Note there has been private scholarships outside the school bodies for at least a decade relating to sexual orientation.

True, and not the only such example. How long do you think it would take protestors to show up shouting, "BIGOT!" if someone started a United Caucasian College Fund? ;)

Personally I still favor demographic blind subsidies as the best route to meritocracy. Joel - 25/08/2011 08:18:20 PM 800 Views
it works for gender as well random thoughts - 25/08/2011 09:02:58 PM 803 Views

There are colleges that don't allow homosexuals - or men, or women for that matter. Legolas - 25/08/2011 10:35:05 PM 784 Views
Alright then, socially unacceptable. Joel - 26/08/2011 01:00:16 AM 812 Views

But that's just a scholarship. Great Lord of Chaos - 25/08/2011 09:34:23 PM 817 Views

You do realize that there are indeed universities refusing admission to gay students? Legolas - 25/08/2011 10:02:41 PM 691 Views
I would have no problem with a LGBT only school as long as it didn't take state money random thoughts - 25/08/2011 10:27:48 PM 773 Views
This is a private university, not a state university *NM* Roland00 - 25/08/2011 10:29:15 PM 348 Views
sorry that ended with NM. Were you trying to make a point if so I missed it *NM* random thoughts - 25/08/2011 10:40:48 PM 361 Views
I expect some donor created a scholarship with that stipulation. Tim - 25/08/2011 10:40:09 PM 791 Views
I know my reply to his message may have made in seem that I was objecting to the scholarship random thoughts - 25/08/2011 11:10:33 PM 821 Views
If you're talking about "affirmative action", then yes, I oppose that. Tim - 26/08/2011 09:19:33 AM 742 Views
no I was talking about feel good solutions to imaginary problems random thoughts - 26/08/2011 01:38:33 PM 808 Views
it is a scholarship program not a admissions program random thoughts - 25/08/2011 09:12:47 PM 807 Views
I don't really have a problem with this Isaac - 25/08/2011 09:03:55 PM 857 Views

The United Church of Christ is a rather liberal denomination - celebrating gay marriages, notably. Legolas - 25/08/2011 10:06:26 PM 716 Views
their stated motive was to increase diversity random thoughts - 25/08/2011 10:09:17 PM 873 Views
well. It could be they just needed a reason, but for some reason couldn't be forthright? LadyLorraine - 26/08/2011 03:28:52 AM 711 Views
One of your lines struck me. Nate - 25/08/2011 10:12:32 PM 875 Views
that happened in the US, we elected Bush as a result random thoughts - 25/08/2011 10:35:05 PM 693 Views
That's an interesting point... Legolas - 25/08/2011 10:37:37 PM 783 Views

Re: that happened in the US, we elected Bush as a result Nate - 25/08/2011 10:55:29 PM 804 Views
I don't think most people believed Obama was a centrist so much as the anti-Bush random thoughts - 26/08/2011 12:40:43 AM 728 Views
I think you'll find very few Europeans agreeing with that assessment. Legolas - 26/08/2011 10:18:19 PM 712 Views
It's also worth noting ... Nate - 25/08/2011 11:00:35 PM 687 Views
Wow what a strawman Roland00 - 25/08/2011 10:23:45 PM 883 Views

*nod* I don't deny that it's a problem LadyLorraine - 26/08/2011 04:26:56 PM 850 Views
a question for you... Dominic - 26/08/2011 08:08:10 PM 965 Views
I guess my question for you is how I made it sound like LGBT=liberal random thoughts - 26/08/2011 09:47:16 PM 715 Views
My guess is because you referenced "the lefts" fuzzy logic in a thread about a LGBT scholarship. Joel - 26/08/2011 11:07:32 PM 870 Views
