.The_RaYnbow Collective and other LGBTQ groups say they paid $200 to BYU to put the pamphlets in a welcome bag for new students. The pamphlets, which cost the groups $2,000 to print, were removed without notifying them.
The groups say they had paid $200 to the private school, which is operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, to put the materials in a welcome bag for new students.
She said the collective wasn’t told about the decision by the school, but by an anonymous tip. When she reached out to BYU, an administrator there confirmed the removal, she said. BYU spokesperson Carri Jenkins said the administrators over Residence Life and New Student Orientation were not aware of what was in the bags until after some had been distributed. When they learned about the pamphlets, an administrator decided to pull them.
