The LGBT Campus Resource Center Director: The New Profession in Student Affairs

Abstract

Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Campus Resource Centers (LGBT CRCs) are new service units in the field of student affairs. LGBT CRC directors who are members of the National Consortium of Directors of LGBT Resources in Higher Education were surveyed to learn about their education, salary, operation budgets, and other pertinent issues with which to identify and document a growing new profession. The paper describes the qualifications of full-time directors of LGBT CRCs, identifies important issues relevant to this new career option in student affairs, and adds to the literature on the topic.
