LGBT-Friendly Campus Climate Index

LGBT-Friendly Campus Climate Index:
Using Technology to Find a Gay-Friendly College

http://www.campusclimateindex.org/



Dear LGBT Community Center,

As you are on the front lines serving LGBT and Ally high school and community college students - and many others considering college education, you should definitely be aware of the LGBT-Friendly Campus Climate Index - http://www.campusclimateindex.com/ - a free website from Campus Pride - http://www.campuspride.org/

What...

  • The Index presents information about LGBT-Friendly policies, programs, and practices at over 150 colleges and universities. The list has grown five fold since its launch and continues to grow every month.
  • You can search, view and compare campuses based on your individual college goals and needs. It is important to note that the Index does not assess attitudes or perceptions; instead, it looks specifically at LGBT policies, programs, and practices.


Why...

  • The Index was built on the philosophy that every student has the right to a safe learning environment where they can learn, live, and grow, academically and socially.
  • As a result, campuses have the power and responsibility to enact policies, programs, and practices that work to enhance the campus climate for all students -- including LGBT and ally students.
  • In addition to this philosophy, the Index team relied on a decade of LGBT campus climate research, as well as a host of national LGBT best practices and standards.

Who...

  • The Index is owned and operated by Campus Pride, the only national nonprofit organization for student leaders and campus groups working to create safer, more LGBT-Friendly learning environments at colleges and universities.
