In addition to identifying their race, gender and ethnicity, incoming college freshmen at University of California schools may also be asked to identify their sexual orientation. If a new proposal is passed, high school seniors will be asked to check a new box — one that declares whether they are gay, straight, bi or transgender — upon acceptance of their admissions offer.
ABC News reports that the proposal, initiated by the University of California Academic Senate, would add an extra question to the statement of intent that students sign when they decide to attend the university.
