Top ‘LGBT Friendly’ Colleges Offer 'Gender-Free' Bathrooms, ‘Queer Studies’ Minor August 22, 2013 - 1:17 PM By Melanie Hunter
(CNSNews.com) – Campus Pride, a gay rights advocacy group, released its annual list of the “Top 25 LGBT Friendly Colleges and Universities” on Tuesday, which includes schools with gender-neutral bathrooms and a minor in “queer studies.”
The top 25 schools had to achieve five stars in overall, sexual orientation, and gender identity/expression categories in order to be listed in the top 25. Each school also had to be 4.5 stars or above in eight LGBT-friendly factor areas.
The final Top 25 had the highest percentage ratings and reflects colleges with student populations from 2500 to over 25,000, both public and private schools.
The University of Oregon is the only institution in the state to offer Queer Studies as a minor in their Department of Women’s and Gender Studies.
“Help change the world with your newfound critical thinking skills by promoting respect in the workplace. Aid a city as it institutes its new gay-marriage law. Promote diversity in adoption rights. You’ll be able to create and foster a culturally responsive community wherever you go,” the university said its website.
Macalester College, a private undergraduate liberal arts college in St. Paul, Minn., has what they call “all gender bathrooms” on campus.
“For those whose gender expression is not always recognized or validated, entering gendered restrooms can result in humiliation, harassment, or violence. To recognize the importance of the safety and comfort of everyone in our community, Macalester wants to ensure access to single-stall and/or all-gender restrooms on campus,” the college’s website said.

“No urinals or no toilets?”
This sounds like it could have been another verse in John Lennon’s “Imagine”.
Ah a degree in queer studies.
Sounds like the fast track to lifetime employment at McDonalds!
You should see the final "exam" they take to get that degree. It involves a banjo and a gerbil.
Stanford called itself the Cardinals from 1972 to 1981. One story that I heard was that since Stanford styled itself as the Harvard of the West, they chose Cardinal for their nickname to ape Harvard, which calls itself the Crimson.
I still remember my parents and other alumni stocking up on Indian paraphernalia when that happened. I found a half-dozen window decals when I cleaned out my Dad’s desk.

Now, what parent would not want his dear daughter to attend such an enlightened institution?
