Baylor University changes sexual misconduct policy

Earlier this year, Baylor University made a discreet change to its sexual misconduct policy by removing a line regarding “homosexual acts.” While some may see this as a small step toward equality at the world’s largest Baptist school, the university has not expressed its approval of gay and lesbian couples.

The school’s 2007 policy said certain actions—including sexual abuse, sexual harassment, sexual assault, incest, adultery, fornication, and “homosexual acts”—could prompt disciplinary action.
