BYU very much wants every non-LDS student at BYU to leave their faith for Mormonism. But if it happens the other way around, buh-bye. |
This is in large a reboot of an earlier complaint that was dismissed. Now, they are spicing it up with the LBGT issues.

Levin's group is appealing a university-wide decision from a different accrediting group, which reviewed a similar complaint on the religious-freedom issue but found no violation on the university's part. The Northwestern Commission on Colleges and Universities is one of many accrediting bodies partly responsible for determining American colleges' standing with the federal government.

In one respect, BYU treats former adherents in the same manner as Islam in Egypt treats former Muslims. In Egypt, Coptics are free to join Islam but you are subject to heinous treatment if a Muslim converts to Christianity. Not much different at BYU, which has seen some troubling events in regards to members who lose faith while at BYU.
