9 that time of what the policy was? Without looking at 9 case.
10 the notes. Is -- is that what -- is that your statement 10 Q. And why don't you take a second and flip -- just
11 of what the policy is now or what the policy was at the 11 flip through the rest of the document -- is what's
12 time when you -- the BLinC investigation? 12 attached the draft for the BLinC -- the draft findings
13 A. The University -- the University of Iowa's Human 13 from the BLinC investigation?
14 Rights Policy on May 17th is the same as it is today. 14 A. I believe so.
15 Q. Have there been no changes since May 17? 15 Q. Okay. So back to the email. The email -- the
16 A. Since -- not -- not since this point in time. 16 next to the last paragraph in the email from Constance
17 Q. Okay. I'm gonna ask you to go back to Exhibit 17 says, "For your consideration it is the recommendation
18 104. At the bottom you see where -- where you e-mailed 18 of EOD that after this Finding is issued, BLinC's
19 Tom Baker, Tom Rocklin, Anita Cory, and Kristi Finger 19 recognition as a University organization be suspended
20 and you said, "Once the draft is finalized and issued, 20 until the violation is corrected." Do you see that?
21 the below highlighted action is recommended." Do you 21 A. Um-hum.
22 know what that refers to? 22 Q. So now looking above at your email, where it
23 A. I can't recall what I meant by "the highlighted 23 says, "Once the draft is finalized and issues --" that
24 action is recommended -- the below highlighted action." 24 refers to the Findings, correct?

29 30
1 Q. And then "the below highlighted action," does 1 Q. And when you read that email, do you remember
2 that refer to Constance's recommendation that the 2 what your response was to it before you wrote your
3 email -- that BLinC be suspended? 3 response?
4 A. Cor -- I believe so. 4 A. That could be true.
5 Q. And then looking back to Tab Number 104, am I 5 Q. And what -- did you have any thoughts about what
6 correct this is you forwarding -- or at least forwarding 6 kind of problems might arise -- or what implications
7 the email to Kristi Finger? 7 might arise?
8 A. Kristi -- yeah, communicated with me and then I, 8 A. I would -- I'm not certain I understand your
9 in turn, was communicating back to Kristi. 9 question.
10 Q. So below that at the bottom you said, "Once the 10 Q. Well, at the time you received this email, did it
11 draft is finalized," that would be -- you forwarded -- 11 trigger any thoughts, in your mind, about what
12 how did you -- she was on the original email, right? 12 implications there might be for other faith-based groups
13 A. Yes, yes. 13 if BLinC were to be sanctioned?
14 Q. And then she responded and said, "What are the 14 A. Yeah. My -- my thought was that there -- if
15 implications for our other faith-based groups that have 15 there were groups who were in violation of Human Rights
16 Statements of Faith for their student leaders?" Do you 16 Policy, then -- and there could be, and if we received a
17 see that? 17 complaint for a violation, that we would need to
18 A. Correct. 18 investigate.
19 Q. What -- what's your understanding of what her 19 Q. And do you recall, did you read the draft that
20 concern was at that time? 20 Connie sent -- reasonably promptly after she sent it?
21 A. I believe Kristi's concern was that there were -- 21 A. I -- I -- I believe I did.
22 were similar situations or could be similar situations. 22 Q. Would that have been the first time you learned
23 We hadn't received any complaints, but absent the 23 anything about the facts of the situation with BLinC?
24 complaint, she, I believe -- as I'm recalling, there 24 A. No. I believe some of the facts were in --
25 should be concern related to other groups. 25 discussed in that -- May 26th meeting.
31 32
1 Q. Okay. Do you remember what Constance told you 1 Q. So you're not aware of any comments to the draft?
2 about the facts at that time? 2 A. I can't recall. I apologize for not recalling --
3 A. I do not remember. 3 Q. That's fine.
4 Q. Okay. Was there any other time, prior to 4 A. -- but I simply can't.
5 receiving the draft, that you would have learned about 5 Q. And did you provide any written comments or oral
6 the facts of the BLinC situation? 6 responses to the draft?
7 A. I don't know. I can't recall if I had any other 7 A. I don't recall.
8 communication with Connie. I may have, but I simply 8 Q. Okay. It's not a trick question.
9 can't recall. 9 A. No, I know. I'm not -- my effort is nothing

14 in the Findings? 14 A. I do.
15 A. I -- I had conversation with Connie again on May 15 Q. And what is it?
16 26. I'm not certain I can account for what she would or 16 A. This is the -- the official Finding of the formal
17 wouldn't include, based on our conversation. 17 complaint of discrimination against BLinC. Excuse me.
18 Q. And beyond that did you have any other input into 18 Q. And why would you have been -- am I correct that
19 the draft? 19 you are cc'd on this document on the last page?
20 A. I can't recall. 20 A. Yes, I -- yes.
21 Q. If you look at the email from Constance again at 21 Q. Okay. And what was the purpose -- what would
22 105 -- well, she's says, "Attached is the final draft." 22 have been the purpose of you receiving this document?
23 Do you know if anybody made any comments in response to 23 A. Given her findings that the Human Rights Policy
24 receiving the draft? 24 was violated, in my capacity as Executive Director of

2 sanctions are warranted. That's why she would have 2 governing -- I assume there are rules governing this
5 point would be -- 5 Q. And under those rules do you have any obligation

12 Q. Okay. Do you have a document -- and just to 12 for all the documents that were reviewed in the process
14 here on time so we have a more complete binder that's 14 A. I don't believe I did that.

8 Q. What was Tom Baker's role in this? 8 A. Correct.
9 A. Tom Baker participated in the investigation with 9 Q. So one purpose of the meeting was to determine
10 Connie. He was involved in some part or all of her 10 whether there were grounds for a violation; is that

12 Q. Do you know what his employment relationship is 12 A. Are you referencing the meeting that occurred on

14 A. At the time Tom was the Associate Dean of 14 Q. Well, the meeting that's referred to here. It
15 Students, and Tom had a role in -- a liaison role with 15 did happen on September 1st. So when he refers to the
16 both the Office of Equal Opportunity and Diversity and a 16 meeting, is the purpose of the meeting -- he says you

18 Mr. Baker will need to define that more specifically. 18 not the actions violated one of the rules, correct?
19 Q. Okay. So do you know why he would have been the 19 A. Yes. The -- our policy requires that I meet with

22 the process. Again, this -- as I reference this, this 22 of that meeting?
23 isn't a usual practice over time, so -- again, I 23 A. Again, as I referenced earlier, it's not to

43 44
1 seems to be saying that the Complainant self-reported 1 Q. Okay. And you were cc'd on this letter, correct?
2 that he was gay, correct? 2 A. Correct.
3 A. Correct. 3 Q. And the letter's dated July 14th, 2017?
4 Q. And that seems to be saying that he was denied a 4 A. Correct.
5 position in BLinC for that reason, correct? 5 Q. And the meeting you held with BLinC was on
6 A. I don't know what Tom was inferring. 6 September 1st, 2017; is that correct?
7 Q. Okay. In the second sentence he seems to suggest 7 A. Correct.
8 that there was no further discussion of actual sexual 8 Q. And so this letter came in before that meeting?
9 practices, correct? 9 A. Correct.
10 A. That's what he wrote. 10 Q. In the second paragraph, could you read that,
11 Q. Okay. And do you read that to say that he thinks 11 please, to yourself?
12 there should have been? 12 A. Yes. To myself?
13 A. Again, I don't know what his intent was, but I, 13 Q. Please.
14 as I shared, I recall from Connie's Finding and the 14 A. (Pause.) I have read it.
15 materials in the Finding, that there were subsequent 15 Q. Okay. What's your understanding of what Mr.
16 conversations between the Complainant and the 16 Estell was trying to express?
17 Respondent. 17 A. Frankly, I was a bit confused with that paragraph
18 Q. Okay. I'm gonna ask you to look at 18 because I know that the communication between the
19 document exhibit -- or the document behind Tab 109. 19 Complainant and the Respondent did not involve Jacob
20 A. (Nodding.) 20 Estell. It was between -- I don't know if I can say the
21 Q. Do you recognize this document? 21 name or not, but it was -- the Respondent who was named
22 A. I do. 22 initially, the then-president, and so the communication
23 Q. Okay. What is it? 23 that occurred that we were talking about earlier between
24 A. A communication from, I believe -- yes, Mr. 24 the then-president of the student organization BLinC and
25 Estell to Dean Redington. 25 then the -- Complainant.

1 Q. And you see on the second page with Jacob's 1 A. Oh, excuse me. Yes. Correct, I apologize.
2 signature, it says "President, Business Leaders in 2 Q. "The student was not eligible to be a leader in
3 Christ"? 3 BLinC only because he stated that he disagrees with, and
4 A. Um-hum. 4 would not try to live by, BLinC's Christian principles,
5 Q. And you're aware that he became the president 5 which means he would not effectively lead our group,"
6 after Hannah Thompson, who was the original president, 6 correct?
7 correct? 7 A. That is what it -- that's what he wrote.
8 A. Correct. 8 Q. Do you understand the distinction of what Jake
9 Q. And that he would have had authority to speak on 9 was trying to make there?
10 behalf of BLinC, correct? 10 A. I think he was -- I'm not certain -- but I
11 A. Correct. 11 believe he was trying to state that the Complainant was
12 Q. And what's your understanding then of what he was 12 not categorically denied the opportunity because he
13 trying to express in the second paragraph? 13 admitted to be gay. Rather he was denied the
14 A. He was stating that the group did not 14 opportunity because he wouldn't live by BLinC's
15 discriminate against the Complainant based on sexual 15 principles.
16 orientation, but the original communication, involving 16 Q. And if that were true, would that have violated
17 Hannah Thompson, directly did so. 17 the Human Rights Policy, as you understood it at that
18 Q. So the sentence starting, "The student 18 time?
19 participated in BLinC before asking for a leadership 19 A. Repeat that again.
20 position, and remains welcome to participate, even as a 20 Q. So you said that your understanding was that
21 leader, regardless of his orientation." 21 Jacob was trying to say that Marcus Miller, who was the
22 A. Um-hum. 22 Complainant, correct?
23 Q. Correct? 23 A. Correct.
24 A. Um-hum. 24 Q. That he was not denied a leadership position
25 Q. Then the next -- 25 because of his sexual orientation?
47 48
1 A. Correct. 1 Leaders in Christ's Statement of Faith, and in the --
2 Q. But rather that he was denied a leadership 2 Doctrine of Personal Integrity, there's a connection
3 position because he disagreed with BLinC's Christian 3 between the two.
4 principles; is that correct? 4 Q. Now, that statement was submitted to the
5 A. Correct. 5 University after the September 1st meeting, correct?
6 Q. If that statement were true, that Mr. Miller was 6 A. The -- the updated statement that included the
7 denied a leadership position only because he refused to 7 Doctrine of Personal Integrity was submitted after, yes.
8 live by BLinC's Christian principles, would that have 8 Q. Okay. And do you recall that that statement did
9 violated the Human Rights Policy? 9 not exist in the constitution prior to the September 1st
10 A. Yes. 10 meeting?
11 Q. Why? 11 A. Correct, it was added after.
12 A. Because it would be discriminatory based on his 12 Q. So on July 14th that statement was not in the
13 sexual orientation. 13 constitution, correct?
14 Q. So he just -- Mr. -- Mr. Estell just says, right, 14 A. Correct.
15 that he was -- only denied a leadership position because 15 Q. So just, hypothetically, if Marcus Miller were
16 he disagreed with Christian principles. Doesn't say 16 not gay but indicated that he did not agree with BLinC's
17 anything about sexual orientation. If he had been 17 Christian principles and was denied a leadership
18 denied the position just because he refused to abide by 18 position for that reason, at that time, as you
19 the Christian principles of BLinC, would that alone have 19 understood the policy then, would that have violated the
20 been a violation of the Human Rights Policy, as you 20 Human Rights Policy?
21 understood the policy at that time? 21 A. No.
22 A. Yes. 22 Q. So it was simply because the belief that Marcus
23 Q. Why? 23 Miller disagreed with -- concerned homosexuality, that
24 A. As I -- as I stated, because it references 24 you believe there was a violation?
25 that -- the -- I'm trying to think back to the Business 25 A. I believe there was a violation because he
Page 45 to 48 of 264 EDWARDS REPORTING SERVICE 319-338-3776 or 319-465-3654 12 of 93 sheets
49 50
1 admitted to the then-president that he was gay, and the 1 communication, yes.
2 offer for the vice president position was retracted 2 Q. And do you have any reason to think that that
3 after he made the admission. 3 email was -- or that the letter was dated incorrectly?
4 Q. Hypothetically, if Mr. Miller was not gay, but 4 A. No, no.
5 simply disagreed with BLinC's Christian views on 5 Q. And at 110 -- Tab 110, what's your -- what's your
6 homosexuality, and was denied a leadership position for 6 understanding of what this is?
7 that reason, would that have violated the Human Rights 7 A. This is a communication from Lyn -- Dr. Lyn
8 Policy? 8 Redington, the then-Dean of Students and Assistant Vice
9 A. No. I apologize. That took me a while to -- 9 President for Student Life, sharing that with me. I --
10 connect. 10 frankly, the -- I think this was sent to Lyn in error
11 Q. That's fine. Thank you. Okay. I'm going to ask 11 because the process didn't require the student to
12 you -- to look at the document numbered 110. Do you 12 send -- I think -- I believe the student was under the
13 recognize this document? 13 understanding that he should communicate with the Dean.
14 A. Yes. 14 And I think that was just a simple -- I'm assuming that
15 Q. And this email is dated the same day as the 15 was just a simple error on Jacob's part and that the
16 letter from Jacob Estell, correct? 16 commun -- so she was simply sending that to me as -- a
17 A. Correct. 17 note that this was -- again, the resolution -- I begin
18 Q. And that letter from Jacob Estell was sent to you 18 the resolution stage. Dr. Redington is involved in the
19 via email; is that correct? 19 appeal stage, so she's getting it to me because I'm the
20 A. I was -- if I'm understanding, it was copied on 20 next step.
21 the letters you sent to Dr. Redington. 21 Q. Okay. And so she was basically just forwarding
22 Q. Correct. And you would have received that -- if 22 Jacob's letter back to you, and she says, "I believe
23 the letter is accurate, you would have received that on 23 BLinC can appeal the sanction, not the Finding." Is
24 July 14, correct? 24 that true?
25 A. Correct. Yes, I was copied on that 25 A. Correct.
51 52
1 Q. And then she says, "I can guess how he saw the 1 confusing the resolution stage with the appeal stage.
2 report which precipitated this letter, but that doesn't 2 Q. Okay. I'm gonna ask you to look at Document 111.
3 really matter." Do you know what she's referring to 3 Do you recognize this document?
4 there? 4 A. I don't.
5 A. I do not. 5 Q. Okay. It's dated the same -- it's also dated
6 Q. And in the appeal to Lyn Redington, as far as you 6 July 14, 2017, correct?
7 understand the procedures, is there a process there 7 A. Um-hum.
8 where a student organization could contest the factual 8 Q. And -- can you answer "yes" or "no"?
9 findings? 9 A. Excuse me. Yes. I apologize. Yes.
10 A. I believe -- again, this is probably a more 10 Q. Thank you. It then says, "Lyn, Met on
11 appropriate question for Connie -- but the Findings 11 Wednesday," and then there's a list of people with Bill,
12 again are a part of the EOD process, and there -- I 12 Tom, Bill, and so forth, correct?
13 believe there's a process to challenge the finding at 13 A. Um-hum.
14 that level. 14 Q. So this -- if you -- was that a "yes" or "no"?
15 Q. So once it gets to you, as far as you know, no 15 A. Yes.
16 one looks beyond the findings? 16 Q. Okay. And on July 14th -- that was a Friday,
17 A. Correct. 17 July 14, 2017 -- I'll represent to you that was a
18 Q. Did you have any further discussion with Lyn 18 Friday. So Wednesday would have been two days before
19 Redington about Jake's letter? 19 that, correct?
20 A. Yeah, we may have talked about the next line. 20 A. Correct.
21 Again, I think part of Lyn's urgency in getting the 21 Q. And do you recall this meeting? This would have
22 document to me was, again, knowing that she had a role 22 been two days then before you received the letter --
23 in the appeals process, that -- wanting to get it to me 23 A. Right.
24 to begin the resolution process quickly -- or not 24 Q. -- from Jake.
25 necessarily quickly -- but just so that we weren't 25 A. I'm not able to place this in any kind of
13 of 93 sheets EDWARDS REPORTING SERVICE 319-338-3776 or 319-465-3654 Page 49 to 52 of 264
53 54
1 context. I apologize. 1 the -- I -- a short time -- I can't -- I'm not for
2 Q. It says, "Letter re sanctions will come from 2 certain of the length of time of her tenure, but it was
3 Bill," correct? 3 short. I believe that this is some form of an
4 A. Correct. 4 explanation that -- again, that the resolution and
5 Q. Or J.T. Timmons? 5 sanctions happen from Bill and J.T. and not from her,
6 A. Correct. 6 which could be the reference related to the whole notion
7 Q. Who's J.T. Timmons? 7 why Jake had sent that note to her because he wrote in
8 A. That's what's confusing. J.T. Timmons is the 8 that note to Lyn, I remember, "That my understanding is
9 Director of Recreational Services, and so J.T. has a 9 you, Dr. Redington, do sanctions," and that's not
10 role that's parallel with my role when it involves 10 correct. So I'm not -- I don't know whose handwriting
11 sports clubs. That's why I'm a bit confused on how J.T. 11 this is. But I'm thinking that this is a cryptic
12 is brought into this, because J.T. -- Bill Nelson, I, do 12 explanation to Lyn that she doesn't manage the
13 resolution related to Registered Student Organizations. 13 resolution and sanctions part, that she manages the
14 J.T. Timmons does resolution related to sports clubs. 14 appeals process.
15 Q. Okay. Do you ever -- do you remember ever being 15 Q. Okay. And then you see below that it says,
16 in a meeting with J.T. Timmons about the BLinC 16 "Waited on sanctions until 24:7." Do you see that?
17 investigation? 17 A. Um-hum.
18 A. I don't. 18 Q. Is it fair to assume that "Waited on sanctions,"
19 Q. This refers to sanctions, though, correct? Do 19 that means that you were waiting on sanctions for BLinC
20 you see where it says, "Letter re sanctions will come 20 until 24:7?
21 from Bill"? 21 A. I don't know what that means. I apologize.
22 A. Yeah, I'm making a -- an assumption, that this is 22 Q. Okay. I'm gonna ask you to look at Document 112.
23 somewhat of an explanation to Lyn about our process. 23 Do you recognize this document?
24 Lyn was new. Lyn's -- only served in the role of Dean 24 A. From -- not from the original -- not from 7/19
25 for less than two years. So this would have been on 25 but perhaps in the document production process. I --
55 56
1 Q. Okay. You have no original recollection -- you 1 weren't communicated to BLinC until after our --
2 don't know whose handwriting this is? 2 September 1 meeting. I believe September 13.
3 A. I don't. I -- I don't. 3 Q. In your mind, by this time had you already
4 Q. Okay. And it refers to the BLinC appeal. This 4 settled on sanctions?
5 was five days after the last note, correct? 5 A. No.
6 A. Um-hum. 6 Q. How do you know that, or how do you remember
7 Q. And it says, "BLinC appeal," correct? 7 that?
8 A. Um-hum. Yes. 8 A. Because I hadn't spent time with the students
9 Q. Thank you. 9 yet.
10 MR. CARROLL: I know. It's hard. 10 Q. Okay.
11 A. Yes. I apologize to you. 11 A. This -- oh --
12 Q. Then it says, "Drafter: Draft brief email to 12 Q. Go ahead.
13 Jacob to -- have to outline sanctions. First will come 13 A. Reading this confirms my speculation about the --
14 from Nelson," correct? 14 previous page -- was again, someone needed to
15 A. Um-hum. 15 communicate -- someone was instructing Lyn to
16 Q. Told to -- is that a "yes" or "no"? 16 communicate to Jacob that I'm the next step in the
17 A. Yes: 17 process, not her --
18 Q. "Told to wait on sending Bill Nelson letter," 18 Q. Okay.
19 correct? 19 A. -- which was what I was stating earlier.
20 A. Correct. 20 Q. Thank you. I ask you to look at Tab 113.
21 Q. Had the sanctions already been decided by this 21 A. I -- I don't have 113.
22 time? 22 Q. I am gonna ask you to take a look at what I am
23 A. No. 23 gonna hand you as a document that's behind Tab 113. Do

25 A. Because I issue the sanctions and the sanctions 25 A. Yes.

1 Q. And what is it? 1 Miller, would you have produced it in this case?
2 A. It's a communication from Marcus Miller to Lyn 2 A. If there -- if there was an email from me to
3 Redington; Marcus asking to schedule a meeting with 3 Marcus, I would have produced it. I can't recall there,
4 Dr. Redington. 4 if I did or not.
5 Q. And then what does the top half of the email say? 5 Q. Okay. Would you -- are you willing to
6 A. Related to -- oh, a communication from Lyn asking 6 double-check your email to make sure you haven't emailed
7 me to respond to Marcus' previous request. 7 Marcus Miller?
8 Q. And did you respond to Marcus Miller? 8 A. I can, yes.
9 A. I don't know if I did or not. 9 MR. BAXTER: Okay. Counsel, I'll follow up
10 Q. Did you ever have any direct communications with 10 with you on that. No further questions on that
11 Marcus Miller? 11 document.
12 A. No. 12 A. If I were to follow up with him, it was simply to
13 Q. You never emailed him? 13 acknowledge Lyn asked me to do so, but -- yeah, I don't
14 A. I have never spoken to Marcus. I've never met 14 recall.
15 Marcus. I may have emailed him. 15 Q. So is there any reason why you wouldn't have
16 Q. Is there any -- why would you have emailed him? 16 reached out to him when she specifically asked you to?
17 In what circumstances might you have emailed him? 17 A. I -- again, if I would have reached out to him, I
18 A. I can say I might not have emailed him simply 18 would have just been acknowledging that the case -- the
19 because of his role, and then me needing to meet with 19 case is still pending and not resolved. I simply don't
20 the students. 20 recall if I did. That's why I -- what I would have
21 Q. Did you -- when you searched your emails -- did 21 said.
22 you search your emails in response to document 22 Q. Okay. We've been going a little over an hour.
23 production -- 23 Do you want to take a short break? Are you okay if we
24 A. Yes. 24 go on?
25 Q. -- issues? If there were an email to Marcus 25 A. I am okay to keep going a little bit.
59 60
1 Q. Okay. And you mentioned previously the meeting 1 Q. And had you communicated with Tom before going
2 that took place on September 1st, 2017, correct? 2 into the meeting?
3 A. Correct. 3 A. Yes.
4 Q. And can you remind me what was the purpose of 4 Q. And was that communication via email?
5 that meeting? 5 A. I know we had face-to-face communication.
6 A. Yes. The purpose of the meeting was to -- I -- I 6 Q. Do you recall if there were any email
7 wrote the students. Well, my secretary was -- attempted 7 communications?

11 believe I communicated both to you and to Jacob about 11 Q. Okay. There have been no such emails produced.
12 the -- the flow of the meeting. I did so at the end of 12 Will you recheck your email and find me such emails?
13 August related to that, but it was, again, to -- hear 13 A. I will. As I share, I definitely remember
14 the facts of the case, as presented by Mr. Baker, in 14 face-to-face communication. Tom's office is directly
15 general, to allow the students to ask questions, make 15 down the hall, and so a lot of our -- majority of our
16 additional comments. Again, I -- I believe I was clear 16 communication is face-to-face.
17 in the August communication that this was not about 17 Q. And what was the substance of those discussions
18 disputing the findings, and so the meeting happened on 18 concerning the September 1 meeting or the -- BLinC

12 that BLinC had taken, that were the subject of the 12 A. Yes. Jacob Estell, Brett Eikenberry, and then
13 investigation? 13 you, Mr. Baxter, and I believe Mr. Blomberg.
14 A. Any -- personal views, I -- I think about 14 Q. Mr. Blomberg, correct?
15 professional views, in my professional context, and my 15 A. Blomberg, excuse me.
16 personal views and my professional views align. I -- 16 Q. Um-hum. Do you recall at that meeting that early
17 again, based on the Findings from EOD, I believe that 17 in the meeting Tom raised that issue, do you recall,
18 there was a -- a violation. 18 that Christian Legal Society, the CLS, had been allowed
19 Q. Okay. Did you and Tom have any disagreements 19 to maintain registered status even though it had
20 about what would happen in the meeting? 20 requirements in its constitution that forbade sexual
21 A. I don't believe so. 21 relationships outside of marriage?
22 Q. Do you recall the substance of what happened in 22 A. Yes.
23 the meeting? 23 Q. In fact, at that meeting Tom said that groups can
24 A. In generalities, yes. 24 require leaders to be abstinent outside of the
25 Q. Okay. Do you recall -- 25 institution of marriage, that the focus needs to be on
63 64
1 that need to ask about sexual relationships outside of 1 outside of any marriage would be permissible?
2 marriage; do you remember that? 2 A. If applied universally, to all.
3 A. I remember the -- the -- the subject being 3 Q. Would a religious requirement that leaders
4 that -- as long as the requirement is both to those who 4 abstain from homosexual sexual relationships be
5 identify as homosexual and those who identify as 5 acceptable?
6 heterosexual. 6 A. If it was applicable to all.
7 Q. Okay. Do you recall that Tom took the position 7 Q. Okay. And do you recall Tom saying that the
8 that BLinC was distinguishable from the CLS situation 8 University could not tell an environmental organization
9 because BLinC failed to ask follow-up questions about 9 that it had to allow a climate denier to be -- I'm
10 Marcus Miller's practices or whether he was involved in 10 sorry. Do you recall Tom saying that the University
11 a sexual relationship? 11 would not -- could not tell a student group focused on
12 A. I believe Tom stated something of that general 12 environmental issues to have a climate denier as its
13 nature. 13 leader?
14 Q. So you and Tom both agreed that it would be okay 14 A. I recall Tom using the -- this analogy of that
15 for a student group to require its leaders to abstain 15 nature.
16 from sexual relationships outside of marriage, correct? 16 Q. Okay. So at the time of that meeting it was the
17 A. If it applied to both heterosexuals and 17 University's policy that groups could require their
18 non-heterosexuals. 18 leaders to embrace the group's mission; is that correct?
19 Q. Okay. So a religious requirement to abstain from 19 A. Say that again.
20 marriage outside -- to abstain from sexual relationships 20 Q. Is it permissible for a student organization at
21 outside of marriage between a man and a woman -- or 21 the University of Iowa to require its leaders to embrace
22 outside of marriage would be okay? 22 the mission of the organization?
23 A. Say that again, please. 23 A. Yes.
24 Q. A requirement for leaders -- a religious 24 Q. Okay. And can that requirement be written into
25 requirement for leaders to abstain from sexual activity 25 the constitution?

65 66
1 A. Yes. 1 Q. And that that religious philosophy included
2 Q. Okay. And can the leaders be required to sign a 2 beliefs that homosexual -- or that sexual conduct
3 statement affirming that provision of the constitution? 3 outside of marriage between a man and a woman is sinful,
4 A. Yes. 4 correct?
5 Q. Do you recall that -- that Jake and Brett, who 5 A. Correct.
6 were at the meeting, contested the investigators' 6 Q. And if they had been correct, if you were
7 Findings during the meeting? 7 reviewing -- let's say you had authority to review the
8 A. I don't recall if they did it or you did it. I 8 findings and you believed what they said, would you have
9 remember there being a contest. 9 issued sanctions against BLinC?
10 Q. Okay. And do you remember what the contest was? 10 A. I would not have as long as they didn't violate
11 A. I -- I think we've -- not specifically. But I 11 the University of Iowa's Human Rights Policy.
12 believe it was around what we've discussed earlier, the 12 Q. Okay. And if they were correct, they wouldn't
13 notion about the claim of -- the student being given a 13 have been violating it up to that point, correct?
14 leadership opportunity and then it being retracted 14 A. Correct.
15 because he admitted to being gay versus, I think, some 15 Q. Okay. And, in fact, at the meeting you asked if
16 of the substance that was in the communication he wrote 16 those beliefs were expressly written down somewhere; is
17 to Dr. Redington. 17 that correct?
18 Q. So basically BLinC argued, right, that they had 18 A. Correct.
19 denied Mr. Miller a leadership position because he 19 Q. And then you said it would be helpful to have
20 disagreed with religious philosophy, correct? 20 that in the group's constitution, right?
21 A. Correct. 21 A. Or in the governing documents, correct.
22 Q. And that they would have allowed anybody who was 22 Q. Okay. So you were asking them to detail their
23 gay to be a leader if they accepted their religious 23 religious beliefs in their constitution or in other
24 philosophy, correct? 24 governing documents, correct?
25 A. That's what they said. 25 A. Correct.
67 68
1 Q. And specifically you were referring to their 1 that?
2 beliefs about sexual activity outside of marriage 2 A. If there's a policy violation or a complaint, we
3 between a man and a woman, correct? 3 will.
4 A. Correct. And -- correct. 4 Q. So you only require that if there's been a
5 Q. Okay. And BLinC agreed that it would make clear 5 complaint?
6 that its leaders were expected to hold BLinC's religious 6 A. Correct.
7 beliefs, correct? 7 Q. And what exactly is the heightened requirement
8 A. Correct. 8 for groups that have received a complaint?
9 Q. Okay. And have you ever required any other 9 A. Excuse me -- here.
10 student groups to detail their religious beliefs in 10 Q. Well, you said that if there's a complaint
11 their constitution? 11 against a student group they'd have to -- you know, you
12 A. No. 12 took specific action or request -- requested specific
13 Q. Why did you ask BLinC to do that? 13 action from BLinC because they -- received a complaint.
14 A. Because they had committed a Human Rights 14 A. Um-hum.
15 Violation, and I wanted to -- moving forward, prevent 15 Q. Was that a "yes" or a "no"?
16 that so -- which was one of the reasons I issued my -- 16 A. Yes. Yes.
17 in my sanction about the clear qualifications for 17 Q. What were the -- what are the specific
18 leadership roles, as well as clear interview protocols 18 requirements that are imposed on a group that has
19 so that we wouldn't accidently, inadvertently, or 19 received a san -- a complaint?
20 perhaps on purpose ask inappropriate questions that 20 A. I -- I'm not certain I know what your --
21 could get the group -- in violation. 21 Q. So you --
22 Q. Okay. Are other -- are other groups expected to 22 A. -- question --
23 meet those same standards? 23 Q. At the meeting you asked BLinC to make changes to
24 A. Yes. 24 its constitution and you're saying now that that is
25 Q. And have you followed up with those groups to do 25 because a complaint was filed against them, correct?
17 of 93 sheets EDWARDS REPORTING SERVICE 319-338-3776 or 319-465-3654 Page 65 to 68 of 264
69 70
1 A. I don't think that's exactly correct. 1 from leaders and members.
2 Q. Okay. Explain what you meant to say. 2 Q. What do you say -- when you say all groups have
3 A. So, as I recall, the conversation was around the 3 that expectation, what do you -- how -- what are you
4 notion that the context -- as -- as I'm thinking about 4 basing that on?
5 it was -- I was thinking about the notion that 5 A. It's just -- I think it's just good practice that
6 students -- I'm sorry, I'm -- your question one more 6 if you're going to be a leader or a member of an
7 time. 7 organization that you be fully aware of what is expected
8 Q. Sure. At the meeting on September 1st, 2017, you 8 of you and what is expected among the leadership and
9 asked BLinC to detail its religious beliefs concerning 9 membership.
10 marriage and sexuality in its constitution, correct? 10 Q. So it's good practice, but does the University
11 A. Correct. 11 have any requirement that groups detail certain beliefs
12 Q. And you then stated that that was because they -- 12 in their constitutions?
13 a complaint had been filed against them, correct? 13 A. No.
14 MR. CARROLL: Well, that's a misstatement of 14 Q. Okay. Why did you ask BLinC to do that?
15 the record. His role was after the EOD found the 15 A. Because I thought it would be useful, moving
16 complaint to be valid. So it's not the complaint that 16 forward, to ensure ongoing compliance with policy moving
17 drove that meeting. It was the EOD Findings. 17 forward.
18 Q. Let me correct. You -- you -- you were 18 Q. BLinC had already told you, right, that they did
19 stating -- as I understand it, you were stating that you 19 not discriminate against anyone because of their sexual
20 required BLinC to detail its religious beliefs 20 orientation, correct?
21 concerning marriage and sexuality in its constitution 21 A. They had told me that, yes.
22 because of the EOD Findings against it, correct? 22 Q. And they told you that they intended to move
23 A. Not necessarily. I think it's because it's 23 forward with a standard that would require their leaders
24 really important that all student organizations have 24 to abide by their beliefs about sexual activity outside
25 very complete, thorough expectations of what they expect 25 of marriage, correct?
71 72
1 A. Correct. 1 you asked any other groups besides BLinC, including
2 Q. But that they would not categorically discrim -- 2 groups whose title indicate that they discriminate on
3 that someone who was gay could still be a leader if they 3 bases listed in the Human Rights Policy, to detail their
4 agreed with those beliefs, correct? 4 beliefs or their standards for leaders in their
5 A. Correct. 5 constitution to ensure ongoing compliance with the Human
6 Q. So was there any reason to require BLinC to put 6 Rights Policy?
7 that into its constitution? 7 A. No.
8 A. Again, to ensure ongoing compliance. 8 Q. And that time you agreed that if BLinC would add
9 Q. And have you ever required that of any other 9 that additional language into its constitution, that
10 group on campus? Just "yes" or "no." 10 that would resolve -- that would enable it to remain a
11 A. No. 11 registered group on campus, correct?
12 Q. Are you aware of groups that have in their names 12 A. I -- in my letter of sanction, I required them
13 words that would indicate that the group discriminates 13 to --
14 on the basis of sex or gender or sexual orientation? 14 Q. I'm just asking: At the meeting -- at the
15 A. Yes. 15 meeting you indicated that if BLinC would add that
16 Q. Have you asked any of those groups to detail 16 language into its constitution, that would resolve your
17 their beliefs in their constitution to ensure ongoing 17 concerns about any ongoing violation of the Human Rights
18 compliance? 18 Policy, correct?
19 A. We had -- 19 A. Correct.
20 Q. Just have you asked any of them to -- to add 20 Q. And BLinC agreed that it would do that, correct?
21 their detailed beliefs into their constitution to ensure 21 A. Correct.
22 ongoing compliance? 22 Q. And then BLinC asked if there was a way to
23 A. We've asked them to insert the University of 23 correct the adverse Finding that they had rejected
24 Iowa's Human Rights Policy in its entirety. 24 Marcus Miller solely because of his sexual orientation;
25 Q. Okay. I'm gonna ask the question again. Have 25 do you remember that?
Page 69 to 72 of 264 EDWARDS REPORTING SERVICE 319-338-3776 or 319-465-3654 18 of 93 sheets
73 74
1 A. Yes. 1 A. That she would have access to their file and
2 Q. And Tom explained that there was an opportunity 2 their file could have that in there.
3 to appeal to correct the Finding, but that -- that if 3 Q. Okay.
4 BLinC elected not to appeal, it could submit a statement 4 A. Whether or not -- the merit she gave that, that
5 in the record -- that that didn't mean the University 5 would be Lyn's --
6 would correct the record, but that the statement would 6 Q. Why wouldn't you have considered the same thing?
7 be there; do you recall that? 7 A. Because I accepted the Findings from the EOD.
8 A. I recall that, correct. 8 Q. Okay. Why would you expect the appeal from your
9 Q. Okay. So at that time it was your understanding 9 sanctions to review the Finding of the EOD, but not your
10 that on the appeal BLinC could contest the factual 10 own sanctions decision?
11 findings of the investigation; is that correct? 11 A. Again, I think it's -- what Mr. Baker said, they
12 A. They could submit a letter countering that to be 12 had the opportunity to submit that. The merit that Lyn
13 part of their file. 13 Redington would give, that would be up to her.
14 Q. Okay. And so you would have expected Lyn 14 Q. Okay. In the policies that govern this
15 Redington to review their -- their allegations and the 15 procedure, is there anything written that would protect
16 factual record that was developed by Constance 16 the right to the student group to contest the factual
17 Cervantes; is that correct? 17 finding?
18 A. Would I have expected that? 18 A. Again, I think the context of the factual
19 Q. Yes. 19 findings happens at the EOD investigation. That's where
20 A. I think Lyn would have -- as my boss, I don't 20 the Findings are derived and issued, and so -- again,
21 know if I would have expected that of her. It seemed 21 I -- that's a really good question for Connie, but I --
22 like that's what she should do. 22 I believe that is an opportunity to appeal the Findings
23 Q. Okay. So you think there should be a -- you 23 of EOD.
24 didn't expect to review the factual findings, but you 24 Q. But when you receive findings, they come directly
25 expected that, on appeal, she would; is that correct? 25 from Connie to you, correct?
75 76
1 A. In the -- the three occasions over my 15 years. 1 Q. But in -- but in all three instances the findings
2 Q. So as far as you know, on those three occasions 2 came directly from the investigator to you, correct?
3 there was no one above Connie who was reviewing her work 3 A. Correct.
4 before it came to you? 4 Q. And would you agree that there's a problem if the
5 A. I can't speak to that. I don't know for certain. 5 findings go directly from the investigator to you, and
6 Q. But in your experience with the three you've 6 you impose a sanction without reviewing the underlying
7 received, you've never seen that in the process? 7 facts?
8 A. What in the process? 8 A. My assumption is that if the students are
9 Q. That there was a review at EOD of -- of the 9 disputing the facts, they will appeal the decision of
10 investigator's findings? 10 EOD.
11 A. Again, I'm not following that. 11 Q. And you think they have a decision within the
12 Q. Okay. In the -- you said that you had received 12 EOD -- they have an avenue within the EOD to appeal
13 three findings from EOD, correct? 13 that?
14 A. Correct. 14 A. I think so.
15 Q. Concerning student groups? 15 Q. And you think that they would have received
16 A. Correct. 16 notice of that opportunity?
17 Q. And you haven't received any other findings from 17 A. I believe so.
18 them? 18 Q. And if that opportunity did not exist, would you
19 A. Correct. 19 agree that that's problematic?
20 Q. And was Constance the investigator in all three 20 A. Yes.
21 of those? 21 Q. Because that would deny students of the right to
22 A. She was in BLinC. She was in 24:7. The UI 22 have their facts and circumstances reviewed, correct?
23 Feminist Union, I believe there that was -- I think 23 A. Correct.
24 perhaps Wanda -- I can't think of Wanda's last name -- 24 Q. Okay.
25 was the investigator. 25 MR. CARROLL: Why don't we take a break?

1 MR. BAXTER: This is a great time. 1 when you were in the meeting you indicated that it would
2 (A recess was held from 10:27 a.m. until 2 be okay for BLinC to -- in fact, you asked BLinC to
3 10:35 a.m.) 3 include its beliefs about marriage in its constitution,
4 MR. BAXTER: Okay. Go on the record. 4 correct?
5 BY MR. BAXTER: 5 A. Correct.
6 Q. Okay. We were just talking about the meeting 6 Q. And a statement that all students had to abstain
7 that took place on September 1st, 2017, correct? 7 from marriage out -- abstain from sexual relationships
8 A. Correct. 8 outside of marriage between a man and a woman, you
9 Q. After that meeting did you have any discussion 9 indicated would be acceptable, correct?
10 with Tom about it? 10 A. I believe so.
11 A. Yes. 11 Q. Okay. And that's because as long as it applied
12 Q. And what was the nature of those discussions? 12 to everybody, that would not categorically exclude
13 A. Just talking about appropriate sanctions, asking 13 anybody from participating in BLinC because of their
14 opinion. 14 status -- their sexual orientation?
15 Q. What was Tom's opinion? 15 A. Correct.
16 A. I think com -- similar to mine; that again, based 16 Q. And asking students just to read that and sign
17 on the fact that there was a finding -- a violation that 17 that would allow BLinC to avoid asking them directly
18 seemed like there was some appropriate restorative kinds 18 about their sexual orientation, correct?
19 of sanctions related to ongoing compliance. 19 A. I suggested or I required in the --
20 Q. And by that you're referring to the additions to 20 Q. Well, let me -- let me just ask you that
21 the constitution that BLinC agreed to make? 21 question. Just -- just asking a student leader to sign
22 A. Referring to the -- what ended up being the three 22 a Statement of Faith, that would avoid the potential for
23 sanctions that were part of my September 13th 23 presuming something about someone's sexual orientation;
24 communication. 24 isn't that correct?
25 Q. Okay. And before I get to that, just to clarify, 25 A. No.
79 80
1 Q. And why not? 1 communicate -- face-to-face communication. There could
2 A. Because they could in an interview setting ask a 2 have been. I think there was -- sorry, an email draft
3 question that was not appropriate based on the Human 3 of the -- there wasn't an email draft. It was a hard
4 Rights Policy. They -- 4 copy draft, as I recall, of his -- a review of my
5 Q. So interviews would be problematic? 5 letter.
6 A. If -- if not structured with an appropriate 6 Q. Okay. Would you make sure that that's been
7 protocol and line of questioning that would be approved 7 produced?
8 by the leadership and by the advisor -- 8 A. Okay.
9 Q. Okay. 9 Q. And we'll make a note of that. Then would you --
10 A. -- to avoid asking questions that could get the 10 were there -- did you -- would you have emailed anybody
11 group in conflict with the policy. 11 else about the meeting?
12 Q. But if all the student group did was ask students 12 A. I may have emailed Lyn to let her know that it
13 to sign a statement, if they signed it, they were 13 occurred. I can't recall exactly.
14 eligible; if they didn't, they weren't eligible for the 14 Q. Okay. And would you make sure that any emails
15 leadership position; that would be okay? 15 that are relevant were produced?
16 A. Barring no other problem. 16 A. Correct.
17 Q. Okay. Let's -- so you -- was there any 17 Q. Well, you don't go forward -- you do that after
18 disagreement between you and Tom about how to proceed 18 this session?
19 after the meeting? 19 A. Yes.
20 A. Nothing of substance that I recall. 20 Q. Okay. Did you have any conversations with anyone
21 Q. Okay. Anything minor that you recall? 21 other than Tom about the meeting?
22 A. I -- I don't believe so. 22 A. Nate Levin.
23 Q. Okay. Did you exchange any emails about the 23 Q. And who's Nate Levin?
24 meeting with Tom afterwards? 24 A. In the Office of the General Counsel.

8 what we had talked about in that setting and that -- I 8 procedures; is that correct?
9 was -- that was the first time I had met those students. 9 A. Yes, because investigations of Human Rights

13 change the policy? 13 A. Correct.

17 Q. Do you have any insight into why these were 17 A. Correct.
18 protected categories? 18 Q. Or as an ex-spouse?
19 A. No, not why they were added. 19 A. Correct.
20 Q. Who would have that knowledge? 20 Q. Okay. So I want to ask you just a series of
21 A. I believe Constance -- Constance would. 21 hypotheticals.
22 Jennifer -- these were people who would work in the 22 A. Okay.
23 Office of Equal Opportunity and Diversity. Jennifer 23 Q. And ultimately -- let me ask: Ultimately, you
24 Modestou who is the director there, Constance who is one 24 were the person who was responsible -- or were you the
25 of the team members there, perhaps Mr. Baker. 25 person who was responsible for carrying out the review
151 152
1 of the student constitutions? 1 Q. And so as the process of the reviews began, you
2 A. At -- at my level or the Vice President's 2 were starting to shift over your reporting to Vice
3 level -- I'm not certain. So, again, I -- or the office 3 President Shivers as well?

5 directive -- 5 Q. And were there any issues that arose that you
6 Q. Okay. 6 passed up to her?
7 A. -- based on advice to -- that needed to happen. 7 A. Yes. In our -- in our review of -- or when I say
8 Q. Okay. But Anita and Paul would have -- 8 "our," the collective "our," our CSIL team in the
9 A. Report to me. 9 review. I'm sorry. In the review, I believe they
10 Q. Report to you? 10 reviewed over 500 student constitutions, and among those
11 A. Excuse me. Interrupted. 11 500 constitutions, approximately 160, 150 -- I think it
12 Q. If you had questions, you would have then 12 was 157 have the full and complete information. Human
13 reported to who? 13 Rights Policy Clause.
14 A. At -- at the time when the review started, it 14 Q. Okay.
15 was -- Lyn Redington was in the process of leaving, and 15 A. The remaining did not. That was passed along.
16 so I, for a period of time, was in the process of 16 Q. And so what did you do -- that was passed along
17 reporting to Dr. Shivers, shall we say? 17 to Vice President Shivers?
18 Q. And Dr. Shivers is? 18 A. Correct.
19 A. The Vice President for Student Life. 19 Q. And do you know what she did with that

153 154
1 Q. Then what did -- what happened? 1 Q. But do you know how it came to your attention
2 A. Um-hum. Then we realized that one of our 2 that they were being uploaded without getting --
3 challenges was that student organizations could upload 3 A. That was just the way the system was. That was
4 governing documents into the OrgSync portal -- OrgSync 4 our practice.
5 being our student organization data -- database 5 Q. It wasn't -- okay. And so what -- what did you
6 management platform, and that students could go in and 6 do -- anything besides that? You changed it so they
7 do that, and there was no trigger for staff to know that 7 would reroute to staff?
8 the ABC group went in and made a change. 8 A. Yes. And so -- timing-wise, then the -- that
9 So in the first part of February we disabled 9 disabling occurred the first part of February, and
10 that, so that all con -- all governing documents -- 10 then -- there were -- in -- April there was a
11 uploads or -- would have to go through staff. So that 11 communication that was sent out to the -- Registered
12 way staff had to review the updated uploaded document -- 12 Student Organization leadership, the primary
13 prior to upload. 13 representatives, asking that they submit -- or -- new
14 Q. So how did that -- how did that problem come to 14 constitution, new governing documents that included the
15 your attention? 15 updated full and complete University of Iowa Human
16 A. When we realized -- how the problem? 16 Rights Policy.
17 Q. Well, you said that it was a problem -- or it 17 Q. And did that -- that was April something?
18 sounded like you were saying it was a problem that 18 A. Something. Yes.
19 student groups were uploading their revised 19 Q. Did that go to every single student -- Registered
20 constitutions, presumably without it going through 20 Student Organization on campus?
21 staff? 21 A. That went to the groups who -- well, we knew from
22 A. Correct. Correct. And this was -- as we 22 our initial review that there were 160 that were
23 realized, we needed to do something different related to 23 complete. That communication went out to the remaining.
24 enforcement. That seemed to be a natural -- point of 24 We started the review, I believe I said -- 500 and --
25 where we could connect a potential problem. 25 513, I think, was the initial starting number; 157
155 156
1 was the -- those that were full and complete, accurate, 1 and I believe they received 200 and -- 201 responses.
2 current. So that remaining number, that 300 and some -- 2 Q. And why was March 3rd chosen as the date?
3 they were reached out to, to say that, "You need to 3 A. I think there was a two-week period. I think,
4 include the full, complete, updated Human Rights -- 4 ballpark of two weeks from April 20th to --
5 Policy." 5 Q. Okay. And then there were two more letters that
6 Q. Do you have a list of the 157 that were complete 6 went out later. Do you recall that?
7 from the beginning? 7 A. There was a letter that then went out on -- June
8 A. We should have that, absolutely. 8 1st.
9 Q. And we'll ask that that be provided. Were those 9 Q. Okay. What was the purpose of that letter?
10 157 also reviewed for conflicting language? Do you know 10 A. That letter was a communication to the groups who
11 what I am talking about? 11 had not complied or -- complied or responded, saying,
12 A. Yes, yes, yes. Part of -- yeah, part of -- part 12 "You have until June 15th to submit the revised con --
13 of that review that happened initially with that 513 -- 13 governing documents, constitution in the bylaws," and it
14 that was -- you know, the other thing they were looking 14 said that if they did not, they would be deregistered,
15 at, was -- potential conflicts in language, yes. 15 but as soon as they did, they would be reregistered,
16 Q. Okay. Then -- 16 assuming it was full and complete.
17 A. I don't know how many of that 157 may -- may or 17 Q. And were you -- did you help draft those emails
18 may not have had conflicting language off the top of my 18 or who would have drafted those emails?
19 head. 19 A. They would have come from, I believe, Andy
20 Q. Would there be a record of that? 20 Kutcher. I reviewed -- I have reviewed some of his
21 A. I -- I believe so. 21 communications, and I don't know -- I know I reviewed
22 Q. Okay. And then after the April 14th letter went 22 the communication that went out on -- that -- that first
23 out to the remaining 300 and some groups, what happened? 23 communication, was the day April --
24 A. So that communication, I believe, was sent on 24 Q. 20th?
25 April 20th. They had until March [sic] 3rd to respond, 25 A. Yes.

5 A. This is communication from Andy Kutcher to a 5 went to all of those groups with everything else in it?
6 student organization leader, and -- referencing the 6 A. So -- again, the -- then the June 1st
7 Human Rights Clause. 7 communication.

21 A. This would have gone -- this would not have gone 21 A. Am I confident --
22 to the ones that we had identified as being -- having no 22 Q. That all student groups received the April 20th
23 problems. 23 email, and that there are no student groups who heard
24 Q. So that's the 157 from before April, plus any who 24 about this for the first time on June 1st or June 8th?

9 Q. Do you notice that -- well, I'm gonna show you 9 listed above in the Human Rights Clause."

14 underlining or emphasis, correct? 14 would be anything that has to do with selecting the
15 A. Correct. 15 years [sic] based on things that might contradict the --
16 Q. And could you read that again? 16 or might be implicated by the Human Rights Clause?
17 A. The entire paragraph or just the -- 17 A. Correct.
18 Q. Just the -- the (inaudible) language. 18 Q. So only the -- only the groups that received this
19 (The reporter requested a clarification.) 19 email on June 8th would have received that instruction,
20 MR. BAXTER: I'm sorry. Just the 20 correct?
21 contradictory language. 21 A. Correct.
22 A. "Additionally, RSO governing documents may not 22 Q. And, again, there's no -- there were no more
23 include the language that is considered contradictory to 23 specific guidance on what it meant to have language

17 their -- have final decision making authority on what 17 understanding was of how they would have applied the
18 type of language for selecting leaders would violate the 18 requirement to remove any contradictory language. Let's

1 Q. Well, I've given you the entire situation. 1 group philosophy could conflict with the Human Rights --
2 You're authorized to interpret the Human Rights Policy, 2 with a -- could touch on a topic in the Human Rights

4 Q. Deregistering them, correct. 4 That's why we are changing our enforcement patterns.
5 A. Correct. 5 Q. Okay. So --
6 Q. Okay. Have you made any effort to deregister -- 6 A. Because we operate from a complaint-driven
7 are there groups on campus that form around -- 7 system.

22 speculating -- could have been information also shared 22 are. Just -- basic information for -- for her. Again,

9 referenced earlier, when we were -- began the effort to 9 Q. Okay. And did you review and approve this
11 Q. Okay. And do you know when this document would 11 A. I did not.
13 A. Probably in advance of that first review, which 13 A. I -- it was -- I didn't ask to approve it.
16 A. Early February, that's when we -- as I -- 16 at that time managed with -- again, Andy and Dr. Cory.
17 possibly, you and I discussed earlier, in terms of when 17 Perhaps some involvement from Paul Mintner.
18 we began the -- the review. 18 Q. Okay. And you see down at the bottom where it
22 Q. Do you remember who the author was? 22 reviewers received for reviewing constitutions?
24 Dr. Cory would have, with some assistance from Paul 24 Q. You referred to a document they might have
187 188
2 Q. Do you think there were any other documents like 2 individual people didn't submit anything to the General
4 A. There may have been followup that some of the 4 continue to say Paul -- I meant Andy. And Paul and
5 staff asked of Paul -- of Andy, and he may have provided 5 Dr. Cory, but again Dr. Cory and Paul -- Dr. Cory
6 some additional followup in writing. 6 transitioned out, and Paul transitioned in.
7 Q. And would you have received copies of that 7 Q. Okay. And so is it possible that there were
9 A. Probably not. Would have been directly between 9 contract -- constitutions that have not been produced?
11 Q. And were you -- 11 written communication? They were assembled in the room.
12 A. Excuse me. Andy. 12 The majority of the -- of review happened with people in
13 Q. Were you at some point asked to produce documents 13 the same room at the same time. So there -- maybe I
14 for this litigation? 14 referenced this earlier, as there were questions, they
16 Q. And was Andy asked to as well? 16 communications in that setting probably were mostly
17 A. I -- yes. 17 oral.
18 Q. And was everybody on your staff who participated 18 Q. Okay. But when you were asked to provide
19 in this review process asked to produce documents? 19 documents for this deposition, did you ask your entire
21 Q. No? 21 A. Yes.
23 Q. Okay. Is there any reason why -- 23 A. Yes. And that process was a process that was
24 A. Well, I think -- well, I think Paul was -- again, 24 done by -- by me and by Andy and -- yeah, that team of
25 I think Andy Kutcher and Paul were collecting all the 25 us worked together on this because of the magnitude of

1 the effort. 1 Human Rights Clause"?
2 Q. But everybody that was on the review team was 2 A. Um-hum.
3 asked to somehow get you any documents they might have? 3 (The reporter requested a clarification.)
4 A. I believe Paul asked everybody to do that. That 4 MR. BAXTER: The Human Rights Clause.
5 would be part of the -- what we needed to do. 5 BY MR. BAXTER:
6 Q. On the next page over you see -- and then there's 6 Q. And then it says, "The Human Rights Clause is
7 Number 2 a, it says, "Once approved please delete the 7 encompassing of all RSO activities, including the
8 organization from the Student Organization Governance 8 selection of membership and/or leadership"; is that
9 Follow-up --" 9 correct?
10 A. Correct. 10 A. Um-hum.
11 Q. Okay. And it says -- and that's a shared Excel 11 Q. And then it says, "RSOs can still have
12 spreadsheet, correct? 12 purposes/mission statements related to specific classes
13 A. Correct. 13 or characteristics of the HR Clause, but attaining --
14 Q. Was that document gathered for production in this 14 attainment of membership or leadership cannot be
15 litigation? 15 contingent on the agreement, disagreement, subscription
16 A. I -- I can't tell you if it was. 16 to, et cetera, of stated beliefs/purposes which are
17 MR. BAXTER: Well, I'm gonna ask counsel to 17 covered in the HR Clause."
18 make sure I have that. I don't believe it was in the 18 A. Um-hum.
19 production. 19 Q. So I want to tease out your understanding of this
20 BY MR. BAXTER: 20 sentence, and I want to propose: One way of looking at
21 Q. Okay. On the next page at the top of the page -- 21 a Human Rights Policy is that it prohibits status-based
22 A. Okay. 22 discrimination.
23 Q. Do you see where it says "Registered Student 23 A. Correct.
24 Organizations RSOs are considered University programs 24 Q. And you can't discriminate against someone
25 and thus must comply with all policies including the 25 because of their status. There's another way to look at
191 192
1 that. You can say, "Well, we're prohibiting conduct 1 because of their status?
2 that might fall within one of the categories or we're 2 A. Their status.
3 protecting conduct." And then this seems to be saying 3 Q. So it's okay to discriminate on the basis of
4 that the HR Clause prohibits beliefs -- stated beliefs 4 beliefs?
5 or purposes which are covered by the HR Clause. That is 5 A. (No response.)
6 the position of the University? 6 Q. Can the -- student group for transgender students
7 A. I believe this was the guidance that we received, 7 discriminate against people who believe that
8 that Paul -- Andy received specifically from General 8 transgenderism is a figment of the imagination?
9 Counsel. 9 A. Discriminate by not allowing them --
10 Q. Okay. So when it says, "Obtainment of membership 10 Q. To join the group.
11 or leadership cannot be contingent on agreement with 11 A. Can they? We don't allow -- we don't allow
12 beliefs or purposes that are covered in the HR Clause," 12 violations of our Human Rights Policy, and so the -- so
13 is it the University's position that it can prohibit 13 excuse me.
14 groups from selecting leaders who share their beliefs? 14 Q. If -- if -- if a transgender -- a transgender
15 A. No. 15 support group excludes people who believe that
16 Q. So how do you read that then? 16 transgenderism is a figment of the imagination -- is
17 A. Again, I -- I read this as -- as I've stated 17 that status-based discrimination or is it belief-based
18 before, that Registered Student Organizations can have 18 discrimination?
19 Statements of Belief, but the -- and members can be 19 A. Belief.
20 asked to sign them, but to deny someone a -- an 20 Q. Okay. Can you give me an example of what
21 opportunity for membership or leadership cannot be in 21 status-based discrimination would be?
22 violation of the Human Rights Clause. 22 A. Yes, it's a suit -- if -- if -- in this case if
23 Q. But what does it mean to violate the Human Rights 23 Marcus Miller saying he was gay and then being denied a
24 Clause? Do you violate the Human Rights Clause when you 24 leadership opportunity.
25 discriminate against someone because of their beliefs or 25 Q. Just because he was gay?
Page 189 to 192 of 264 EDWARDS REPORTING SERVICE 319-338-3776 or 319-465-3654 48 of 93 sheets
193 194
1 A. If he -- correct. If the group had categorically 1 A. Yes.
2 denied him of that opportunity because he had -- he had 2 Q. And did everybody else in the University that you
3 said he was gay, and so as a result, they denied him 3 know of know that?
4 that leadership opportunity. So gay would be a status 4 A. I can't attest to that.
5 in that case. 5 Q. Okay. Did your staff know that?
6 Q. Okay. So -- is belief-based discrimination okay 6 A. Yes.
7 under the Human Rights Policy? 7 Q. Okay. And is it your understanding the new
8 A. Yes. 8 policy is going to prohibit belief-based discrimination?
9 Q. So the Human Rights Policy only prohibits 9 A. I'm not -- we are waiting for direction from the
10 status-based discrimination? 10 Office of the General Counsel about how we will
11 A. At the time, yes. 11 interpret the Human Rights Policy moving forward.
12 Q. At what time? Right now? 12 (The reporter requested a clarification due
13 A. No. I -- again, we are waiting for guidance. 13 to lawn maintenance occurring outside of the
14 Q. Okay. But at the time that -- up till -- at this 14 deposition room.)
15 moment the Human Rights Policy is the same Human Rights 15 BY MR. BAXTER:
16 Policy that was in existence at the time of the BLinC 16 Q. So this statement in this memo, you think, is
17 investigation? 17 wrong?
18 A. Correct. 18 A. The opening paragraph, that first paragraph?
19 Q. There's been no changes? 19 Q. Well, the last sentence in that opening paragraph
20 A. Correct. 20 says that, "RSOs can have mission statements related to
21 Q. And the human policy [sic] in place right now 21 specific classes or characteristics of the HR Clause,
22 only prohibits status-based discrimination? 22 but obtainment of membership or leadership cannot be
23 A. Correct. 23 contingent on the agreement, description -- agreement,
24 Q. And did you know that at the time of the BLinC 24 disagreement, subscription to, et cetera, of stated
25 investigation? 25 beliefs/purposes which are covered in the HR clause."
195 196
1 A. I think that's the belief status thing. That -- 1 Q. You never tried to make sure that the guidance
2 Q. This says that you can't -- you can't require 2 they were giving their reviewers was accurate?
3 people to subscribe to a belief, though, right? 3 A. I made the assumption of what they were getting
4 A. (Pause.) This is -- this is, at the time, an 4 from the General Counsel's Office -- is what we needed
5 accurate interpretation of how we were instructed to 5 to do.
6 move forward. 6 Q. Okay. But you don't know if they asked counsel
7 Q. And this came from counsel? 7 to review this?
8 A. We received our direction about how to move 8 A. We've been asking counsel every step of the way.
9 forward in consultation with the Office of the General 9 It would be logical to assume that they were asking --
10 Counsel. 10 as well in this situation. We've been asking every step
11 Q. Did anybody that you know of above you approve 11 of the way.
12 this statement? 12 Q. But you agree that this is wrong compared to what
13 A. I can't -- I can't speak to that. I'm -- I 13 you understand the policy to be?
14 believe we received direction from the General Counsel's 14 A. I state at -- at the --
15 Office on that. 15 Q. At this time, right now, which is the same policy
16 Q. And who did you say you think drafted this? 16 that existed during the BLinC investigation, is this a
17 A. The document itself was put together by Andy 17 false statement?
18 Kutcher and Dr. Cory -- 18 A. I don't think it's false.
19 Q. Okay. 19 Q. But you stated, correct --
20 A. -- I recall, but they were informed along the way 20 A. I'm sorry. I --
21 by direction from the Office of the General Counsel. 21 Q. You stated the Human Rights Policy only prohibits
22 Q. But this is just Andy and Anita's -- own writing? 22 status-based discrimination?
23 A. Correct. 23 A. Correct.
24 Q. And you never -- you never reviewed it? 24 Q. Can the University tell students what they have
25 A. I did not. 25 to believe?

197 198
1 A. No. 1 A. They are allowed to share similar beliefs and
2 Q. Can they tell the student groups what they have 2 purposes.
3 to believe? 3 Q. And that's true for leaders, correct?
4 A. No. 4 A. Correct.
5 Q. So this statement says that you cannot condition 5 Q. And that's true for members?
6 leadership on agreement to a stated belief or purpose. 6 A. Correct.
7 Isn't that trying to tell people what they -- 7 Q. Okay. And that's the official interpretation of
8 A. Correct. 8 the policy by the University?
9 Q. -- can't believe? 9 A. Currently.
10 A. Correct. 10 Q. Okay. So the entire review of all of these 500
11 Q. Okay. So this statement, you're -- according to 11 plus constitutions was done based on a false statement;
12 your own views of the Human Rights Policy, this 12 is that correct?
13 statement is a false statement? 13 A. No. They were reviewing constitutions, and part
14 A. We can't -- (pause). I -- I -- wonder if that 14 of what was being flagged to be set aside for review by
15 should say "status." 15 General Counsel was any of -- if they had statements,
16 Q. You wonder or you agree that it should say 16 beliefs in there that were counter to the Human Rights
17 "status"? 17 Policy, that would be reviewed by General Counsel.
18 A. It should. 18 Q. But -- but the -- but did -- everyone who was
19 Q. Okay. So the statement that you can't condition 19 reviewing the constitutions. Was looking for the wrong
20 membership or leadership on shared beliefs or purposes 20 kind of language, correct?
21 is false? 21 A. They were responsible for collecting the data,
22 A. Correct. 22 and then the data would be given to Paul -- Paul --
23 Q. The Human Rights Policy does allow you to share 23 Andy, and then Andy and Paul, and then that information
24 or to -- require leaders and members to share beliefs or 24 was in direct communication with -- General Counsel's
25 purposes? 25 Office in term of whether there may or may not be
199 200
1 conflicts. 1 as far as who relates to student groups at that school?
2 Q. Okay. But they would have been flagging language 2 A. Roughly, yes.
3 based on a false understanding, right? 3 Q. Okay. And do you know who Jacob Gordon is?
4 A. Perhaps. 4 A. Jacob Gordon. I'm not recalling off the top of
5 Q. Because this -- this was the official document 5 my head who Jacob Gordon is.
6 they were looking at for guidance? 6 Q. Okay. Do you know who Tevin --
7 A. Yes. 7 A. Yes, Tevin Robbins is a staff member there as
8 Q. And there's nothing in here about status-based 8 well.
9 discrimination, correct? 9 Q. At the --
10 A. Correct. 10 A. In the Tippie College of Business.
11 Q. It only flagged belief-based selection of members 11 Q. Okay. And if you flip over to the second page,
12 and leaders -- 12 the very first line it says -- notes that Court issued
13 A. Correct. 13 an injunction that BLinC is reinstated as a student
14 Q. -- which this says is -- is a violation of the 14 organization?
15 Human Rights Policy? 15 A. Correct.
16 A. Correct. 16 Q. And then the second paragraph says, "I know that
17 Q. So you were just relying on legal counsel to 17 some members of the organization engaged in
18 correct that? 18 discrimination and that that act was not only wrong but
19 A. Correct. 19 hurtful." Do you see that?
20 Q. Okay. Let me ask you to look at Document 128. 20 A. Correct.
21 Do you know who Ken Brown is? 21 Q. And then you see down at the next to the last
22 A. Yes. Ken Brown is the Associate Dean of the 22 line in the middle, it says, "We understand how BLinC's
23 Tippie College of Business and has oversight of their 23 activities are not consistent with our beliefs and
24 student -- Student Services functions. 24 principles of human rights"?
25 Q. So is he your equivalent at the Tippie school -- 25 A. Um-hum.

17 Q. And you said that's okay? 17 been some historical pieces where -- this was
18 A. Yes. 18 philosophically a -- a different approach than the past.
19 Q. We've established that, right? 19 Q. Was that because they were going more after
20 A. Yes. 20 beliefs than just protecting status?
21 Q. Even if those beliefs concerned homosexuality or 21 A. That was because -- it was more of a shift from
22 other sexual conduct? 22 leadership and membership, would be the differentiation.
23 A. Correct. 23 Q. But really, the policy hasn't changed, correct?
24 Q. Correct? And was there anybody in the University 24 A. Correct.

3 but -- 3 A. (Pause.) This was a -- a brief prepared to
4 Q. When had the policy -- 4 update the administrative reporting line for Dr. Cory
5 A. But interpretation of the policy in this case, I 5 about where we were at in our review process and kind of
6 believe, had been somewhat different than -- that was 6 an outcome -- general outcome of what we -- the team --
7 part of the discussion. Again, I -- I hadn't been here 7 discovered/learned during the review.
8 as long as some of those staff members that were talking 8 Q. So this would have been passed up the chain?
9 about some of the historical -- allowing groups to -- 9 A. Correct.
10 the membership versus leadership piece. 10 Q. Okay. Do you know who -- do you know who it went
11 Q. Okay. That was a new thing that arose just with 11 to?
12 the BLinC situation? 12 A. Me -- again, I'm trying to -- Lyn Redington was

16 Document 131. (Marking.) Do you recognize this 16 extended. Like, she was only in the office a couple of
17 document? 17 days. So I'm not certain whether or not Lyn had access
18 A. Yes. Dr. Cory, I believe, produced this. 18 to this, but Dr. Shivers would have -- and I believe it
19 Q. Okay. 19 would have been shared with the President's Office and
20 A. Yes. 20 the Office of General Counsel.
21 Q. And did you review this document? 21 Q. Okay. And would there have been an email

25 A. I'm gonna have to take a look at it again, 25 A. I -- I'd have to -- I would have to review,

1 again, other documents to verify that was the case, but 1 Q. Isn't that true of other groups as well?
2 I know this is Dr. Cory's work. I know the next page is 2 A. I believe there's some, yes.

17 kind of the complexities of their -- international-based 17 Q. Okay.
18 constitutions and bylaws. That's the origin of our 18 A. I just know that we -- the decision was made to
19 social fraternities and sororities there -- their 19 set aside fraternities and sororities. That was a
20 constitution and bylaws would be national and 20 decision that was confirmed by the Office of General
21 internationally kind of connected, so the notion of 21 Counsel, and then -- but we did eventually move to
22 calling the -- the chapter president of a sorority and 22 working with them in the very same way, starting in
23 saying, "We need you to do this," would involve several 23 June.
24 layers of consultation with their international 24 Q. Okay. So in June they got emailed, or what did

2 communication. 2 right here it says in the middle of paragraph three, do
3 MR. BAXTER: Okay. I'm gonna note for the 3 you see where it says -- I'm on page that's marked 3981

6 Q. Has there just been one communication? 6 MR. BAXTER: Correct.
7 A. There was, I believe, a -- a followup. That 7 BY MR. BAXTER:
8 communication was from Erin McHale. 8 Q. In the middle of that paragraph it says,
9 Q. Okay. 9 "Regardless of category, all organizations are expected
10 A. Erin McHale was our Assistant Director for 10 to adhere to the Human Rights Policy except social
11 Fraternity and Sorority Life Programs, and so Erin 11 fraternities and sororities."
12 communicated on, I believe, June 1 or June 15th -- I 12 A. Sir, where are you at on that page?
13 apologize -- in June -- that they would need to adjust 13 Q. I'm in the middle of the third paragraph.
14 their governing documents to include the modified Human 14 A. Thank you. (Pause.) Was there a question? I'm
15 Rights Policy that we referenced earlier, that had the 15 sorry.
16 exemption related to Fraternity and Sorority Life. I 16 Q. You've -- you've read that?
17 believe that was also part of the delay -- my 17 A. Yes.
18 understanding, from the Office of the General Counsel, 18 Q. Okay. Is there -- why were the fraternities and
19 was that particular piece, in terms of what the exact 19 sororities given a -- that exception?
20 language would be used in the Human Rights Policy that 20 A. The -- a couple of -- a couple of issues. The
21 would apply to fraternities and sororities because of 21 fraternity and sorority constitutions and bylaws were
22 Title IX. 22 not in the OrgSync portal because fraternities and
23 Q. And were there any other exceptions made for 23 sororities are -- receive their recognition -- their
24 fraternities and sororities? 24 registration, their recognition to their respective
25 A. I don't believe so. 25 counsels.
211 212
1 Secondly, there was a question posed to General 1 Q. Okay. So you're just acting on instruction, you
2 Counsel about how to manage the Title IX exemption. 2 don't have any reason or any personal --
3 Q. What's your understanding of what the Title IX 3 A. Well, it -- it --
4 exemption is? 4 Q. -- stake in it?
5 A. As I shared earlier, that is an exemption that 5 A. Absolutely, I have a personal stake and I have a
6 the institutions have, as relates -- my contact with 6 professional stake in it, and it's the notion that, as
7 fraternities and sororities is much broader than that, I 7 it currently reads, fraternities and sororities, because
8 understand. But that there's an exemption that the 8 the exemption piece wasn't in there, it was the opinion
9 institution can enact to -- so that fraternities and 9 that it could give the appearance of not being accurate
10 sororities can operate as single sex organizations. 10 because we need the -- we thought it was important to
11 Q. Okay. So your understanding is that the law 11 draw out the exemption language.
12 allows Universities to let fraternities do that? 12 Q. Okay. Do you know that Title IX has a religious
13 A. Well, I -- well, the point I'm trying to make is 13 exemption in it?
14 the exemption is for the institution to make that. 14 A. I'm not familiar with that part.
15 Fraternities and sororities themselves aren't 15 Q. Okay. But if there were, would it make sense to
16 quote/unquote exempt from Title IX. 16 you to also give religious organizations a religious
17 Q. Okay. So is there any reason why you had to 17 exemption?
18 exempt fraternities and sororities from the sex -- 18 A. That would make sense.
19 nondiscrimination requirement? 19 Q. And -- what about sports teams? Does the
20 A. I -- 20 University of Iowa's official team -- official teams,
21 Q. It sounds like you're saying that you could, 21 are they segregated on the basis of sex?
22 under Title IX, but is there any reason why you have to? 22 A. Yes. We have -- yes, sports, yes. Division --
23 A. Again, I -- that's a General Counsel Office 23 NCAA groups, are you talking about?

1 Q. And that technically violates the Human Rights 1 sports-centered?
2 Policy, correct? 2 A. No.
3 A. There's a long -- perhaps. A long established 3 Q. So if you have a women's football team at the
4 NCAA -- that that's been allowed to happen. 4 University, is it your understanding that they have to
5 Q. Regardless of what the NCAA does, the University 5 admit men to play on their team?
6 could have its own policy, right? It could say, "We're 6 A. Are you referencing sports clubs at this point?
7 gonna dis -- we're gonna forbid discrimination"? 7 Q. Correct.
8 A. It could. 8 A. Yeah, we've long -- long allowed sports clubs to
9 Q. Okay. And is there any written exception in the 9 be single sex. The men's volleyball team, the --

12 teams to discriminate on the basis of sex? 12 Q. -- Registered Student Organizations.

15 their own policies? 15 registered status, would it be okay for them to exclude
16 A. Yes. 16 men from membership?
17 Q. Okay. 17 A. No.
18 (A discussion was held off the record during 18 Q. So they have to admit men?
19 which time the reporter requested that the 19 A. Umm --
20 parties speak more slowly.) 20 Q. If a man wants to join a women's club that's sole
21 MR. BAXTER: I will slow down. 21 purpose is to get together to pay football, they have to
22 BY MR. BAXTER: 22 let him come and play?
23 Q. Is there any reason then -- so was this exemption 23 A. I -- I don't know if we've had that kind of a
24 for fraternities and sororities extended to student 24 case come before us to see how -- what we -- how we
25 organizations that have sports -- that are 25 would respond to that.
215 216
1 Q. Well, just -- just tell me how you would 1 Q. Not even with the spirit?

5 Q. That's status-based discrimination, right? 5 it makes?
6 A. Correct. Correct. 6 A. No.
7 Q. And so the women -- 7 Q. So what's the real purpose of the Human Rights
8 A. It would be. 8 Policy?

10 A. Correct. 10 by law to be protected. Federal law, state law.
11 Q. Okay. And would you -- do you think the 11 Q. Okay. What about --
12 University would make an exception? 12 A. Equal opportunity and access, et cetera.
13 A. Perhaps. 13 Q. What about a women's a cappella group? If a man
14 Q. Okay. And why might they make an exception? 14 wanted to join, and he couldn't -- and he was a bass,
15 A. Historical reasons. 15 would they be required to join -- let him join?
16 Q. Okay. 16 A. Right. We haven't had that situation so, again,
17 A. Long standing traditions that have been 17 I think it would go back to if we would have looked
18 acceptable for extended periods of time. 18 at -- we would have looked at the situation like that,
19 Q. And would that all be consistent with the spirit 19 if a man tried to join, he was denied that opportunity,
20 of the Human Rights Policy? 20 and we received a complaint, we would look into that.
21 A. Would all what be? 21 Q. And if he was denied just because he was a man,
22 Q. With those types of -- making exceptions for 22 you would have to find -- that there was a violation?
23 those reasons, would that still be consistent with the 23 A. Correct.
24 spirit of the Human Rights Policy? 24 Q. And you would sanction that organization?
25 A. No. 25 A. Correct.

1 Q. And basically force them to admit him? 1 correct?
2 A. We would have ruled that you cannot violate the 2 A. Correct.
3 University of Iowa's Human Rights Policy. 3 Q. Okay. So is there any reason why you would give
4 Q. And the only way to do that would be to admit 4 fraternities an exception to sex nondiscrimination
5 him, right? The only way to not violate the policy is 5 policy, but not sports teams -- or sports clubs?
6 to admit him? 6 A. We allow sports clubs. We do have single gender
7 A. Correct. 7 sports clubs.
8 Q. Is it fair to say that there are lots of 8 Q. But you've admitted that that's in violation of

10 not thought through? 10 A. If that's what was found to be the case -- the
11 A. Yes. Yes. 11 outcome of a hearing.
12 Q. And -- 12 Q. So you'd -- even though there's a club on campus

21 bit of discussion, just generally, you know, across the 21 A. Correct.
22 nation about the value of fraternities and sororities? 22 Q. But now you're going to require all men's sports
23 A. Yes. 23 teams to fully integrate? That's --
24 Q. And there are some people who think that 24 MR. CARROLL: Just a minute now, you're

10 Q. Okay. I'm gonna ask you to look at Document 10 Q. Would you have flagged that language as
11 Number 184. (Marking.) Do you recognize that document? 11 problematic for review by the General Counsel's Office?
12 A. I'm assuming it was part of, again, the 12 A. (Pause.) I'm sorry.
13 production of documents. 13 Q. Take a minute and read the first paragraph that
14 Q. It's titled "Constitution of the Iowa National 14 has the Statement of Purpose in it.
15 Lawyers Guild," correct? 15 A. (Pause.) Okay.
16 A. Correct. 16 Q. And what you just read in Article I, that's the

18 A. Correct. 18 Guild?
19 Q. And it says "BLinC-Def 002409." Do you see that? 19 A. That's correct.
20 A. Correct. 20 Q. And that statement includes political statements
21 (The reporter requested a clarification.) 21 about protecting workers and so forth, correct?
22 MR. BAXTER: Dash Def, D-e-f, for Defendant, 22 A. Correct.
23 002409. 23 Q. And then under Article II, Section 1, the
24 BY MR. BAXTER: 24 constitution says that membership in the -- in this
25 Q. Under Article II Membership, do you see that it 25 organization is only open to students, faculty, and
255 256
1 staff who agree with the Statement of Purpose in Article 1 is the final word from the University, correct?
2 I, correct? 2 A. Correct, because they received word not to
3 A. Correct. 3 approve the language, and that word came from the Office
4 Q. So they can exclude people who don't agree with 4 of General Counsel.
5 Article I? 5 Q. Okay. And they also -- that email -- I'm
6 A. As stated in their constitution. 6 referring to Document 167 -- also states that a
7 Q. And that is discrimination on the basis of creed? 7 religious organization can't even encourage its leaders
8 A. Yes. 8 to be a certain religion, correct?
9 Q. So that should violate the Human Rights Policy 9 A. Correct.
10 under your theory that we just discussed with respect to 10 Q. And that's the official position of the
11 the InterVarsity email, correct? 11 University?
12 A. Correct. 12 A. No.
13 Q. Okay. So is it still your position, after 13 Q. Well, you said that that was the guidance from
14 reading the email from Andy, that the InterVarsity 14 the legal counsel's office, correct?
15 constitution is still under review by the lawyer's 15 A. I'm sorry. I need to -- regroup here. How Andy
16 office? 16 was advised is the position of the University.
17 A. I -- I -- I don't know. I apologize for not 17 Q. Okay. And Andy was advised to tell her that it
18 knowing that. It -- it very well may be there. It 18 was not permissible to have the language that she has on
19 might not be. It could -- it's very dynamic -- it could 19 the top of the second page --
20 have -- I know this is a month or so ago. It appears 20 A. Correct.
21 that the -- the General Counsel's Office has given Andy 21 Q. -- that leaders are requested to subscribe or
22 the direction as it relates in that June 12th -- but if 22 strongly encouraged to subscribe to their beliefs?
23 it's a backup there or something else, I guess, I don't 23 A. Correct.
24 know. 24 Q. Okay. If I go onto OrgSync today and download
25 Q. But it's fair to assume that this email from Andy 25 the constitution of the Iowa National Lawyers Guild,

1 that means that they are currently a Registered Student 1 document marked 192. (Marking.) This is a copy of the
2 Organization, correct? 2 constitution of the House of Lorde that was downloaded
3 A. Correct. 3 from the University's website, from the OrgSync website.
4 Q. And unless their constitution is still in the 4 (The reporter requested a spelling.)
5 Office of General Counsel, they've already been 5 MR. BAXTER: L-o-r-d-e.
6 approved? 6 (Mr. Blomberg left the room.)
7 A. Again, there are 17 with the General Counsel's 7 BY MR. BAXTER:
8 Office that are registered and there are seven that are 8 Q. I'm gonna ask you to flip four pages in.
9 deregistered. 9 A. Okay.
10 Q. But if they're not currently in the lawyer's 10 Q. And do you see it says -- where it says "Article
11 office, that means they've already been approved? 11 2: Mission"?
12 A. I think under review pending -- there were a 12 A. Correct.
13 section of student organizations that de -- selected to 13 Q. And then it says that, "The House of Lorde is an
14 reregister on their own. I don't believe they're part 14 organization founded to advocate for the political
15 of that, so I believe the answer is yes. 15 interests of Black Lesbian et al GBTQPA+ students at the
16 Q. Okay. But today any -- any organization that is 16 University of Iowa and metro Iowa City community." Do
17 currently on OrgSync, their con -- except for the 17 you see that?
18 fraternities and sororities, their constitutions have 18 A. I see that, yes.
19 already been reviewed and approved, except for maybe 17 19 Q. Okay. And then, skipping two more pages over,
20 who are currently -- 20 where it says "General Student Membership --"
21 A. Correct. 21 A. Yes.
22 Q. -- in the University's lawyers' office? 22 Q. And then the second tab -- the second bullet
23 A. Correct. 23 point, says, "Selection of membership may be based off a
24 Q. Okay. If you can bear with me a few moments, 24 general interview by the executive board or open by
25 we're getting very close. I'm going to show you a 25 association. Either option will be discussed on an

1 individual basis to maintain the purpose of the 1 was reserved for black queer individuals. Are you -- as
2 organization as a space for black queer individuals 2 far as you know, is this constitution one of the ones
3 and/or the support thereof." 3 that is in the legal office at the University?
4 A. Correct. 4 A. I don't know.
5 Q. Do you believe this language is in conflict with 5 Q. Okay. Is there any problem with the statement in
6 the Human Rights Policy. I'm sorry. I'm gonna scratch 6 here that selection and membership may be based off a
7 that question. Is this language in violation of the 7 general interview? Is the interview process alone a
8 Human Rights Policy? 8 problem?
9 A. Yes. 9 A. No.
10 Q. And why? 10 Q. Okay. I'm gonna show you two more constitutions.
11 (Mr. Blomberg entered.) 11 Number -- well, I will just ask you: Do you know if --
12 A. Because of the race piece and -- that space is 12 Multiethnic Undergrad Hawkeye InterVarsity is one of the
13 only open to -- says black. 13 groups under review in the lawyer's office?
14 Q. Black queer individuals, right? 14 A. I -- I believe that they are. I know that they
15 A. Correct. 15 reached out to Andy yesterday.
16 Q. So that would violate both the race and the 16 Q. How do you know that they reached out to Andy
17 gender identity or sexual orientation perhaps -- 17 yesterday?
18 A. Yes. 18 A. Andy told me.
19 Q. -- provision? And is this constitution -- 19 Q. Is -- do you know if International Neighbors is
20 MR. BAXTER: Excuse me -- can we just go off 20 one of the groups whose constitution is before the
21 the record for a minute? 21 lawyers at the University?
22 (Mr. Blomberg left the room.) 22 A. At this point, without the list in front of me, I
23 MR. BAXTER: We'll go back on the record. 23 feel like I'm not giving -- giving accurate information.
24 BY MR. BAXTER: 24 I have that list.
