LGBTQ+

Abstract

This chapter discusses some of the challenges and potential solutions for better treatment and inclusion of LGBTQ+ persons (lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer students and staff) in higher education. The chapter provides a theoretical background on the understanding of the LGBTQ+ categories, as well as the ethical questions relating to the treatment of LGBTQ+ persons in contemporary societies. Specific issues surrounding LGBTQ+ in higher education are discussed under the broader categories of discrimination, lack of knowledge, bias, and representation. Practical solutions for improving the situation of LGBTQ+ persons in higher education are suggested.
