Guess this will become part of Business Week's criteria for ranking the best universities and colleges! Keep sending the money to them alumni and taxpayers and the colleges will guarantee we will provide proper indoctrination!

[COBOL2Java]

Well, isn't that special!

[vaudine]

Can someone post the 100 colleges and univs?

Bet my college (The Evergreen State College) is in the top 10.

How'd I ever survive that????

It is a welcoming place," said Natalija Jovanovic, a graduate engineering student at MIT and president of the Rainbow Coffee House, a gay, lesbian, transgendered, and bisexual social group. ................

GLBT.... who wants to hang out with a bunch of people who don't even know what they are? How can someone study advanced engineering and not even know if they themselves are male or female?

[Teflonic]

Could I reprint the findings and call it "Best anti-homosexual colleges"?

[CertainInalienableRights]

and most extensive campus services for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered students

If they're "just like everyone else", then why do they need special, dedicated services?

[RinaseaofDs]

Thank goodness. This is what I call useful consumer information.

Conservative parents need this kind of information when helping their kids make such an expensive and life-shaping decision such as where to experience their college education.

I applaud this. Money well spent, and my heartfelt thanks to the Advocate for providing us with this service!

I'm thinking that UT Austin will rank really high.

There is no shortage of limp-wristed, purse-swinging bed-wetters on that campus.

[Uncledave]

NYU is #1. It's where I went to grad school and agree with the ranking.

The schoo's sports team name is the "Voilets". How's that to strike fear in the opponent?

[NoFoxholeAthiests]

The ironic thing about this is that these same campuses
are becoming increasingly "un-friendly" to those of us who disagree with this aberrant behavior.

So much for the "marketplace of ideas".

[Uncledave]

The rankings are calculated on a ``gay point average," which looks at 20 factors, including whether a school offers a resource center for gay and lesbian students, a variety of gay studies courses, scholarships specifically for gay and lesbian students, gay and lesbian social events, and procedures for reporting gay and lesbian harassment.

Great Defenders of Equality.

Instead of a Top Ten, wouldn't their preferred colleges be "Bottom Ten"?

Anyways, my guess is the lower-performing schools have better grads overall.

[MAexile]

Sixteen of the schools are in New England, including six in Massachusetts.

That number seems low to me.

[MAD-AS-HELL]

They should just make all gay schools and not let any hetero's in. You can have Homo Univeristy, Fagette State University, Limp Wristed University, Chaps University, Bath House State, and finally Cher and Liberace Tech. They can all compete against themselves in the Queer as Folk sponsered Queer as Folk Bowl in San Francisco.*


*This is all in the name of humor. I have no problem with gay people just as long as they don't tell me I would look good in chaps. What people do in their own bedroom is their business as long as it doesn't include children and animals. In fact, I consider myself a male lesbian.

[Squawk 8888]

That would be a useful ranking for the rest of us. You can be certain that those rated most "gay-friendly" are also the most intolerant of normal people.

Is there very little discrimination against homosexuals?

More on "gay friendly" colleges...

The collegiate spread of Normalphobia is shocking...
If its "normal" it must be wrong...

In the first week of January, 1997, I phoned the MIT Arts Hotline. I was merely curious. What would this great scientific and technically-oriented university offer in connection with the arts?
A cheery recorded voice informed me that pornography was their focus that month, and and gay pornography would be their feature during the first week of January. A gay porno video would be shown followed by duscussion and those interested could also e-mail questions to the director of the video.
I wrote a letter of protest to MIT and, of course, received no reply.
