Evangelical graduate student Mark Schumacher was expelled from Argosy University, a private school in Minnesota where he was a student in the Doctor of Psychology program. Argosy University expelled him for “demonstrat[ing] intolerance for gays and lesbians.” Schumacher filed a suit, including claims for discrimination, breach of contract, arbitrary expulsion, defamation, and violation of his constitutional rights, against the institution.

Judge Donovan Frank, of the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, dismissed Schumacher’s entire complaint in early December 2006. See “Federal Court Rejects Suit Over Expulsion of Grad Student Over Homophobia Allegations” in the January edition of the Lesbian/Gay Law Notes (page 8) for the whole story.
