging prejudices and stereotypes.
