Students at Pepperdine University have amassed nearly 4,000 signatures in an online petition protesting the administration's decision not to grant recognition of a proposed gay and lesbian support group. Students submitted an application for club recognition of their group, Reach OUT, on Nov. 9. They were notified of the denial about a month later. Dean of Students Mark Davis, a spokesman for the university, says the group's mission is not aligned with the conservative religious university's beliefs on sexual morality.
