Just months away from graduating from a conservative Christian college in Nebraska, Danielle Powell was working at a civil rights foundation in Mississippi to finish her psychology degree when she was called back to Grace University in Omaha and confronted about her relationship.
She had fallen in love with another woman, a strictly forbidden relationship at a school where even prolonged hugs are banned. She was eventually expelled — then sent a bill for $6,000 to reimburse what the school said were federal loans and grants that needed to be repaid because she did not finish the semester. Powell is now fighting the Omaha school, arguing that her tuition was covered by scholarships and that federal loans should not need to be repaid in that amount.
