...also unclear exactly what a sexually diverse class would look like.  Should admissions offices make the class percentages match the national averages? Studies estimating the percentage of homosexual males in the US population range from 2 percent to 10 percent.  However, it is possible that the percentage of homosexual students at a university, such as Harvard, might be higher.  Recent research suggests that homosexual male college students are, on average, more academically inclined and have higher grade point averages than their heterosexual counterparts...
