Joanna Maxon had been a graduate student at Fuller Theological Seminary for three years, just a few classes shy of a master of arts in theology, when administrators discovered she was in a same-sex marriage. The year-old mother of two was expelled from the Christian school, a recently filed lawsuit alleges, despite being out and open with her relationship since starting the program. Now, Maxon is suing the school, alleging the college violated federal rules barring discrimination against students on the basis of sex.
We remain committed to these relationships in all their complexities while maintaining community standards and a statement of faith that apply to various areas of beliefs and behavior. Students are informed of and explicitly agree to abide by these standards when applying to the institution.
She took out student loans to pay for it. Maxon was married to a man when she applied to the school but filed for divorce shortly before her program began, it says. She started dating a woman sometime later and, by , when same-sex marriage was legalized, the couple got married. For years, she was open about her relationship with students and professors. Because she was married, Maxon filed a joint tax return with her wife in She had one chance for a rebuttal, writing a letter to the dean, saying it would have been better to have the conversation over coffee instead.
She was expelled two months after administrators learned about her marriage. The college has policies against discrimination, which say it does not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, marital status, gender and many other protected characteristics. But it draws a distinction between orientation and behavior. The seminary believes premarital, extramarital and homosexual forms of explicit sexual conducts to be inconsistent with the teaching of scripture.
During the investigation, Southwick said Maxon was never asked about her sexual conduct, only her marital status. His legal argument, which is centered around gender discrimination, says Maxon was treated differently than a man in her same situation; in other words, a man in a relationship with a woman. The federal laws known as Title IX prohibits colleges and universities from discriminating against students on the basis of sex.
