Wouldn a community center duplicate services provided by the IU GLBT office?
In general, IU policy does not allow campus space and services to be used by groups that aren’t comprised of at least 50% IU students. In addition, the IU GLBT office is not currently open on evenings or weekends and has not always lent library materials to people younger than 18. Parking on campus can pose a significant problem. And many grant sources that could benefit the local GLBT community are not available to university-affiliated groups. In short, a town-based center would complement the IU GLBT office’s services in many ways and vice versa.
