BMC: Kaleidoscope Continuum of Care

Non-Participating Institutions

Bethel College

Bethel College is a Mennonite college in North Newton, Kansas. Bethel is a small college that pays close attention to their students and has made significant steps to providing resources and services to lgbt and supportive students. Although they did not respond to this survey, the Kaleidoscope Program looks forward to future contacts and participation with Bethel College. Both McPherson College and Hesston College participated in the study, and are in the same area as Bethel.

Bluffton University

Bluffton University is in Bluffton, Ohio, and affiliated with the Mennonite Church USA. Bluffton University did not respond to requests for participation in this survey. The Kaleidoscope Program looks forward to cooperating with Bluffton University in supporting all their students, faculty and staff.

Bridgewater College

Bridgewater College has refused to participate in the survey. It is also the onlyschool affiliated with the Church of the Brethren not to participate in the survey, and there is an open invitation from the Kaleidoscope Program to do so. We are hopeful that Bridgewater College will show some willingness in the future to work with the Kaleidoscope Program/BMC in our work to support lgbt people in the church and its related institutions.

Canadian Mennonite University

CMU is a Mennonite university in Winnipeg, Manitoba. CMU did not respond to requests to complete the survey. We hope that they will help all their students, faculty and staff by participating in future Kaleidoscope Program activities.

Eastern Mennonite University

EMU is a Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The university did not respond to requests to fill out the survey. The Kaleidoscope Program keeps an open invitation to work with Eastern Mennonite University by acknowledging the university’s strengths and working to change negative policies.

Goshen College

Goshen College is a Mennonite college in Goshen, Indiana. Goshen is one of the two institutions to outright refuse to participate in this important study. There have been changes over the years to provide some supports to lgbt students, and the Kaleidoscope Program would like to work with Goshen in supporting all their students, faculty and staff. We hope that Goshen will reconsider and join other Brethren and Mennonite schools in completing this survey.
