We are saddened and outraged at the senseless gun violence that has once again shattered the safety and security of college students and staff–this time at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Our hearts are with the victims and the whole UNLV community. These abhorrent acts of violence harm those killed and wounded, their loved ones, and entire communities. As leaders in higher education we know the importance of safe spaces for people to learn, teach, and work.
LGBTQ Leaders in Higher Education stands in solidarity, support, and love for our communities around the country.
LGBTQ Leaders in Higher Education began in 2010 as a networking group of out LGBTQ presidents and chancellors. The organization incorporated in 2012 as LGBTQ Presidents in Higher Education. Membership is open to leaders at all levels of responsibility at colleges and universities, and associated higher education organizations, in the United States.
