The Federal District Court has denied a request by the College of the Ozarks for a temporary restraining order while its federal court case is pending.
College of the Ozarks has filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration challenging a directive from the Department of Housing and Urban Development requiring entities, including the college, not to discriminate on the basis of gender identity.
Attorneys for the college say this violates the college’s religious beliefs on biological sex.
“The Biden Administration’s policy forces College of the Ozarks to decide between defending its religious liberty from government overreach or violating our core beliefs,” College President Jerry C. Davis said in a press release.
