Campus Pride has announced the annual Campus Pride 2014 Top 50 LGBT-Friendly Colleges & Universities.
According to a press release, "the listing highlights the positive efforts to improve safety and academic life for LGBT students as well as the top institutions leading the way."
Among area schools listed are Indiana University, Southern Illinois University-Carbondale, the University of Chicago, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the University of Illinois at Chicago.
This is the first year Campus Pride has released a list of the 50 "Best of the Best." Previously, only the top 25 schools were listed.
Unlike the Princeton Review LGBT rankings, the Campus Pride Index is based in research on policy, program and practice and is conducted "for and by" LGBT experts in the field of higher education.
