Wish that liberty university had made that list as well. But I think the bias of the question can be the determining factor here. LU is by far one of the most conservative Christian colleges in the US, however if (I were still a student) and asked that question I would mark the highest for respect for everyone (and I am sure most would as well). We just don’t agree that homosexuality is ok, it is sinful, but respect for the person ABSOLUTELY!@
I think all this survey says is that the studen body at these universities are slightly more ~liberal~ than their actual administrations and rules, history, etc..
Normally, people act normally. Civilized people act civilly. That's all.
"Sexual orientation" is something you wouldn't even know about amybody, since it isn't a visible characteristic. That is, unless the person is engaging in constant PDA's or waving around rainbow feather boas.
As far as gender identity/expression goes, that's about the same. Females with boy-cut hair, jeans and Tshirts have been standard for 50 years and it "means" little or nothing about their sexuality; cross-dressers and trannies often look so much like their target category that yhou can'rt tell they're trannies, either.
And unisex/angrogynous has been with us since forever.
My point is, it never becomes an issue unless somebody is in your face about it.
Cathoic schools don’t have students more liberal than faculty. At Notre Dame students are definately more conservative. Church doctrine is all that keeps school policys that on the list. I suspect Boston College is the same.
It’s good to see so many Catholic schools on that list. There are some small schools (Franciscan U Steubenville) that should be on there as well.
