The mission of the Union College Committee on LGBTQ+ Affairs will be to facilitate the development of a campus community that is equitable and inclusive of all sexual orientations and gender identities. The committee will promote visibility, education, and will advocate for equity and equality for LGBTQ+ issues. In addition to education and advocacy, the committee will also engage in assessment and activism where appropriate. The committee will monitor the campus climate for students, faculty, administrators, and staff who identify as LGBTQ+; will review the policies and programs that might affect our LGBTQ+ community; and will advise and assist the college’s senior leadership on addressing these unique needs and concerns.
The Committee on LGBTQ+ Affairs was established in 2014 under the authority of the Office of the President.
It’s the mission of the Union College Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender, Queer and Questioning (LGBTQ) Ally Program to provide assistance to LGBTQ students and employees and to increase the visibility of faculty, administrator and staff allies. Its goal is to create a supportive environment that confronts hetero-sexism and homophobia and improves acceptance and tolerance throughout the Union campus.

As a coalition of faculty, we will work together with the shared understanding that inclusiveness, equality, and tolerance of differences are all essential for a productive and respectful learning environment. To achieve this form of community, we actively promote: Dialogues across Differences, greater representation of historically underrepresented groups on campus, and the development of global citizenship.
