He is openly gay. In November 2006, Dr. Middleton was elected to the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame. In spring 2010 he gave the keynote address at the conference "25 Years After: GLBT in Higher Education" at Texas A&M University, commemorating the 25th anniversary of the legal decision forcing Texas A&M to recognize Gay Student Services as an official student organization.
So all these affiliations he belongs to, so what, what does any of that have to do with running a university? And what does his being gay have to do with anything? And how many students are enrolled at Roosevelt University that would merit that kind of money? WTF!!!
