Danielle Powell, Grace University Student Kicked Out for Being Lesbian, Must Repay Thousands
15th June 2013
Danielle Powell was close to getting her bachelor’s degree when she was kicked out of her university for being gay in 2012, and now says the only way the school will transfer her credits to another school is if she agrees to pay $6,300. In response, Powell has launched an online petition to pressure the school to forgive the debt.
My, what a surprise. Aren’t you surprised? I’m sure surprised.
Michael James, executive vice president at Grace, told The Huffington Post that the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act prevents them from discussing any student’s particular case. But he did confirm the student handbook states that “Any student involved in sexually immoral behavior, including premarital sex, adultery, and homosexual acts, is at minimum placed on University probation and may be subject to a Judiciary Hearing.”
The question I have is, why was she attending a religious university? Could somebody please send her a clue?
