On Wednesday, CBN News<\/a>\u00a0reported that\u00a0Vanderbilt University\u00a0has put four groups on provisional status because their bylaws include requirements like Bible study and worship. The school is conducting a review of student groups to make sure all groups are in compliance with their non-discrimination policy. The review is the result of the fact that an openly gay student was\u00a0kicked out of the Christian fraternity Beta Upsilon Chi last year.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Justin Gunter, president of the CLS (Christian Legal Society) chapter, said he was shocked when the school brought up the issue since there seems to be so much religious diversity and acceptance on campus.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Up until now, the campus had been very welcoming of religious individuals,” he explained.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“These rules essentially will reduce the religious diversity on campus overall,” Gunter said. “Religious groups now can’t even say that we want a Christian group to be led by a Christian, a Muslim group to be led by a Muslim.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vanderbilt University\u00a0was founded by the Methodist Church. It has definitely wandered from its roots–last year the university made the decision to recognize\u00a0Wiccan holidays.<\/p>\n

This university has Christian roots. There is no reason why they have to limit the freedom of Christians in order to be ‘diverse.’ Simply allowing the Christian groups to follow their beliefs in setting up their organizations is not discrimination–it is respect for the beliefs of the organization.<\/p>\n
