Unless that program is funded by a government agency, yes, Baylor has the right to that.

Even if it is funded by a government program, they can do it.
For the 4,213th time, homosexuals arent a federally protected group. None of the 50 states offer them civil right protections and only a handful of cities around the country offer protections. Translated that means in the vast majority of the US, upon discovery that someone identifies as a homosexual (gay or lesbian) they can LEGALLY be fired, evected from rental property, denied admission to a university, be denied a bank loan or credit, denied service at a restauraunt, denied visitation in hospitals, excluded from services and programs offered by the government, have children in their custody removed, or denied other things that the rest of us take for granted as a right.
Most people are really suprised to find out that civil rights protections dont extend to gays. That yes, in 2004 LEGAL, government-sanctioned descrimination DOES still exist.
As MLK said, "An injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
