Christian Minard did sign to abide by the school’s morality covenant, so the school appears to be justified in expelling her for violating it by marrying another woman.

However, Minard contends that her sexual orientation and her faith in God are compatible.

Several writers at CNN have the story:

Student: I was expelled from Oklahoma school for marrying another woman

First there was friendship. Then there was romance. After that there was marriage.

And now, at what would have been a few weeks from her senior year in college, Christian Minard finds herself expelled from school — because the person she married is another woman.

In a letter from earlier this month that Minard shared with CNN, an administrator at Southwestern Christian University noted that he’d been told of Minard’s same-sex marriage and saw pictures of it posted to Facebook.

Such a union is in apparent conflict with the “lifestyle covenant” of the university “that all students must agree and sign,” he added.

“As an American and a Christian, I do respect your choice,” the administrator wrote. “(But) I have to uphold the Lifestyle Covenant at SCU and confront you with our position.

“Due to this recent event, you will not be able to attend SCU in the future.”

When asked to confirm that the school — which describes itself as part of the “International Pentecostal Holiness” denomination — sent the letter and to elaborate on the decision, the school’s provost, Connie Sjoberg, said only that federal law “prohibits us from confirming if an individual is or has been a student at our institution.”
