ChicagoLand: College adds sexual orientation to application."Yes" answer to put students in line to qualify for scholarship 'to increase diversity'

You'll never see these same colleges asking students, or faculty applicants for that matter, if they are conservatives. You know - to 'increase diversity.' From NBC Chicago via drudge: Elmhurst College to Ask About Sexual Orientation 

Elmhurst College put a question on its admissions application that won’t appear on any other school's application.

"Would you consider yourself to be a member of the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered) community?”

That optional question makes Elmhurst the first school in the country to ask applicants about their sexual orientation or gender identity, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Gary Rold, the dean of students at Elmhurst, stressed the question falls in line with the campus’ mission statement to increase diversity.

...A "yes" answer could put students in line to qualify for a scholarship worth one-third of tuition at the private, liberal arts school affiliated with the United Church of Christ, said Rold.

Two things: 1) the United Church of Christ is an oxymoron. 2) This school sure puts the liberal in liberal arts, no? A video report:
