Injunction Lets College Christian Group Keep Recognition While Issue Is Litigated

On Monday, a temporary injunction while litigation proceeds was issued by consent of the parties in InterVarsity Christian Fellowship-UW Superior v. The Regents of the University of Wisconsin System, (WD WI, Nov. 13, 2006). The order allows IVCF, while the lawsuit is still in court, to use religious criteria in selecting its leaders, and to impose religious-based rules of conduct on those leaders, without losing the benefits available to recognized student groups. Yesterday the Alliance Defense Fund issued a release discussing this development. (Also see prior posting.)
