11 Openly Gay College Presidents!

Towleroad linked to an Inside Higher Ed article about the Massachusetts marriage of the openly gay president of Hampshire College to his male partner of 27 years. John Hexter married Manfred Kollmeier. Interestingly, Towleroad ends his post with a link to a September 7 Chronicle of Higher Education article which claims that there are 11 openly gay college presidents. Here's the list:

    1. Sean T. Buffington, University of the Arts

    2. Raymond E. Crossman, Adler School of Professional Psychology

    3. Ralph J. Hexter, Hampshire College

    4. Michael J. Hoyle, McIntosh College

    5. Cynthia E. Huggins, University of Maine at Machias

    6. Theodora J. Kalikow, University of Maine at Farmington

    7. Neal King, Antioch University Los Angeles

    8. Charles R. Middleton, Roosevelt University

    9. Tullise (Toni) A. Murdock, Antioch University

    10. Richard Ortner, Boston Conservatory

    11. James Warwick, American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Los Angeles Division

It's interesting how many of these openly gay or lesbian chief executives are at a liberal arts college.

    Raynard S. Kington is the president-elect of Grinnell College. He is currently deputy director of the National Institutes of Health, and he will officially become the 13th president of Grinnell College on August 1, 2010.[1] Kington entered a combined B.S./M.D. program at the University of Michigan at age 16, earning his bachelor's degree when he was 19 and the M.D. at 21. He earned an M.B.A. and a Ph.D. in health policy and economics at The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.[2]
