Vanderbilt Requires Groups to Ban Discrimination; Gay Student Was Ousted from Christian Fraternity

Tennessee's Vanderbilt University is requiring student groups on campus to comply with its policy of banning discrimination against homosexuals or the transgendered -- regardless of religious beliefs -- the Christian Broadcast Network website reports today (September 29, 2011).

Groups that don't comply could lose funding and access to campus facilities.

The announcement was sparked by a gay student, who said he was dismissed from a Christian fraternity because he is gay.

Vanderbilt's College Republicans President Stephen Siao insisted it's the school that is guilty of discrimination, claiming it has "launched an assault on religious groups on campus."
