The Department of Education has dismissed a complaint against Brigham Young University over its ban on same-sex romantic relationships following a probe into the treatment of LGBTQ students at the school.

In a letter to BYU President Kevin J. Worthen, the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) on Tuesday wrote that even though the school, which is affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is subject to Title IX protections against discrimination on the basis of sex, it is also entitled to a number of exemptions due to its religious affiliations.

The letter listed fifteen regulatory provisions that it said the school is exempt from, saying they would “conflict with the religious tenets of the University’s controlling religious organization that pertain to sexual orientation and gender identity.”
