Is Your Institution Prepared?

Presidents of Christian higher educational institutions are no strangers to the difficulties of a changing culture and changing laws

  • Are your employment policies up to date?
  • What kinds of clubs are appropriate for your campus?
  • What sorts of strings are attached to the state and federal benefits you enjoy?
  • What is included in your health plans - for employees and students?
  • How will Title IX impact your school in the future?
  • Are Christian ethics reinforced by school admissions, policies, and enforcement?
  • How would you handle media inquiries to issues of Christian convictions in your school?
  • Would following biblical standards threaten your accreditation - or government funding?

As the shifts in law and culture continue, higher educational institutions are experiencing pressure to compromise their Christian missions. When you are leading a complex operation that is tasked with equipping the leaders of tomorrow, these pressures can be daunting.

Are students and employees observing how to stay the course, even in challenging cultural times?

Presidents and leaders of higher educational institutions shouldn’t have to bear the increasing legal burden alone. And a school’s general counsel shouldn’t be overwhelmed by staying current on religious liberty issues when so much else needs attention.

Christian colleges, universities, and seminaries need to remain strong and united, for the good of future generations and the spread of the Gospel.

Schools can further their preparedness and strength through a partnership with Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). ADF has been on the forefront of legal issues impacting the religious freedom of individuals, businesses, schools, churches, and nonprofits for 25 years. We have seen the changes in our culture lead to legal challenges that threaten the ability of Christians to freely live and share the Gospel.

That is why Alliance Defending Freedom launched ADF Ministry Alliance – to provide ministries like Christian higher educational institutions with the religious liberty legal help they need to freely minister. We welcome the opportunity to discuss with you how membership can prepare and protect your school, without the traditionally high cost of robust legal consultation and support.

My recent experience with ADF and attorney Kyle had a very positive outcome. It gives me peace of mind, as a member of ADF, that I have someplace to turn to with questions as our society continues to challenge our Christian belief system. Thank you for your service to Christian organizations and our country.

Q:  Why does pricing for institutions of higher education differ from the pricing for other ministry types?

A:  Institutions of higher education experience greater complexity and diversity of religious freedom legal issues than do other ministry types. As a result, ADF attorneys have to devote considerably more time to ensure your institution is legally prepared, to the greatest extent possible, for the religious freedom threats it could face.
