The goal was to discover whether non-binary individuals were more likely to be discriminated against in the college admissions process as compared to their straight or transgender counterparts by “explor[ing] the potential impact of gender identity on the admissions process.”

In other words, even if they weren’t consciously making the decision, admissions counselors were more likely to try to attract woke-infected students.
