Constance Shriver Cervantes, the University Compliance Coordinator for the Office of Equal Opportunity and Diversity, and Thomas Baker, the former Associate Dean of Students, were tasked with investigating Miller’s complaint.
The investigation led to the dismantling of the group on the grounds that BLinC violated the University’s “Human Rights Policy” and “denied Miller a leadership position because he was gay,” according to the decision.
Following this action, the Business Leaders in Christ filed a suit alleging that the Human Rights Policy violated the groups First Amendment rights.
