On HuffPo: To Ask or Not to Ask: LGBT Identity on College Admission Forms

rainbowtestform_sm.jpgCampus Pride Executive Director Shane Windmeyer on LGBT-identity questions and college admissions forms at The Huffington Post today:

    In order to best serve the needs of out LGBT college students, it is imperative that colleges and universities give these students the option to self-identify on the college admission form. This way the campus can take responsibility for the LGBT student experience, their academic retention, safety, and success from the beginning. For a long time, colleges have done this in regard to race/ethnicity, religion, and other optional demographics on college admission forms.

Be sure to catch Shane's entire commentary at HuffPo...
