Jarvis  \nRutgers University  \nAbstract  \nLGBTQIA students are an important stakeholder group on college and university campuses, especially as both their visibility and expectations for support and empowerment on campus increase. But how ready is the field of higher education for litigation related to LGBTQIA issues, and how should student affairs practitioners prepare to address LGBTQIA students’ possible negative campus experiences proactively? By reviewing details of cases that have set an important precedent and signal what might be coming with respect to LGBTQIA students’ rights and experiences in higher education, this article seeks to provide detail and analysis of important legal areas that student affairs practitioners should be attuned to as they continue to educate thousands of LGBTQIA students each year. I explore how Title IX may be increasingly a route of redress for LGBTQIA students who have experienced discrimination; how rulings on religious freedom of expression may erode some of LGBTQIA students’rights on college and universities campuses; and the special relationship doctrine and how it maybe applied to LGBTQIA students in mental health crisis.  \nKeywords: LGBTQIA students, LGBTQIA students’ rights, LGBTQIA legal issues in higher education, legal analysis, Title IX, religious freedom of expression, special relationship doctrine  \nPlease direct inquires about this manuscript to: Judy F.

In particular, they centered on the rights of lesbian, gay, and bisexual students to create and receive funding for LGB campus student organizations at public institutions. Key cases impacting LGBTQIA students in the 2010s and 2020s focused on what rights religious students and professors have at public universities to exclude or not LGBTQIA people and topics from student organizations and class discourse. The reason for the high representation of public universities in LGBTQIA-related litigation is that public universities are bound by constitutional law to ensure students’ right to freedom of expression on campus. In contrast, private institutions are not under the federal government’spurview in the same way and have more latitude to  \ndetermine their own policies for protections they provide related to speech and expression on campus.  \nThe cases Iselected to explicate in the following sections are ones that focus specifically on higher education law and LGBTQIA students’ rights. The cases do not represent every single higher education-and LGBTQIA students-related case but are those that have set important precedent and/or signal which might be to come. Two cases I focus on are not directly centered on LGBTQIA students in higher education: the Bostock v. Clayton Coun-  \n1The terminology to describe minoritized sexual orientations and gender identities varies across communities and college and university campuses (e.g., LGBT, LGBTQ+, GLBT, queer and transgender, etc.) .
