At public institutions, we find the same paucity of LGBT presidents as we do board members. Private universities and colleges, however, are choosing some openly gay or lesbian presidents. In fact Roosevelt University’s president, Charles R. Middleton, has created the “LGBTQ Presidents in Higher Education” (www.lgbtqpresidents.org), which now has 48 members, mostly from private institutions. Middleton is a highly respected leader who many believe would have contended for an Ivy League presidency, but for the “gay glass ceiling” To help support Middleton’s higher education aims, we are forming the “LGBTQ Trustees in Higher Education,” albeit a small group at this time.
