River of Pride, a homosexual activist group, and the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) have demanded that public funding be taken away from Crandall University in Moncton, New Brunswick, because the school’s Statement of Moral Standards requires faculty and staff to have Christian faith and “to be sexually pure, reserving sexual intimacy for within a traditional marriage between one man and one woman, and refraining from the use of pornographic materials.” Since 1996, Crandall has received about $24 million in funding from all levels of government, which includes an annual grant of $150,000 from the city of Moncton. A 1983 act of the New Brunswick legislature gave the school, then called Atlantic Baptist College, the right to grant Bachelor’s degrees.
