Dear Colleagues, I was wondering whether any institutions monitor student admissions by sexual orientation and/or gender identity,(how did you accomplish this, and in particular how did you persuade student administration to undertake this data collection exercise?) Or if any institutions are planning to monitor this protected characteristic in the future, how are you preparing to implement this? Any thoughts/practical examples on this would be most welcome, Many thanks Maria Maria Pervaiz Equality and Diversity Manager The Equality Service Social Sciences Building University of Leeds Leeds LS2 9JT Telephone 0113 343 7546 (calls via RNID Typetalk are welcome) Textphone 0113 343 2616 Fax 0113 343 3944 website: www.equality.leeds.ac.uk
