Baylor Student Senate pushing to drop “homosexual acts” reference in sexual misconduct policy

Baylor University’s Student Senate is pushing to revise a portion of the school’s sexual misconduct policy referencing gay sexual relationships.

Though the group has approved the change, it would still have to be approved by the university’s board of regents.

The policy currently lists “homosexual acts” among the sexually-related conduct that could prompt disciplinary action, along with fornication and sexual abuse, assault and harassment.

But the senate last week voted to recommend dropping the “homosexual acts” reference and instead substitute the phrase “non-marital consensual deviate sexual intercourse.”
