John Brown University

==Lifestyle standards==
In the tradition of some other private Christian universities, John Brown University maintains a conservative set of lifestyle choices. Students sign a community covenant stating they will abstain from profanity, pornography, extramarital sexual activity, harassment, tobacco use, alcohol use, and gambling. The covenant also strictly prohibits LGBTQIA+ relationships on campus.<ref>[http://www.jbu.edu/assets/student_development/resource/file/JBU_Student_Handbook_2014-2015.pdf "JBU Student Handbook, 2014-2015" Retrieved on 09-24-14]</ref> Staff and faculty are not required to sign this covenant but must sign a statement of employee expectations. However, the statement they sign includes that they do not believe in LGBTQIA+ relationships.

John Brown University made national news when it changed its long historically held position not to endorse dancing. In December 2006, the school sponsored its own swing-themed dance on campus.<ref>Oppenheimer, Mark.
