[Harvard] College Places HCFA On ‘Probation’ Student in Same-Sex Relationship from Leadership
The Harvard Crimson ^ | 2/22/18 | Caroline S. Engelmayer and Michael E. Xie

The Office of Student Life has placed religious group Harvard College Faith and Action on “administrative probation” for a year after the organization pressured a female member of its student leadership to resign in September following her decision to date a woman.

College spokesperson Aaron M. Goldman announced the move to put HCFA on probation in an emailed statement sent to The Crimson Wednesday afternoon.

“After a thorough review and finding that HCFA had conducted itself in a manner grossly inconsistent with the expectations clearly outlined in [the Office of Student Life’s] Student Organization Resource and Policy Guide, OSL has placed HCFA on a one year administrative probation,” Goldman wrote in the statement.

Goldman did not specify how HCFA, the largest Christian fellowship on campus, had violated Office of Student Life “expectations.” In an emailed statement Wednesday, HCFA co-presidents Scott Ely ’18 and Molly L. Richmond ’18 were slightly more specific.

“Earlier today, we met with an administrator who informed us that the College would place HCFA on probation, citing our relationship with Christian Union as well as our standards for leaders,” Richmond and Ely wrote Wednesday. Christian Union—a national umbrella group with outposts at all eight Ivy League schools and Stanford—helps fund and support HCFA.

Being a Christian IS serious. There have been short periods in the past 2,000 years when it was relatively easy to be a person of faith. We have been living in such a period, but “the times, they are a’changin’.”

Just more “homosexuality not affecting anyone else,” I see.

“Probation” means that they must comply. In other words, it’s the punishment.
