LGBT Common Room Campaign Have you ever wondered why,
when in the Gay Capital, Brighton University hasn't got
it's own LGBT room?
We think that our Uni needs it's very own gay centre.
We need and want-
-A place where people can come and feel safe to be
themselves.
-Where they can meet and make friends with other gay
people from their Uni because being a split campus,
people from different areas and campuses never get meet
eachother.
-Somewhere that is safe for Trans people.
-Somewhere with gay literature.
-Somewhere that has gay information and advice.
-Somewhere you can go to find out about the events and
campaigns being hosted by the commitee.
If you agree, then please join and help us get a room
that you deserve.

FE students needed for LGB awareness DVD
Are you a lesbian, gay or bisexual student in further education? Would
you be comfortable talking on camera about your experiences as an LGB
student?
The Centre for Excellence in Leadership is currently developing a
training DVD for further education colleges on the subject of sexual
orientation, which is supported by NUS. They are looking for FE LGB
students who would be willing to speak on camera about their experiences
of being lesbian, gay, or bisexual in colleges in Britain.
Filming will take place in February, and is likely to be in London
(expenses will be paid). If you would like to find out more, please
contact Phil Barnett on

Do you use Google and Wikipedia to research your essays? You might
find this article on the policy of a
Brighton University professor to be quite interesting! If you enter
'Brighton University' into Google it had already reached number 14 in
the rankings, only 4 days after it was written. Another blog article
about
Brighton University's attitude to Google released on 15 Jan 2008 had
reached the third page of rankings within 4 days. A new form of 'Google
bombing'?
