Grove City College, Pennsylvania suspended a student for one year after school officials learned about his involvement in online gay pornography. Grove City’s student handbook outlines that possessing pornographic material and having premarital sex (homosexual or heterosexual) could be penalized by suspension. The student, John Gechter, told The Herald that he had been working in pornography for two years to pay his tuition. Critics have questioned the degree of control schools exercise in the lives of students following Gechter’s suspension. The college, a Christian institution with strict rules of conduct, found out about Gechter’s involvement after a student browsing the Internet forwarded a few images to others in the college via email.
