Nice try 
My argument may be a strawman and I don't see but to prove you will need to show how I am misstating the schools position.
It was an example of fuzzy thinking. Do you believe scholarships
for GLBT are needed to increase the diversity of liberal arts schools?

A fine example of the fuzzy logic of the left
