The U.S. Department of Education released a list of faith-based institutions of higher education that were granted exemptions under Title IX, the statute prohibiting sexual discrimination in colleges and universities.
The list comes after much petitioning from LGBT activist groups who requested the information with the goal of incorporating it into an anti-Christian initiative known as the “Shame List,” the Christian Post reported.
According to the list, more than 230 schools have received exemption from Title IX as of April 1, with more than 30 requests still pending. The number of schools seeking Title IX exemptions for religious reasons has climbed since December, when only 60 universities had put in their requests, the Christian post noted.
Noticeably missing from Friday’s document is evangelical Wheaton College.
According to Title IX, “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.”
The Obama administration determined in 2014 that Title IX protection should include transgender individuals who experience sex discrimination.
