Community Irresponsibilities

Now I know the standard I've been holding Houghton to that they didn't meet. It's in their own words:

We also believe the Scriptures condemn certain attitudes, such as greed, jealousy, pride, lust, bitterness, needless anger, harmful discrimination and prejudice whether of race or gender, and an unforgiving spirit. We will seek to repudiate these attitudes in ourselves and in our community. We will seek God's forgiveness and help to grow in grace.

We believe Scripture condemns certain acts, including drinking alcohol to excess, stealing, speaking or writing profanely or slanderously, acting dishonestly, cheating, engaging in occult practice, and engaging in sexual relations outside the bonds of marriage

We believe that Scripture calls us to submit to the authority of government except on those rare occasions in which obedience to the civil authorities would require us to act in conflict with our consciences as they are informed by Scripture. On such occasions, we will submit voluntarily to the civil penalty for our behavior. Behavior resulting in civil or criminal proceedings on or off-campus is subject to review within the college's disciplinary procedures.

...instead of 'be more Christ-like' I'll now simply ask for Houghton to follow their own rules.
