University of Georgia Will Permit Religious Membership Limits In Student Groups

Yesterday, the University of Georgia approved a policy that will permit faith-based student organizations to restrict membership to students of the same faith and still qualify for state funds and other support from the university's Campus Life office. Online Athens reports today that this is likely to lead to the dropping of a lawsuit that had been filed against the University by the student group Beta Upsilon Chi, also known as Brothers Under Christ.
