Christian colleges and universities
outline specific policies that they believe provide the foundation for
their respective educational missions. Some of these schools strongly
oppose same-s*x romantic relationships. There are some private religious
academic institutions allowed to enforce their unique policies, some of
which include not employing gay or lesbian teachers. In some cases,
these schools refuse to provide housing for students in same-s*x
relationships.
Ironically, many of these private academic institutions accept tuition fees from government loans and
grants. This has led many critics, including some human rights groups
to claim that the government is supporting discrimination in the name of
religion, with some saying that by providing loans and grants to
students in these institutions, the government is subsidizing
discrimination.
Because of such policies, students
whose beliefs that contradict those of their schools go through painful
experiences. In fact, it pushes some of them to consider transferring to
other academic institutions or even reconsider their religious belief,
their future, or relationships. Fear of being reprimanded by the
administration forces some not to openly talk about their s*xual
orientation or beliefs.
