The thread starter may be onto something.

That's cus wheaton is a private christian university, I really doubt they are going for diversity on that campus.
Diversity is all fine and everything, and I think it should be done on the basis that universities reflect their community as a whole. If your community is like 30% black and 20% hispanic but the university is only 5% black and 10% hispanic or something then you might have an issue there.
But I don't get the LGBT thing in the name of diversity. LGBT is like 2% of the population and affects hardly anyone outside of what we read in the news. Yeah I bump into gay people at stores and stuff just like anyone else and I was friends with some in college and I have a gay cousin. But it is not something I run into on a day to day basis except in the news and entertainment media. I think they vastly overemphasize how much gay culture really affects our lives.
