Religious Freedom of Religious Colleges

Religious Liberties Practice Group Teleforum

Mr. Gregory S. Baylor of Alliance Defending Freedom will discuss current and future challenges to the religious freedom of faith-based institutions of higher education, focusing on the ongoing debate over California Senate Bill 1146. Earlier versions of SB1146 would have significantly curtailed longstanding religious freedom protections in state anti-discrimination law, thereby exposing faith-based schools to liability for discrimination on the basis of religion, sexual orientation, and gender identity in student and employee relations. The bill's prime sponsor recently removed its most controversial provisions, but he indicated that a similar bill may be proposed in the next legislative session.

Featuring:

• Mr. Gregory S. Baylor, Senior Counsel & Director of the Center for Religious Schools, Alliance Defending Freedom
