My guess is that they want to fill quotas.
got to make sure there are still some straight people in CA schools.
My initial thought here is this info is none of their f'ing business but I'm open to someone explaining why this could be a good thing.
Calif. colleges may ask students if they are gay
California public universities may ask students about their sexual orientation,
Students at University of California and California State University campuses would be asked to voluntarily state if they are gay, bisexual or transgender.
The questions would be posed because of a little-known state law aimed at learning whether those students are getting enough services, such as counseling.
The Los Angeles Times ( http://lat.ms/H4SuXt) says there are concerns about privacy.
For six years, the University of California has asked about sexual orientation on an informal poll about campus life. But student names weren't used.
The shift comes in response to a law signed by Gov. Jerry Brown last fall.
It calls for schools to adopt policies that discourage bullying of homosexual students and it asks, but does not require, state campuses to allow students to state their sexual orientation.

They use mean annual and five year means in trend analysis. Don't tell me I have to explain the difference to you. "
Hell, why not put a box for kids who have never scored. There are kids who make it through high school getting no action and they could probably use some counciling as well.

I thought the colleges in CA would assume, like the rest the world does, that all the students were gay. I guess they are looking for the minority straight students so they can indoctrinate them more thoroughly.
