Concerning GLBT Equality:
The Ouachita Baptist College 2008-9 Tiger Student Handbook contains the following:
Sexual Misconduct
The Ouachita community recognizes that human sexuality is a gift from God for procreation of human life and for the expression of one’s love through marriage. Misuses of God’s gift include, but are not limited to sexual abuse, sexual harassment, promiscuity (including violation of the Biblical teaching against homosexual acts), possession or distribution of pornographic or obscene materials, rape and/ or other immoral sexual acts. Sanctions range from verbal warning to expulsion. Certain acts are illegal under state and/or federal law and my be prosecuted. The university will strive to deal with all individuals constructively and redemptively.
The entire policy can be seen in the Ouchita Baptist College Student Handbook, which can be viewed here.
