College bans student orientation leader from wearing cross necklace

[Adsos Letter]

20. I earned both BA and MA at Sonoma State.

In the article Jarvis stated that:

...being questioned about her religion so bluntly seemed out of character with the university’s usual atmosphere.
“I was really caught off guard because that’s not something I’ve known Sonoma State to be about,” she said. “Usually it’s a very inclusive campus.”

SSU has always been considered one of the most liberal campuses in the CSU system. For years it went by the nickname "Granola State" because of its association with liberal/left values, including freedom of expression, and I'm not aware that that has changed at all.

She does make the comment that:

“Some course work I have kind of been asked to participate in or lectures I have heard have not shed a very kind light on Christianity at times, so there have been a few lectures where I have left,” she said, declining to be more specific. “But I think that is going to be the case in any university, any public university that you attend.”

Just speculating about that statement but, from my experience during six years of coursework there, I'm guessing that what she responded to were simply presentations of Christianity that draw upon the historical record of the last couple of millennia, and refused to paper over the darker side.
