A couple of weeks ago, The Daily Beast published the results of Trojan’s 7th annual sexual health report card, which ranks 141 schools based on the amount of sexual health information and campus resources they provide. Schools were scored according to availability of contraceptives, availability of condoms, access to STI testing, number of outreach programs they provide, and efficiency of sexual assault services.
University of Illinois ranks number one on the list, while other schools that made the top 10 include: Yale, University of Arizona, Brown University, and Colorado State University. The bottom 10 include: University of New Orleans, Chicago State University, and Providence College.
And, where does our beloved Oregon rank? At a disappointing No. 49, the University of Oregon has dropped three spots from a year ago. And if this isn’t enough to motivate us, the Beavers are No. 10 on the list—39 spots before us!
Looks like we have some work to do, Oregon.
Here’s a complete list of the most and least sexually healthy schools:
1. University of Illinois At Urbana-Champaign2. Brown University3. Columbia University in the City of New York4. Princeton University5. University of Wisconsin-Madison6. Yale University7. University of Arizona8. University of Iowa9. Colorado State University10. Oregon State University
