Gay College Presidents to Meet in Chicago

Noted: The groupâ??s planning committee of four presidents started by thinking of all the openly gay and lesbian chief executives in American higher education that they couldâ??a total of only 21. That number is larger, however, than the 11 identified by The Chronicle in 2007. And there are several recent hires among them, including presidents at Grinnell College and Montgomery College. Perhaps most notable was the 2008 hiring of Carolyn A. (Biddy) Martin, chancellor of the University of Wisconsin at Madison.
