The Student Handbook contains an Appendix titled "A Seventh-day Adventist Framework for Relating to Sexual Orientation Differences on the Campus of Andrews University." The premise of this policy is presented in the opening paragraph.
Andrews University strives to be a community where students can flourish in a growing knowledge of God’s Word and His personal plan for their lives. This community includes students who are oriented to the same or more than one sex, who are transgender, or who question their sexual orientation or gender identity (commonly referred to with the acronym LGBT). The University is committed to creating a safe and caring climate where such diverse groups are treated with dignity and respect, in keeping with their value as persons created in the image of God.
