"For one person to do that, and to meet with me for the first time and to tell me I'm not a good representative of the university - somebody that doesn't even know me because he's never made an effort to get to know me - there's no other conclusion that I can come to other than that he just doesn't want a gay person representing his athletic department."

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
