Female students at Christian colleges more likely to experience gender discrimination
Students at Christian universities and colleges are more likely to experience gender-based discrimination than students attending private or public institutions, though less likely to experience sexual assault, according to new research.
Some 79 per cent of students at Christian institutions in the US reported having experienced gender-based discrimination from staff, compared to 72 and 75 per cent of students at public and private institutions respectively, according to findings from Neil Best, a PhD candidate at Geneva College in Pennsylvania who surveyed 6,643 students at 38 schools across the United States.
On the other hand, 15 per cent of students at Christian institutions, 21 per cent of students at public institutions and 27 per cent of students at private institutions reported having experienced sexual assault.
