Safe Out-Post Program

The mission of Long Island University is to provide access and excellence in private higher education to people from all backgrounds, who seek to expand their knowledge and prepare themselves for meaningful, educated lives and for service to their communities and the world. To that end, the Safe Out-Post Program sends a message that all sexual orientations and gender presentations are part of our culture and are acknowledged and supported. The Safe Out-Post Program provides a visible network of allies for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and other individuals seeking information and assistance regarding sexual orientation, gender identity, harassment, and/or discrimination concerns.
