NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Some Vanderbilt University religious groups will have to change their policies or risk being shut down.

The university told Nashville's News 2 a number of groups are in violation of the school's nondiscrimination policy.

In a statement, Vanderbilt University said, "Last academic year, an undergraduate made an allegation of discrimination against a student organization. As a result of that allegation, we sought to ensure that the more than 300 student organizations were aware of their need to comply with the university's longstanding nondiscrimination policy."

Stephen Siao is the president of the college Republicans.

"The policy that they've asked the groups that are in question to change now is basically delete from their constitution any regulation that says you have to profess a certain faith or lead a bible study to be a leader in the group."

Siao also said he believes Vanderbilt is using the nondiscrimination policy to specifically target religious and conservative groups.

A student who chooses to attend a private school is bound by the policies of that school, however misguided they may be.

A student who chooses to attend a private school is bound by the policies of that school, however misguided they may be.

And those students have the same rights that the Left does, to speak out against policies they find offensive, in order to persuade the school to change them.

[Mr. Lucky]

Exactly; but, the Vanderbilt policy should be changed because it’s stupid, not because private institutions should be made to conform to the same rules as public institutions.

Vanderbilt takes large amounts of our tax dollars in the form of grants. Like it or not that comes with strings.

The govt uses those strings to push the homosexual agenda. funny how they wont use them to protect Christians.
