Targeted Recruitment of GLBT Students by Colleges and Universities
Cegler, Tyler D.
Journal of College Admission, n215 p18-23 Spr 2012
The recruitment and admission practices of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) students by admission offices in higher education are examined as an emerging trend. Limited research on the targeted recruitment and hopeful admission and matriculation of the LGBT prospective student populations exists. Third-party GLBT organizations have provided the greatest support and push for open information on campus climates. A small handful of institutions, including the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Southern California, are actively engaged in the targeted recruitment of BTLG students. For this article, the GLBT acronym may be used in part or in any order. Recommendations on how to best and safely engage this student population are proffered. The ethical implications of engaging with a student population claiming an invisible and often violently oppressed identity should be of highest concern to admission and other higher education professionals.
