bigoted institution in the cross hairs again.
https://www.eugeneweekly.com/2019/08/29/172093/Why is the University of Oregon paying a million bucks to a school (BYU) that discriminates against gay students?
"But some LGBTQ rights advocates believe other universities should be grappling with the same questions that faced their predecessors after the Black 14 story put the Latter-day Saints church’s racial prejudice into the national spotlight 40 years ago.
Instead of answering those questions — or even asking them — universities across the nation, including the UO, are lining up to do business with BYU. A review of dozens of contracts between BYU and the schools it has contracted to compete against on the gridiron shows millions of dollars changing hands between institutions with strict non-discrimination rules and a university that openly and actively discriminates against LGBTQ individuals.
And who will be doing the most to enrich BYU in coming years?
That would be the University of Oregon."
Why?
