The LGBTQ Caucus is composed of lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgendered, queer, and allied straight USF faculty, staff, graduate
students, and alumni/ae. The mission of the organization is to promote
LGBTQ scholarship, community, and social justice. The Caucus' activities
are grounded in the Jesuit and world religions traditions of respect for the
dignity of every person and the use of reasoned discourse toward the pursuit of
truth.

USF's policy of nondiscrimination based on sexual orientation by pressing
for a welcoming and diverse academic, living, and work environment

and facilitating connections across LGBTQ groups on USF's campus
- Maintaining
and expanding a network of USF LGBTQ alumni/ae
