A new survey has found that a majority of college students believe discrimination against LGBTQ students occurs at high levels on campus.

According to a survey produced by College Pulse, an analytics company, 64 percent of students say there is “a lot” or “some” discrimination against LGBTQ students on their respective campuses with 36 percent saying discrimination occurs “very little” or not at all.

The survey also noted that those identifying as LGBTQ are “far more likely” to say there is “a lot” or some discrimination against the identity group compared to straight students.

Perceptions of discrimination against these groups are at high levels, according to this survey, despite colleges pouring millions of dollars in funding annually into diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.

Campus Reform has reported on the millions of dollars individual colleges spend in diversity efforts each year.

Rutgers University faculty protested in 2018 to increase the institution’s $20 million diversity budget. American University announced in February that a total of $61 million was to be funneled into diversity efforts in 2019 and the University of Michigan is spending $10.6 million on its 82 diversity officers in 2019 alone.

College Pulse's “Student Discrimination” survey asked 12,300 students from more than 800 four-year institutions across the country about their perception of the climate on campus. The survey asked respondents a variety of questions about gender and sexuality discrimination, as well as racial discrimination on campus, including how much discrimination they believe occurs against black, Hispanic, Asian, and international students, as well as male and female students.
