Among the accusations:
• The university refuses to
allow groups like FUEL and
STAR to exist because they go
against Catholic values.
• No gay, lesbian, bi or trans
groups exist at the school other
than a confidential health serv­
ices group.
• Students are being harassed
in the dormitories for being
queer, but the university says it
cannot protect them because
sexual orientation is not includ­
ed in the discrimination policy.
• T he school sent back $1
million from a Portland alum ­
nus last year because he w ant­
ed to start up a gay and lesbian
scholarship fund with it.
The flier encouraged con-
certgoers to write to the univer­
sity and its campus newspaper to
express their support for queer
students. School officials did not
return a telephone call from Just
Out seeking comment.
