Aacrao Survey Results: Campuses Provide Supportive Environments for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender (GLBT) Community
Journal of American College Health, v53 n4 p192 Jan 2005
A questionnaire about the campus environment for the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered (GLBT)community yielded responses from 411 institutions in 2003. The findings showed that 382 colleges and universities included sexual orientation in their nondiscrimination policies, up from 347 institutions two years earlier. About 85 percent of the respondents reported no hostility toward GLBT students on their campuses, 55 percent reported having a student-run support group for GLBT students, and 52 percent reported regularly scheduling events specific to the GLBT community, such as gay pride week. Only 13 percent of the respondents reported mandatory sensitivity or diversity training for employees and students. (
