Erskine is a very small college. An online report shows a 511 student body with a 70% acceptance rate and a 37% yield. https://colleges.niche.com/erskine-college/statistics/
In the reports I’m reading, heterosexual students as well as gay students are upset by the statements. Will this affect enrollment? Someone upthread said Erskine has a LGBT group but I can’t find it on the website. It is interesting to me to compare mission statements. Some make a point of diversity and inclusiveness, as well as emphasizing critical thinking and intellectual exploration.
