Baylor University is a private Baptist research university in Waco, Texas. Baylor was chartered in 1845 and is the oldest continuously operating university in Texas as well as one of the first educational institutions west of the Mississippi River. Baylor is classified among "R2: Doctoral Universities, High research activity". As of August 2023, the U.S. Department of Education has granted Baylor University a religious exemption from Title IX’s regulations prohibiting sexual harassment. This is a novel exercise of religious exemption from Title IX. Baylor’s letter requesting the religious exemption, and the Department of Education’s letter granting the exemption, can be found at this Department of Education link. Updates in this case, and those of two other LGBTQI+ Baylor alumni, can be found at this Religious Exemption Accountability Project link.
