Student handbook controversy
HCA provides a handbook to it's students so they understand the rules. this handbook contains a statement of faith in which they list fourteen statements that act as rules and spiritual guidelines. One or two bible verses are listed alongside each statement as justification.
A small number of students are in the process of breaking down these statements and showing faults in them to the administration. As of writing they have addressed each point in the statement of faith, showing particular interest in points II, V, VIII, IX, and X along side the phrase "bisexual conduct".
