Protest over Seattle Pacific University's lifestyle policy continues after two weeks

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

For more than two weeks, students at Seattle Pacific University have continued their protest against the university’s lifestyle policy.

That policy, which restricts teachers in same-sex relationships to work at the university, sparked an uproar among students.

Although it’s finals week at the university and students will either graduate or go off on summer break, students have vowed to continue their sit-in for as long as it takes.

Laur Lugos is days from graduation but she and other students are in for the long haul.

1. It's a private religious school

Students have threatened to sue. But the school can do that.

2. Why would you choose to attend a school like that

If you don't agree with their positions? It's a private school.

I don't get it.

4. The opinions and actions of the board are opposed by the vast majority of the faculty...

Over 80% of the faculty voted to oppose this action by, and express no confidence in, the board. Board members have no real current connection to the university. So this isn't an issue of students being not in alignment with the school, rather the distant and unaccountable board is not in alignment with the positions of the students, faculty, and staff of the university, the people who actually make up the university.

5. Ah. Thank you for the clarity. nt

3. "restricts teachers in same-sex relationships to work at the university" ... what curious wording.

It reads as if teachers in same-sex relationships have no alternative but to work at the university.

Spellcheck is OK, Grammarcheck is OK, but where's IsThatWhatYouMeantToSaycheck ?
