I mean, this is the same Trinity Western that wasn’t allowed to open up a law school because they are garbage, right?

They only started to consider dropping their homophobic ways after their law school bid was rejected.
It requires members to abstain from using vulgar language, lying or cheating, stealing, using degrading materials such as pornography, and “sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman.”
While that rule effectively bars anyone who is unmarried from having sexual relations, it’s the reference to “man and a woman” that is considered discriminatory against LGBT people. Same-sex marriage became legal in Canada in 2005.
And Janet, get real. Not being allowed to open a law school because you discriminate against others, doesn’t count as a loss in diversity.
Janet Epp Buckingham, a TWU professor who helped develop the law school proposal, said she was saddened by the ruling.
“We feel that this is a loss for diversity in Canada”
Edit: It looks they stopped making students promise to be straight in 2018, but they didn’t drop it for the staff.

I was unaware of the reputation of the school as I was creating communities for every post-secondary institution in British Columbia to encourage more interest on the Lemmy platform from the public.
However it is fine to post constructive criticisms of schools.
One of the risks of creating dozens of communities for things that you don’t really know anything about, and probably don’t even intend to ever post in, is that you create communities that don’t align with your beliefs, just for the sake of creating another community.
What good are the dozens and dozen of communities with 0 posts?
