3. We work with campus and community partners to advocate for meaningful 2SLGBTQIA+ representation at all levels of our Universities; 

4. We work with relevant others across our Universities, including the various bargaining units, to ensure equitable treatment in promotion and job opportunities, and a welcoming work environment that is free of discrimination and microaggressions, particularly in relation to sexual orientation and gender identity;

5. We advocate for change across our Universities, including the development and amendment of policies impacting upon the lived experience of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities;

6. We work in collaboration with other Staff and Faculty Caucuses to address institutional barriers faced by 2SLGBTQIA+ communities with intersecting identities and experiences;

7. We advocate for expanded curricular offerings reflecting 2SLGBTQIA+ experiences, the creation of learning environments in which 2SLGBTQIA+ students can thrive, and supported scholarly and research activities, incorporating Queer Studies.
