 Scope and Content

The collection contains reports, memos, reports, correspondence, and research materials from the work of the University of Minnesota GLBT Task Force.

 Historical Note about the GLBT Task Force

In 1990 University of Minnesota President Nils Hasselmo appointed a Select Committee for Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Concerns to investigate the campus climate as experienced by lesbians, gays, and bisexuals. In 1993 the Select Committee made five essential recommendations to address discrimination and improve campus climate for GLBT people at the University in “Breaking the Silence,” a report documenting the results of its campus climate research. The first recommendations was to establish a GLBT Programs Office which was done in December 1993 when Beth Zemsky was hired as founding director of newly established University GLBT Programs Office.

In 2000 University Provost Robert Bruininks appointed the GLBT Task Force to report on the status of the 1993 recommendations to improve campus climate, as well as to evaluate the current campus climate. Marjorie Cowmeadow and June Nobbe were co-chairs of the Task Force.
