Inside Higher Ed: Religious versus gay rights
In the continuing battle between Christian groups and public universities over anti-bias policies, the religious students won a key round Monday. In a strongly worded, 2-1 decision, a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit made permanent an injunction barring Southern Illinois University from enforcing its anti-bias rules with regard to the Christian Legal Society. The society maintains that it should be entitled to bar from its group anyone who engages in certain activities, including gay sex, and the university has said that this policy violates its rules against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
