About the LGBTQ+ Task Force
Comprised of faculty and staff, the LGBTQ+ Task Force makes ongoing assessment of
attitudes and conditions throughout Wichita State University 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 Wichita State University; (5) opportunities
for working collaboratively and in conjunction with other departments and organizations.
