"What's frustrating is that I have had very few opportunities to take gender studies courses," Litewka said, adding that there is "a real lack of LGBTQ courses ... that focus exclusively on lesbian, gay, transgender, transsexual, and queer studies" and this perceived curricular hole could be filled by a faculty who teach queer studies.

According to the course bulletin, there is one LGBTQ course taught through Barnard, called "Discourses of Desire: Introduction To Gay and Lesbian Studies," but it is not offered this year. There are no LGBTQ courses listed for Columbia.
