Augusta State Univ. to counseling student: change your beliefs or get outALLIANCE DEFENSE FUND NEWS RELEASE Augusta State Univ. to counseling student: change your beliefs or get out ADF attorneys file suit after university officials require counseling student to abandon her beliefs to get a degree AUGUSTA, Ga. — Attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund filed suit against Augusta State University Wednesday on behalf of a counseling student told that her Christian beliefs are unethical and incompatible with the prevailing views of the counseling profession. The student, Jennifer Keeton, has been told to stop sharing her beliefs with others and that she must change her beliefs in order to graduate from the counseling program. Augusta State ordered Keeton to undergo a re-education plan, in which she must attend “diversity sensitivity training,” complete additional remedial reading, and write papers to describe their impact on her beliefs. If she does not change her beliefs or agree to the plan, the university says it will expel her from the Counselor Education Program. Case Name: Keeton v.
