it is a scholarship program not a admissions program

like the article says. It still makes you wonder why they feel the need to increase the number of LGBT students at a liberal arts school in the name of diversity. Is this a group that is being under represented in the liberals arts? I could just be buying in to the stereo type but I would bet against it, I would bet against with a lot of money and bad odds. If what they truly wanted was diversity of thought and ideas wouldn't they look for under represented groups and encourage more of them to enroll instead of just picking the latest Cause Celeb regardless of need? If what they wanted was true diversity of thought they would try and recruit students who wouldn't normally be drawn to a liberal arts university?
A fine example of the fuzzy logic of the left

Personally I still favor demographic blind subsidies as the best route to meritocracy.

I would have no problem with a LGBT only school as long as it didn't take state money

The United Church of Christ is a rather liberal denomination - celebrating gay marriages, notably.

My guess is because you referenced "the lefts" fuzzy logic in a thread about a LGBT scholarship.
