SMU faces Texas Supreme Court over right to separate from UMC due to LGBTQ+ policy disputes.

Southern Methodist University (SMU) is set to argue before the Texas Supreme Court on January 15 for the right to separate from the United Methodist Church (UMC) due to disagreements over LGBTQ+ rights. In 2019, SMU updated its articles to assert that its board of trustees holds ultimate authority, a move opposed by the UMC, which argues it must approve any changes. The outcome could affect other affiliated universities.
