The SH*T List
America's Seven Billion Dollar Problem
What if you knew that $7B a year of taxpayer money funds discrimination?
Of the nearly 900 religiously affiliated institutions of higher education in the United States, there are 214 that actively discriminate against LGBTQ+ persons. These schools do NOT have Title IX exemptions, and yet they require students and/or faculty to sign statements of belief or conduct agreements that ban or silence LGBTQ+ persons. These schools are not safe.
The Sh*t List: America’s Seven Billion Dollar Problem is a book that details the schools, seminaries, and denominations that have these policies and do not have Title IX exemptions. The purpose of this book is threefold:
- To identify the conditions under which it is likely for a school to have a morality clause and/or a Title IX exemption.
- To identify schools that are operating outside of the law by having a morality clause but NOT a Title IX exemption.
- To provide information on religiously affiliated institutions of higher education so that potential students, faculty, and staff can make informed choices regarding education or employment at these schools.
