The Dallas baptist University 2008-09 Student Handbook contains the following:
Affirmations and Denials
8.We affirm the family, as instituted by God, as the foundation of all civilized
society. The family, as instituted by God is created by the unbreakable union
of one man to one woman in covenant together. To this God may add the
blessing of children. It is the solemn responsibility of parents to rear their
children according to biblical principles and pray for their salvation. We
affirm the biblical teaching of the roles of husband and wife in the family as
rooted in the order of creation and not in temporary cultural conditions. We
further recognize that, living in a broken world involves ministry to broken
families with forgiveness and healing. We deny any teaching that would
excuse sexual promiscuity, adultery, spousal abuse, abortion, or any kind of
homosexual acts or unions as contrary to the express teachings of the Bible
and contrary to the historic faith of the Christian community in all past ages.
The entire policy can be seen in the Simmons College of Kentucky Student Handbook, which can be viewed here.
