Disaffirm

Repudiate; revoke consent; refuse to support former acts or agreements.

Disaffirm is commonly applied in situations where an individual has made an agreement and opts to cancel it, which he or she may do by right—such as a minor who disaffirms a contract.

A disaffirmance is a denial or nullification of the existence of something, as opposed to a revocation, which is the breaking of an existing agreement.

Therefore, it stands to reason that just as the field has recently revisited and clarified its position on the intersection of religious identity and provision of individual counseling services to LGB clients (Kaplan, 2014), it is time for the field to provide clarification on the systemic issue of how to negotiate accreditation practices related to religious institutions that disaffirm or disallow LGB-identified students and faculty.
