S.A.F.E. Zone continues to be part of Kansas State University's efforts to create an open and affirming campus since the 1970s. The architects of S.A.F.E. Zone created educational opportunities to teach about discrimination around sexual orientation and other minoritized identities. The expanded S.A.F.E. Zone created a more comprehensive and ever-evolving effort to fit the needs of current K-State community members. S.A.F.E. Zone Allies acknowledge a variety of backgrounds and identities while teaching about navigating exclusionary acts like intimidation, micro and macro aggressions, discrimination, LGBTQ-related concerns, and sexual violence.
