First research into experiences of LGBT staff and students in HE to be unveiled

Over 4000 lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans staff and students responded to ECU's survey into the experiences of LGB and T people in higher education. The findings of the research will be launched at a prestigious conference, and promise to provide an invaluable evidence-base for the sector.
