The Trojan® Sexual Health Report Card is an annual ranking of colleges and
universities representing each state and major athletic conference, measuring
the availability of sexual health resources and information to their students.
In the third year of the report card, independent research firm Sperling’s
BestPlaces expanded its methodology by collecting student anecdotes on
access to sexual health services. Student health centers were also graded
on health services across 13 separate categories versus 11 in 2007.
1. Student opinion of health center
2. Hours of Operation
3. Allow drop-ins, require appointments
4. Separate sexual awareness program
5. Contraceptives, free or at cost
6. Condoms, free or at cost
7. HIV testing (on/off campus, at cost)
8. STD testing (on/off campus, at cost)
9. Anonymous advice via email / column
10. Lecture / outreach programs
11. Student peer groups
12. Sexual assault programs
13. Website usability, functionality

Flippin’ Fordham would probably be at the bottom. Pretending that sex doesn’t happen doesn’t actually discourage students from having it. Many get diseases in the process, thanks to the lack of resources/testing/contraceptives available.
