Chancellor's Task Force on LGBT Issues

Mission

The Chancellor’s Task Force on LGBT Issues is a campus committee whose members are representative of campus constituencies.  Its function is to offer advice and assistance to the Chancellor, Provost and Equal Opportunity Officer ensuring that the voices of LGBT employees and students are heard and that equal opportunities for LGBT employees and students continue to be carried out as fundamental responsibilities of the institution and are carried out appropriately in all aspects of employment and student life.  The task force meets on a monthly basis.

The task force also provides support for the Safe Zone Program. The program provides a safe, comfortable setting for members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community to speak freely and openly about issues they may be having.  All discussions will be strictly confidential and topics will be addressed in a non-threatening and non-judgmental manner.

For more information on the Chancellor’s Task Force on LGBT Issues or to receive Safe Zone training contact Kim Simes at 262-472-1939, simesk@uww.edu.
