“Biden has still yet to clarify if Title IX exemptions are mandatory or if he has an executive order that is going to make them mandatory, which I feel that if a campus is going to openly discriminate, then it should be mandated that they tell students and that they have a Title IX exemption on file with the federal government.” “Religious organizations and colleges were emboldened during the Trump administration,” Windmeyer, who noted that all 180 schools on the list this year are religiously affiliated, said. Windmeyer said Campus Pride also included the 29 religious colleges and universities named in a class action lawsuit against the Department of Education alleging that the religious exemption is unconstitutional and that it allows religious schools that receive federal funds to discriminate against LGBTQ students. The Trump administration changed that rule so that religious schools were automatically exempt from Title IX, which allowed them to continue receiving federal funds while, for example, enforcing a rule that prohibits students from engaging in gay sex or same-sex relationships. Under President Barack Obama, religious schools had to submit a letter outlining why they needed an exemption to Title IX.

Windmeyer said that part of the reason this year’s update to the list was significant is because of changes the Trump administration made to the Title IX religious exemption process. “They promote an environment of hostility, of discrimination, harassment, toward a group of people, and who wants - when you’re trying to be educated - to have that type of negative learning environment?” Seattle Pacific University made the list of worst colleges for gay students for the first time. “These aren’t just bad campuses or the worst campuses - these campuses fundamentally are unsafe for LGBTQ students, and, as a result, they’re fundamentally unsafe for all students to go to,” Shane Windmeyer, founder and executive director of Campus Pride, said. The list includes Brigham Young University in Utah Seattle Pacific University Malone University in Ohio and Baylor University in Texas.
