This is not representative of the ideals taught by the church I grew up in

"George Fox University seeks to order its community life around the values and ethics we believe God has given us in the Bible and we rely on its teachings. Those who join our community agree to live consistently with these teachings.

We believe that God has intended sexual relations to be reserved for marriage between a man and a woman. We recognize that this belief may be in conflict with the practice or vision of the larger culture, as Christian beliefs have been in other times and places. Yet we hold to the historic Christian position on this issue while being respectful of those who disagree with us"

I don't remember the whole story, so I'm going to make a hash of it, but George Fox started Quaker but was kind of co-opted fairly recently by a conservative evangelical school they merged with.

You can get a bit of it in the history section.

But definitely no longer a "Quaker" school in a strict sense.

This is the part I don't get. If you get to the point where your OFFICIAL stance implies that you do regular genitals checks then is it not clear that something is WRONG???
