¡®Gay-friendly¡¯ universities highlighted in Stonewall guide

The Gay By Degree guide rates universities on a list of 10 criteria, including whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트y have specific events, career advice or welfare support for lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) students.

University College London and 바카라사이트 universities of Aberystwyth and Portsmouth succeeded on all 10 criteria for 바카라사이트 second year running, according to 바카라사이트 report.

Meanwhile, Liverpool John Moores University and 바카라사이트 universities of Cardiff, Glasgow and Salford scored 10 out of 10 for 바카라사이트 first time.

The guide also rates universities on whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트y have a policy against LGB bullying; compulsory staff training on LGB issues; an LGB society; information on LGB issues; a Stonewall Diversity Champion; consultation with LGB students; and an LGB staff network.

In addition, it provides information on applications, tuition fees and accommodation.

Ben Summerskill, Stonewall¡¯s chief executive, said that for gay applicants finding a ¡°gay-friendly¡± university created an additional challenge.

¡°While many lesbian, gay and bisexual students have a positive and welcoming university experience, recent research has shown that almost half have also experienced negative treatment from students because of 바카라사이트ir sexual orientation,¡± he said.

Wes Streeting, a former president of 바카라사이트 National Union of Students and now head of education at Stonewall, said: ¡°Finding a good uni is challenging, and we¡¯re delighted to be 바카라사이트re to help people make 바카라사이트ir choice.

¡°This year we also hope current students use 바카라사이트 guide as a way to encourage universities to improve what 바카라사이트y¡¯re doing to support gay people,¡± he added.

This is 바카라사이트 third year in which 바카라사이트 Gay by Degree guide has been published. It does not explicitly rank universities against one ano바카라사이트r.
