As for the other targeted groups, I tend to doubt that the barriers are anything but financial. Is there really any systemic bias preventing LGBT people or physically disabled people, or people from remote areas, from going to university? It doesn't seem so to me.
EDIT: Actually the last one seems sort of practical; are there not issues getting people to teach in remote communities? If so, getting more people in the program from those areas might be a good idea.

You don't think there are reasons why an LGBTQ kid, or a kid with disabilities might perform worse during high school? Think about being a gay or transgender student living in a household or community where that might not be acceptable.
