If you go here: http://www.gbhem.org/gbhem/colleges.html
you'll see that DePauw is a United Methodist College.

If you go to the United Methodist Book of Discipline (Rulebook) you'll find the statement that "homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching." http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2004/118/12.0.html

You have the really odd situation of an instructor being suspended for advocating what the college is bound to uphold.

Private college or no, that is weird, and probably not chargeable.

From what I have seen in our church body, the colleges and seminaries are much more liberal and PC than the congregations or the documents that the denominations supposedly follow.
