As part of Bupa's best blog competition for 2015
The Human Rights commission has released a new guide just for lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans students and they rate universities on this. You can see it here.
This assessment was done by the Australian Human Rights Commission who has released a guide on how to treat students who are gay. Many International students are gay or lesbian and some countries don't allow this such as China. But Australia is an open country.
The guide is meant to make picking a university easier for LGBTI students.
Universities around the country are being accessed according to 15 different criteria. They include having a safe space on campus and training staff to deal with LGBI students. Surprisingly most universities failed in this department.
But the one that they most passed is having a department just for the queer students. About 60% passed for just having events for students. The majority of them also passed for having events on campus just for the queers.
Our response to this is that it is great to see a guide from the Human Rights commission as queer, gay, lesbian and trans people are all equal. Universities should treat them as such. These people are being discriminated against by the straight people.
