Grad Student Dismissed for Beliefs Regarding Homosexuality

A lawsuit has been filed against Eastern Michigan University by a graduate student who alleges she was dismissed from a counseling program because of her belief that homosexuality is a sinful behavior. The school intiated a disciplinary program against the student, Julea Ward, despite the fact she followed her supervising professor's advice referring the client to a counselor that did not have issue with the gay lifestyle.

She was informed she needed to undergo a remediation process to change her beliefs. Refusal would result in dismissal from the program. The decision is being based on the belief that non-acceptance of the gay lifestyle is discrimination.

Remediation process to change her beliefs?

Can anyone say "Orwellian?"
