I've created a ranking of political science departments at 378 American colleges and universities with regard to how lesbian-and-gay-friendly their core faculty members are.
This new ranking serves several important functions. First, gay and lesbian college seniors going on to graduate study in political science may use the ranking to identify departments hospitable to sexual minorities.
Second, lesbian and gay graduate students and junior faculty can rely on the ranking to determine welcoming departments for job placements.
Third, the extensive commentary accompanying the ranking makes a persuasive argument that political science serves as a dependable portal to the gay-and-lesbian-friendliness of the colleges and universities of which government departments are a part. Therefore, lesbian and gay high school seniors may use the ranking to find suitable places to apply to college.
The 20 most gay-and-lesbian-friendly political science departments are at these schools:
First Place: Oberlin College
Second Place: Johns Hopkins University
Third Place: University of California-Irvine
Fourth Place: University of California-Santa Cruz
Fifth Place: University of Chicago
Sixth Place: University of Massachusetts-Amherst
Seventh Place: Northwestern University
Eighth Place: Cornell University
Ninth Place: University of Minnesota-Twin Cities
Tenth Place: University of Florida
Eleventh Place: University of Virginia
Twelfth Place: University of California-Berkeley
Thirteenth Place: Hunter College, CUNY
Fourteenth Place: College of William and Mary
Fifteenth Place: New School for Social Research
Sixteenth Place: University of San Francisco
Seventeenth Place: University at Albany, SUNY
Eighteenth Place: University of Connecticut-Storrs
Nineteenth Place: Indiana University-Bloomington
Twentieth Place: University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill
A 2,500-word explanation is attached to the ranking and is designed to answer all viewer questions about it. Please refer to those comments if you have queries regarding the ranking.
