October 27, 2012 jobs to consider

Program Coordinator, LGBT Center, Duke University

Here is the Center website.  Here is Duke's anti-discrimination policy.  It was not difficult to find.

Duke University is committed to encouraging and sustaining a learning and work community that is free from prohibited discrimination and harassment. The university prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, sex, genetic information, or age in the administration of its educational policies, admission policies, financial aid, employment, or any other university program or activity. The university also makes good faith efforts to recruit, employ and promote qualified minorities, women, individuals with disabilities, and veterans. It admits qualified students to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students.

However, North Carolina restricts marriage to one man, one woman:

State law and/or constitutional provision limits marriage to relationships between a man and a woman:

The University is an equal opportunity institution of higher learning education. As a matter of policy, the University does not discriminate in employment, educational services, and academic programs on the basis of an individual's race, color, religion, religious creed, ancestry, national origin, age (except minors), sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, medical condition (cancer-related and genetic-related), and disability, and on other bases prohibited by law. The University reasonably accommodates qualified individuals with disabilities under the law.

There are courses listed on LGBT cinema and there are news stories about LGBT alumni, but no LGBT Center.  USF does not seem to be a member of the Consortium for Higher Education LGBT Resource Professionals.

Assistant/Associate Professor, Open Faculty Search, School of Teaching & Learning, Ohio State University

Ohio State University includes sexual orientation and gender identity in its non-discrimination statement.  In addition, there are several AERA colleagues at OSU and others in the state.  Ohio limits marriage to one man, one woman.  

Director of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Center, Ohio University, Athens, OH

There are eight campuses of the IU system, where Bloomington is the headquarters location.  You have to go to each specific campus website to find faculty positions.

For instance, the School of Education at Indiana University, Bloomington, faculty jobs listing is here.
The open positions at IUPUI, Indianapolis, is here.
Otherwise, I was unable to find any additional faculty openings lists, even though everywhere I went there was the statement that each administrative unit handles their own faculty openings separately from the Indiana University system.

Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN
Purdue is not a member of the Consortium.  However, Purdue does include gender identity, sexual orientation, and gender expression in its non-discrimination statement.  Purdue is the land-grant institution for Indiana, while IUB is the non-land-grant public institution.  See the post "Consortium jobs March 3" for additional information on Purdue University.
