In order to protect LGBT members, colleges across the country are asking their students to out themselves, the New York Times reported.
The Academic Senate of the University of California recently proposed the idea to ask incoming freshman to identify as straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender, during the admission process. The chair of the senate, Robert Anderson, said that question will not be asked on school applications because "students may feel uncomfortable filling out the forms in front of their parents." ABC News reported.
