Figures & data

Table 1. High-level descriptive statistics showing LGBT+ populations in England and Wales and in HEIs.

Table 2. Percentage of bisexual professors and senior managers by age, compared to the percentage of bisexuals with level 4 qualifications or above.

Table 3. Exponentiated logistic regression coefficients for combined census data (individuals aged 16–64 with level 4 qualification and above) and HESA staff data.

Figure 1. Scatter plot showing the proportion of staff who are LGB+ against the proportion of degree holders aged 16–64 in the local tier local authority where the higher education provider is based. STEM and non-STEM cost centres are plotted separately. The horizontal line is our benchmark of the proportion of LGB+ degree holders aged 16–64 in England and Wales.
