Since Suicide, More Resources for Transgender and Gay Students; New York Times, 9/21/12

Ariel Kaminer, New York Times; Since Suicide, More Resources for Transgender and Gay Students: "...[Ttoday, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students and their supporters can choose from four specialized housing options, three of them new, ranging from a service to pair them with like-minded roommates to Rainbow Perspectives, a floor in a residence hall organized around common interests. They can now turn for support to the 130 staff and faculty members who have been trained as official campus liaisons, or to the graduates of a new training program for “allies,” whose inaugural session is already booked to capacity. This year’s edition of a handbook that lists campus resources for “queer issues” is 92 pages long."

Gay rights group calls for safety at Rutgers; Seattle Times via Record (Hackensack, NJ), 10/25/10

Stephanie Akin and Hannan Adely, Seattle Times via Record (Hackensack, NJ); Gay rights group calls for safety at Rutgers:

"A gay rights group, citing what it called a "hidden population of Tyler Clementis," asked the Rutgers University administration to do more to ensure gay students' safety on campus.

"What we want is to address the issue of this hidden population that is hidden because of a lack of understanding of what they are dealing with," said Robert T. O'Brien, an assistant instructor of anthropology and one of the co-founding members of the group, Queering the Air."
