currently, there is a queer alliance student group and a queer resource center on campus. the queer resource center is an informational and advocacy resource center for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, gender queer, intersex, questioning, and straight allies. the queer resource center aims to empower and celebrate its demographic as well as its community, part of which they have supported the addition of new queer studies classes and a new queer-focused associate degree in 2019. the center has participated in anti-violence, anti-homophobia, and anti-transphobia rallies and workshops. the center has struggled with funding although this has caught the attention of politicians, notably the green party, whose candidate for board of trustees john rizzo promised in 2006 funds for more lgbt studies and the queer resource center.
