DON'T TELL: Elmhurst College is First to Ask Prospective Students About Sexual Orientation!

Elmhurst College in suburban Chicago is the first to directly ask prospective students if they are LGBT, the Sun Times reports: At a handful of other universities, there are admissions procedures that might identify LGBT student applicants. At Dartmouth College, for example, students can check boxes of activities that might interest them, including LGBT-centered activities. At the University of Pennsylvania, students who write in their application essay that they are gay can be paired with a mentor.
