LDS Conservatives Criticize UVSC Anti-Bias Rules
Deseret News (AP) 21Jan00 D4
Some students at Utah Valley State College want the school to change
rules that run counter to their group's constitution. The students belong
to UVSC's unofficial chapter of the Eagle Forum Collegians. President
Kendra Ruzicka wants a requirement lifted that clubs are not allowed to
discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. "Our only concern is that
in our constitution, that based on moral reasons we are opposed to the
homosexual lifestyle."
Group vice-president Ben Sessions claims he failed an English
assignment because he wrote in support of the LDS Church position
against same-sex marriage. The school has referred a letter from the
student group's lawyer to their lawyer. They promise a "timely"
response.
