With the Supreme Court recently legalizing same-sex marriage across the country, a number of Christian colleges are under increasing pressure to change—inside and outside their halls.

When Nebraska’s Grace University expelled a student for being in a gay relationship in 2013, it attracted national media attention. Massachusetts’ Gordon College has come under fire for its ban on same-sex relationships, and it lost a city contract when the government of Salem learned it also didn’t hire gays and lesbians. Some students in these colleges have been pressuring the colleges to change from the inside. Cedarville University in Cedarville, Ohio, recently confiscated copies of an alternative campus newspaper that was espousing pro-LGBT views. Those confiscations, naturally, brought more unwanted outside scrutiny to the campus.

“They continue, in an obsessive quest for image control, attempting to squelch controversy and invariably end up publicizing the controversy more widely,” noted Frank LoMonte, executive director for the Student Press Law Center.

Few of these institutions are flush with cash as it is; but now with the legalization of gay marriage, some pundits believe such institutions are putting their tax-exempt status at risk.

“It seems to me very likely that, in the coming years, schools and universities that accept public funds and support will be required—as a condition of those funds—to have nondiscrimination rules that forbid discrimination on sexual-orientation grounds,” says Rick Garnett, a professor who specializes in church and state issues at the University of Notre Dame. “These rules will not distinguish between sexual-orientation discrimination and non-recognition of same-sex marriages.” (The Atlantic)
