Open Doors is a student organization at Ohio Northern University (ONU) that focuses on issues relating to gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, and questioning people, and their straight allies (GLBTQA). Our mission is to promote awareness, foster diversity, provide support, and above all educate the ONU community and others on issues relating to GLBTQA people.
Weekly meetings are on Mondays at 9 pm McIntosh Board Room and everyone is welcome.

i'm a gay alumni (class of 77). i was considering a significant gift to the university, but before i do so, i'd like to know from you folks if the school is being fair to gay and lesbian students, and if there are any policies that you'd like changed. if so, please let me know what they are, and i'll see if i can make my donation based on them making the appropriate changes.
thanks
tom (i'll provide my complete info once i hear back from you. i'm not closeted, but just careful).

Fri, 09/16/2011 - 9:57am — Barry (not verified)I am also a gay alumni. I have also thought about a gift to the university from my trust. I have had discussion with those in Administration and Devlopment and have made several larger annual contributions and am still considering something larger in the future. I have been able to talk to some faculty and staff and am satisfied that Northern is LGBT friendly for the most part. Feel free to get back to me if you want more specifics.

Current ONU Environment
Thu, 06/16/2011 - 9:22am — r-finke.1The tension between homosexual and heterosexual students have gotten a lot better since I have been attending ONU since 2008. We still have incidences of outbursts against ONU LGBT students, but what can you expect when dealing with a primarily ignorant heterosexual campus. We are actually trying to start a LGBT Resource Center to provide better services for the LGBT students, but that requires the school giving us resources they currently dont have. Is it possible to direct some of that gift towards Open Doors to help us start such a center? Please feel free to email me r-finke.1@onu.edu.
Thanks, Ryan
Open Doors President
