Paperback. This book will guide institutions of higher learning in making practical and effective changes at many levels to better support LGBTQ+ students and, ultimately, improve the campus climate for all. For college students with marginalized gender identities and sexual orientations, simply getting through a day of study-not to mention work, exercise, and social life-can be taxing in the extreme, due to the additional weight of minority stress. However, there are many steps higher education leaders can take, both to boost students amp rsquo resilience and to dismantle the very structures that create minority stress. These steps may involve changes to facilities, student health and resource centers, housing, administrative policy, faculty training, curriculum, and other areas. This book presents research-based needs assessment frameworks and best practices for integrating a broad array of institutional changes to improve LGBTQ+ students amp rsquo higher education experience. Chapters describe student populations with multiple intersecting identities: transgender students, students of color, students with disabilities, student athletes, international students, and first-generation college students. The authors also address issues unique to different settings, including community colleges, religious institutions, and historically Black colleges and universities. Higher education institutions can create supportive campus climates for LGBTQ and marginalized students by reducing minority stress. Research-based strategies guide changes in policies, facilities, housing, health services, and curricula, empowering diverse groups including transgender and students of color to excel. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability. …
