October 2024 Network Updates

In the 2023-24 academic year, the Network renewed its commitment to improving equity and inclusivity across California State University campuses. With a combination of virtual and in-person activities, we facilitated meaningful dialogue and action, focusing on critical issues such as LGBTQIA2S+ student success, the historical impacts of the Brown v. Board of Education decision, and systemic barriers to equity. Thanks to robust participation and feedback from CSU students, staff, faculty, and administrators, the Network not only continued to build on its established foundations of support and collaboration but also responded to pressing challenges within California's higher education systems.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Middle Leadership Academy (AMLA) and the search for its first Director. A collaboration between the CSU Asian American, Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander Student Achievement Program (CSU ASAP) and the Network, the AMLA is now accepting applications for the position of AMLA Director from CSU classified staff, exempt APC union members, MPPs, and faculty.

This fall, the Network launched new Communities of Practice (ComPs) to address key areas impacting LGBTQIA2S+ students. These ComPs focus on improving basic needs through more accurate SOGI data collection, advocating for gender centers that support neurodivergent identities, and creating gender-affirming campuses. Each ComP is dedicated to gathering insights and making recommendations that ensure campuses can provide more inclusive, equitable support for LGBTQIA2S+ students.
