For Hartwick College's President, an Unexpectedly Good Fit
June 13, 2010
As one of the nation's first openly lesbian couples living with children in a college president's home, the two walk a fine line. They are proud to be together, but they are careful not to make their partnership a political statement. Although colleges are known as liberal places that have long embraced LGBT student groups and queer studies, it is still very unusual for a campus to have an openly gay or lesbian leader. The number of openly gay presidents has been inching up, but they still account for just 20 or so of more than 4,000 nonprofit and for-profit college leaders nationwide.
