Catholic university DePaul adds ‘Queer Peers’ mentorship program

by Matt Lamb - Loyola University Chicago on October 15, 2014

DePaul University in Chicago, the country’s largest Catholic school, is launching a new mentorship program for LGBT students called “Queer Peers.”


The program “connects current DePaul students with newly enrolled or newly out students,” meaning those who publicly identify as homosexual, according to the LGBTQA Student Services page. “The mentor relationship will last the duration of the 2014-15 academic year and will take the form of monthly meetings, peer support, and community engagement.”


The website provides little information on what that support, engagement, and meetings might actually entail.


Such programs are necessary because “there’s a lot of literature out there that says mentorship and direct support can help students in feeling acclimated to a university environment,” Katy Weseman, coordinator for LGBTQA Student Services, told The DePaulia. The program “will help students feel connected so that they are more likely to do well in school.”

Good for them. Hopefully, others will follow suit.

Gays want to be treated like everyone else, so the school forms a mentoring program specifically for gays.

<blink, blink>

Why don't they just form a mentoring program for all newbies, one that anyone is free to join?

More proof that the diversity meme is just bullshit babble for special treatment.

A so called Catholic school that caters to faggots.

Now I have heard everything. ...... .

Equality is so overrated

How will they know how "special" they are if there are no programs to tell them so?

 

[blastoff]

Queer Peers? Okay, I'll give them a few style points for that one, but I thought queers was pretty high up on the PC list of no-nos.

What's next for them, a packed fudge sale?

Educational institutions have always had special programs to help various groups acclimate to the environment. There are programs for foreign language students and students with disabilities. The purpose of these programs are to help students integrate into university life so they can be treated like everyone else.

Goddamn, sure attached to gays and bull whores. You must be one too, as no normal hard working person would post such crap.

No surprise the Catholic Church has been the haven for homos, lesbians and pedo's for centuries.

If you had ever even been on a college/university campus, you would know how ignorant your blinking statement is.

Gives a whole new meaning to

I've never seen a college campus that didn't have a program to acclimate new students.

 

[Katzndogz]

The University is treating gay students like any other disabled student. There's nothing wrong with that.

so being gay is a disability if that's true where's the awda money? (AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT )
haven't seen any goverment funded fashionable boutiques on the claremont colleges campuses.

So they already have a mentoring program to help new students acclimate. One that everyone is free to join ... as I stated they should.

So why the hell do they need a special program for gays? Gays can join this mentoring program and get all the guidance they may need. Being gay isn't a disability.

Thanks for proving my point that 'diversity' is just bullshit for special treatment.

This school already has a mentoring program to help newbies. Gays do not have a language barrier. Being gay isn't a disability (well, not yet ... give it time). So? Why the hell do gays need a special program when there's already a mentoring program in place for all? Aren't we suppose to stop making a big deal out of someone being gay? Yes, a special program just for gays will accomplish this.

Like I said, it's bullshit that equality is the stated end-game; special treatment is.

Good for them. Hopefully, others will follow suit.

No surprise the Catholic Church has been the haven for homos, lesbians and pedo's for centuries.

Good point. This program will relieve their burden of determining who is worth making homo advances to.

wtf are you babbling about? Inclusion is what gays want, yes? Then why not just include them in the mentoring program that already exists? Why create a special, separate program that isn't needed.
