While there does not appear to be a timetable for the decision, it is believed the plan could take effect in time for next fall’s admissions.
Only one other school in the country currently asks incoming students about their sexual orientation. Chicago-area Elmhurst College included the question on forms last year and 5 percent of those who answered the question identified themselves as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered.
Yale and Harvard have considered similar measures in recent years, but have not enacted any changes to their registration process.

美国加州大学将允许申请学生声明自己的性取向,该计划赢得了同性恋拥护者的赞扬。但批评人士认为,这会使同性恋群体受到优待。
加州大学拥有10所分校,共23.5万名学生。校方表示,该校的“大学志愿申请表”上将把性取向列为一个可选项,这将使校方更清楚学生的构成,改进教学计划和服务。但批评人士认为,这仅会给同性恋群体寻求优待铺平道路。
同性恋拥护者对此表示欢迎,强调指出这一选项不是必填的。他们认为这和表格上常见的身份信息没什么两样。
专栏作家金伯利•格莱诺在加州大学校报Daily Bruin上说,这一计划并没有听起来那么让人不安。
