If you had a student with the same name as the most famous football coach of all time, would you want to ask him if his parents chose his name deliberately?

New diversity survey for a college asks if respondents have encountered people at the school of a gender different from their own.

I'm wondering if this is a carefully formulated survey.

No. Neither all-boys, nor all-"other-gender." Not a monastery or nunnery either. Not a jail.

They do have data on the proportion of female to male already about their own college, which they could look up.
