Campus Pride
August 15, 2014

Campus Pride announced today the annual Campus Pride 2014 Top 50 LGBT-Friendly Colleges & Universities. The listing highlights the positive efforts to improve safety and academic life for LGBT students as well as the top institutions leading the way.

"More than ever colleges today want to be viewed as LGBT-friendly and a welcoming place for all students. LGBT students and their safety impacts the recruitment efforts of the entire campus," said Windmeyer. "Upper-level administrators are now understanding how LGBT-friendliness is key to future institutional success. This Top 50 list is proof."

This is the first year Campus Pride has released a list of the fifty "Best of the Best." In years past, Campus Pride has only featured a "Top 25 List." The listing is based on the final responses to the Campus Pride Index, a national benchmarking tool which self-assesses LGBT-friendly policies, programs and practices. The tool is free of charge and can be found online at www.CampusPrideIndex.org.
