Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California will now have to face two plaintiffs who alleged discrimination when the school expelled them both for being in a same-sex marriage.
This past November, former 53-year-old graduate student Joanna Maxon filed suit against the college, claiming that “Fuller accepts federal funding and doesn’t have a religious exemption under Title IX.” She began attending Fuller in 2015 by taking online courses while attending classes at the school’s regional campus in Texas in hopes of working toward a master of arts in theology degree in order “to become a better supervisor.” After three years into the program, however, the school expelled her allegedly for being in a same-sex relationship, forcing her to repay her federal loans prematurely and “reassess her professional goals.”
