@Iafontaine - I think it should be a new thread as it brings up so many other questions. ie what right does a college have to tell students what they can or cant believe in.
these are places of education not, for instance, a seminary educaating students into the "correct" thought of whatever religion.
I hope they get their funding cut.
Irony of ironies, this is what they say about themselves:
We have a long and proud history rooted in that of the Dissenters, who were for much of the college’s history excluded from the upper echelons of the British education system. No matter who you are or where you’re from, there is a home for you at Regent’s.
We were founded in the nineteenth century to provide an education for non-Anglicans excluded from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. When we moved to Oxford in 1927 we continued this mission of supporting disenfranchised communities – we were the first college to admit both men and women, and one of the first to publicly show our support for the LGBTQ+ community in the twenty-first by flying the Rainbow Flag. Despite, and perhaps because of, the barriers placed in our way, we’ve always been at the forefront of social change.
Along the way we’ve educated first-class cricketers, members of the House of Lords, laywers, civil servants, teachers, academics, poets, missionaries and abolitionists.
