:Gordon College (Massachusetts)

In 1889 Adoniram Judson Gordon founded the school, Boston Missionary Training Institute,{{cite web|url=http://www.gordon.edu/ajgordon |title=A. J.

to train Christian missionaries for work in what was then the Congo Free State.{{Cite web|url=https://www.gordon.edu/ajgordon|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141206063719/http://www.gordon.edu/ajgordon|url-status=dead |title=A. J. Gordon Heritage Project - Gordon College|archive-date=December 6, 2014|website=gordon.edu}} Progressive at its inception in 1889, the school admitted both men and women of various ethnicities. It was renamed Gordon Bible College in 1916 and expanded to Newton Theological Institution facilities along the Fenway, into a facility donated by Martha Frost in 1919. Frost, a widowed Bostonian with several properties in the city, provided a significant philanthropic gift.{{cite web|url=http://www.gordon.edu/page.cfm?iPageID=345&iCategoryID=31&About&History_of_Gordon |title=History at Gordon College |publisher=Gordon.edu |access-date=2012-09-14}} In 1921, the school was renamed Gordon College of Theology and Missions.

In the early 1950s, a Gordon student named James Higginbotham approached Frederick H. Prince about selling his {{convert|1000|acre|km2|adj=on}} estate to the college after learning of recent property viewings by the United Nations and Harvard University. In 1955, Gordon developed into a liberal arts college with a graduate theological seminary and moved to its present several-hundred-acre Wenham campus north of Boston. Gordon sold its Boston campus on Evans Way to Wentworth Institute of Technology. The Prince Memorial Chapel on the Wenham campus (since replaced) was named for Frederick Prince, and the Prince residence was named Frost Hall after Martha Frost.

In 1958, Gordon College instituted a core curriculum. In the 1950s it launched its first study-abroad program, European Seminar.{{citation needed|date=October 2019}}

In 1962, the school changed its name to Gordon College and Divinity School. In 1970, the Gordon Divinity School separated from the college to merge with the Conwell School of Theology, once part of Temple University, to form the Gordon–Conwell Theological Seminary in Hamilton, Massachusetts.

Barrington College, founded in 1900 as the Bethel Bible Institute in Spencer, Massachusetts, later relocated to Dudley, Massachusetts, and then to Providence, Rhode Island. It took the name Barrington after the campus was moved to Barrington, Rhode Island, in 1959. Barrington merged with Gordon College in 1985, forming a United College of Gordon and Barrington.{{citation needed|date=October 2019}}

In the October 2020, Gordon College announced a 33% reduction in tuition from $56.7k sticker price to $37.9k, joining two other CCCU schools in bringing tuition costs more in line with what a typical family would consider 'affordable.' The college notes that this reduction is made possible due to its Faith Rising capital campaign, which has expanded its base endowment by $125 million in the past year (250%), coupled with 24% debt reduction. Scholarships will be adjusted accordingly, with current students allowed to choose which arrangement they prefer. The reduction took effect in the fall semester of 2021.{{Cite web|url=https://www.salemnews.com/news/gordon-college-to-cut-tuition-by-33/article_3c096184-0966-11eb-974d-0be1f553fff6.html|title=Gordon College to cut tuition by 33%|first=Paul|last=Leighton|website=Salem News|date=8 October 2020 }}

On July 1, 2014, Gordon College President D. Michael Lindsay was one of fourteen leaders of religious and civic organizations who signed a letter to U.S. President Barack Obama about an executive order he was contemplating that would prohibit federal contractors from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.{{cite news|work=The Salem News|url=http://www.salemnews.com/local/x1927847880/Gordon-head-Michael-Lindsay-Letter-on-hiring-gays-misconstrued |title=Gordon head Michael Lindsay: Letter on hiring gays 'misconstrued'| access-date=July 9, 2014|date=July 9, 2014}} The letter asked the president to include language that would exempt religious organizations from the executive order's requirements, suggesting he "find a way to respect diversity of opinion . . . in a way that respects the dignity of all parties".

Conservative legal organizations have offered to represent the college in lawsuits that would argue that severing ties to the school constituted retaliation for the exercise of free speech and the practice of religion. Lindsay declined those offers and later said he would not have signed the letter had he anticipated the reaction and the impact on Gordon. The school subsequently reviewed its code of conduct, which, in addition to banning sex outside of marriage, bans homosexual practice.{{cite news|last1=Zoll|first1=Rachel |title=Gordon College President Was Surprised At Reaction To Anti-Gay Stance|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/03/gordon-college-anti-gay_n_6094652.html|access-date=November 4, 2014|work=Huffington Post|agency=Associated Press|date=November 3, 2014}} Based on that review, Lindsay announced that "its policy barring student or faculty sex out of heterosexual marriage will remain as is."{{Cite news|url=https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2015/03/17/gordon-college-maintains-ban-homosexual-practice-creates-human-sexuality-task-force|title=Gordon College maintains ban on 'homosexual practice,' creates human sexuality task force|access-date=2017-03-11}} In addition, Gordon College rolled out several initiatives aimed at preventing bullying of gay, lesbian, transsexual, and bisexual students.

In 2015, Lauren Barthold, associate professor in the department of philosophy, filed a lawsuit against the college for retaliating against her because she publicly disagreed with the college's President D. Michael Lindsay who sought to allow federal contractors, on the basis of religion, to discriminate against LBGTQ individuals in hiring.{{Cite web|url=http://dailynous.com/2016/09/13/barthold-retaliation-case-settled/|title=Barthold Retaliation Case Settled|last=Weinberg|first=Justin|date=2016-09-13|website=Daily Nous|language=en-US|access-date=2020-04-10}} The lawsuit contends that the college violated state laws protecting against retaliation.{{Cite web|url=https://www.aclum.org/en/cases/barthold-v-gordon-college|title=Barthold v.

In 2017, the college was sued by Margaret DeWeese-Boyd, associate professor in the department of sociology and social work. DeWeese-Boyd filed a complaint in Essex Superior Court claiming that the college's President Lindsay and Provost Janel Curry discriminated against her because of her gender and denied her promotion to full professorship for advocating against the school's LGBTQ policies. The college filed a motion seeking a summary judgment to determine whether the ministerial exception clause barred DeWeese-Boyd from suing. In November 2019, both parties appeared before the court for a hearing and DeWeese-Boyd argued that she never worked as a minister with the college. On April 2, 2020, Judge Jeffrey T. Karp of the Massachusetts Superior Court ruled against the ministerial exception defense. This decision was appealed to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) based on the July 2020 Supreme Court decision handed down in Our Lady of Guadalupe School v.
