Positive images of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual students in university brochures and websites influence students’ choice of institution, new research by the Equality Challenge Unit has shown. The unit, founded in 2001, is funded by the higher education sector and the funding councils.
The report is based on an analysis of 4,205 online responses to an electronic survey disseminated to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual (LGBT) staff and students in higher education institutions in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
