Vanderbilt faith groups make case in new video


A coalition of Vanderbilt University students, faculty and alumni opposed to the school's "all-comers" policy has released a six-minute video explaining why they believe the policy defies common sense and discriminates against Christian groups.

The new policy requires any campus-recognized group -- including religious groups -- to apply, across the board, the university's non-discrimination policy, which forbids discrimination on the basis of race, gender, religion and sexual orientation. For Christian groups, that means they technically cannot require their group leader to be a Christian. Read more
