The world’s largest Baptist university has removed a ban on “homosexual acts” from its sexual conduct policy, although it remains unclear whether it would welcome married gay couples.
Until now, Baylor University, in Waco, Texas was one of a few American colleges and universities where students, and sometimes staff, could be dismissed for homosexuality.
Engaging in homosexual acts was listed on the misconduct rules along with sexual assault, incest, adultery and fornication.
A university official said on Tuesday that homosexual acts were no longer a punishable offence, although adultery and fornication still go against the school’s emphasis on marital fidelity.
“These changes were made because we didn’t believe the language reflected the university’s caring community,” Baylor spokeswoman Lori Fogleman told Reuters.
