Belmont U. adds sexual orientation to its anti-discrimination policy

Inside Higher Ed’s Scott Jaschik reports that after considerable controversy regarding the dismissal of a lesbian coach, the board of Belmont University in Nashville, TN, has officially barred discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. The university also “added a new preamble to its anti-bias policy stating that Belmont is a Christian university and that the university strives ‘to uphold Christian standards of morality, ethics and conduct.’”
