Baylor University Granted Religious Exemption From Complaints By LGBTQ Students
The U.S. Department of Education has granted Baylor University a religious exemption from several types of complaints by LGBTQ students.
LGBTQ students filed several Title IX discrimination complaints against the university, alleging they failed to address “homophobic” harassment from other students.
In response, the university requested exemptions for their decisions to deny applications for an official charter of Gamma Alpha Upsilon — the university’s gay club, for their alleged decision to pressure student media not to report on LGBTQ events and protests in 2021, and for the university’s alleged response to notice that students were harassed based on their sexual orientation and/or gender identity.
Inside Higer Ed reports, “Title IX bans discrimination based on sex and also requires colleges and universities to prevent and address sexual harassment.
