• To work actively to eliminate the overt and covert oppression of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons within ACPA and on college and university campuses.
• To protect and advocate for the basic human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students and colleagues.
• To provide support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender members, as well as allies by reducing professional isolation.
