University officials will be held liable for discriminating against the club. InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, a student ministry that provides community, Bible studies and important discussions on campus, has been a part of Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan for over 75 years. Though the club is open to all students, the university deemed InterVarsity’s leadership policies “discriminatory” for requiring that the group’s leaders agree with the organization’s statement of faith.

Judge finds Wayne State violated rights of student religious group

Judge finds Wayne State violated rights of student religious group The Detroit News A federal judge has ruled that Wayne State University discriminated against a Christian student group by denying it official recognition because it requires its leaders to be Christians. In fall 2017, Wayne State flagged InterVarsity s constitution requiring that those in the group s leadership be Christian. The Christian group was decertified in October 2017 after refusing to drop the leadership requirement from its bylaws; the university restored recognition in 2018. On Monday, U.S. District Judge Robert Cleland issued a permanent injunction requiring the university to change its rules and recognize the leaders of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, a religious outreach and ministry group that is active on more than 600 college campuses across America.

Judge: School violated rights of Christian student group

“No religious group can constitutionally be made an outsider, excluded from equal access to public or university life, simply because it insists on religious leaders who believe in its cause,” U.S. District Judge Robert Cleland said Monday. Cleland noted that Wayne State had no problem with gender-specific club sports teams or fraternities and sororities. He noted that the Iraqi Student Organization requires leaders to be “dedicated Iraqi students.” “The court’s ruling was not unexpected,” Wayne State spokesman Matt Lockwood said. “Unfortunately, despite the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship being granted everything it requested in a timely manner, it continued to pursue litigation, forcing the university to spend time and taxpayer dollars in an unnecessary lawsuit.”
