In 2015, when officials at Claflin University in South Carolina learned senior honors student Kamaria Downs was pregnant, they kicked her out of the dorms and told her to move off campus.
"I was taken aback," the now 23-year-old elementary school teacher from Greenville told NBC News. "First, I wasn't even sure how they found out, and second, they were not offering me any type of housing."
For Downs, who had pre-paid for her dorm room and meal plan, living at home more than two and a half hours away from her Orangeburg school wasn't an option. So she ended up living with a professor, and wasn't refunded for her dorm costs.

Got it, but if used properly they’ll work well, especially if the man in question wears a condom.
Letourneau: accredited
Dallas Baptist: accredited
Lubbock Christian: accredited
Oklahoma Christian: accredited
Harding: accredited
Freed-Hardeman: accredited
Abilene Christian: accredited
Just the ones I know off the top of my head are all accredited.
Saline injections, if used properly, work well especially in chemical abortions.
Does that make it right?
College kids who will conscientiously double up on contraception each and every time for their hygienic copulations (her on her endocrine disruptors, him with his latex baggies) are extremely rare. I would reckon -— this is just my guesstimate — that the fuddying and duddying involved in such fastidious contraception would make it rarer than chastity.
“Because birth control practices are not 100% effective.”
Exactly. Things break. I have actually said, “First the Hindenburg and now this!” on more than one occasion.
The ladies involved didn’t think it was funny in the moment.
Yes, I have been fighting the Sexual Double Standard in the Christian community for decades.
It has gotten me labelled a “liberal” by cookie-cutter conservatives who apparently don’t have a problem with hypocrisy or iniquity.
I have witnessed firsthand the devastating results of it on young females who were sexually exploited (whether pregnancy resulted or not), and the corresponding nonexistent results on the young males who initiated the fornication.
I believe in both freedom and responsibility - but for both sexes (and, yes, there are but two).
I have no problem with sinners committing sin within such a context - as long as they confess and repent. After all, that is what sinners do, and why we all need a Savior.
It is the double standards and the phony facades that I oppose.
A pregnant woman in this context must be willing to confess and repent, and the community must be willing to take care of her and her unborn, for are we not opposed to abortion as an escape from consequences?
Here are a few facts about this "worthless" school and degree
from BJU.EDU
Our cumulative NCLEX pass rate since 2002 is above 95%, and our nursing graduates typically outperform national and South Carolina pass rates.
Medical school acceptance rates for BJU premed graduates average greater than 80% versus the current national average of 41%. BJU graduates have been admitted to 67 different medical schools in 28 states.
BJU graduates pursuing medical careers consistently score in the top 25% of the nation on the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). Our 2015 premed graduates pursuing medical careers averaged in the top 17% of the nation on the MCAT.
Engineering graduates have a pass rate of 90% on the National Engineering Exam, with a 100% pass rate in 2012.
Looks pretty worthless huh?
It is a Methodist-affiliated university, but it is not a seminary-type college. (I’ve seen those, and you’re not wrong about it being worthless..) But there’s a difference, the university this lady went to has more than just biblical studies degrees.
Even the college I went to was “Presbyterian” but you’d never know it. They were also extremely liberal (women’s college) but if you got pregnant I’m pretty sure you also had to move out the dorm - it has nothing to do with discrimination. I mean, you’d have to move out anyways after you had your baby? There were a number of women that got removed from the dorm for health-related issues - one of them being Bulimia - so it makes you wonder, could they sue too?
All 117 schools in the CCCU mist be accredited by a trigonal body. I think all the schools you mentioned are in the CCCU.
“Schools like Bob Jones U. are unaccredited, private, cost a fortune to attend and the degree is mostly worthless.”
BJU is accredited. Our friends’ daughter graduated from there and immediately went to Officers Training for a branch of the military. I’m not sure I can share what she does in the service, so I won’t, but it’s amazing, dangerous, and she may be the only female in the field. The military LOVES BJU graduates.
My cousins and brother also graduated from BJU and went for higher degrees; credits transferred. Degree is hardly “worthless”.
why is it the collges fault the girl gets pregnant.
why do they have to change their policies.
ridiculous.
The hypocrisy is that the father of the baby isn’t given the same treatment.
The blame for the pregnancy is wrongly laid at the girl’s feet and the shame is that she got pregnant, not that she was immoral. If the shame was in that, they’d have gone after the guy. He just lucked out because he can’t get pregnant.
The girl’s life is ruined, she went home in shame as if she alone were the one responsible for the pregnancy, but last I checked, the virgin birth has already occurred and it still takes two.
Christian colleges have been hypocritical in this area for WAY too long.
The same penalty ought to be applied to BOTH. Either BOTH can stay in college or neither can.
The double standard sooooo ticks me off.
Why is it so impossible for GUYS to exercise a little self-restraint and say *No* too, if they are not the ones actually pushing the girl for sex in the first place, which is USUALLY how it goes?
Girls in general are more willing to wait.
So can the MAN.
Why throw all the responsibility on the woman? It does take two last I checked.
Or don't you have a problem with guys sleeping around?
Where does it say anything about the father being a student at the University?
Because she has all the power.
She says "yes" or "no" to the sex act, by law.
She gets has the entire term of the pregnancy to decide if she wants to become a parent. He is expected to make that decision before the sex act even occurs.
She gets to unilaterally obligate him to financial support for the child, again by law, if she decides to keep the baby while he has absolutely no legal influence on that decision.
Point taken but the policy is still wrong because when the guy IS I don’t recall hearing of any penalty for him by virtually any Christian college.
The hypocrisy is widely known.
And it does not render my other points invalid.
Nor does your post address that at all. Does that mean you think that (supposing the father of the baby is a student as well) it’s fine for him to remain in college and go on with his life while the girl is kicked out and her life is ruined?
IOW, do you approve of the double standard most Christians colleges have?
Because your rabbit trail there, changing the subject, indicates that you hold the same position, that it’s the girls fault and the policy of not penalizing the guy is fine with you.
Then you should have no trouble demonstrating it rather than REALLY (straining) insisting without evidence.
No, but it does highlight your mentality.
