Although some religious organizations have said they will not register as campus organizations at Vanderbilt University, the Baptist Collegiate Ministry has applied to remain a registered campus organization.

In January officials of Vanderbilt met with students to explain that the university will enforce its non-discrimination policy and a new "all-comers" policy. The all-comers policy means that any student at Vanderbilt is entitled to become a member and to seek a leadership position in any registered student organization on campus.
