    University of Richmond

    The University of Richmond has received a four-star rating for its LGBT initiatives from the Campus Climate Index.  The index is a national tool used to rank university LGBT inclusive programming.

    The assessment looks at recruitment efforts, policy inclusion, support on campus and academic life, safety, and housing.

    From The Collegian:

    “The Campus Climate Index is not a complete picture, but it is a useful tool,” said Glyn Hughes, the director of Common Ground. Common Ground is a campus office that serves as a liaison between all LGBT organizations and the university administration, runs the Safe Zone program and advocates for LGBT students, according to its website.

    In previous years, the campus received a three-star rating.  Recent campus efforts include adding an LGBT Living-Learning Community, the addition of the LGBTQ Spiders Alumni, and the addition of  gender identity and expression into the non-discrimination policy.

    The highest ranking available is five-stars.  Currently four other Virginia institutions hold a four-star ranking: Washington & Lee, Mary Washington, Virginia Tech, and George Mason.
