Christian student group sues Arizona State over perks
Lawyers for Arizona State University will troop to court Monday to argue against a lawsuit brought by a Christian group that wants official University recognition. The Christian Legal Society wants to form a chapter at ASU, but they insist on discriminating against gay people, and that policy is against University rules. School recognition brings with it several perks: free use of university space, school funding for part of the group’s operating budget and cut-rate postage for mass mailings. ASU argues that as a state school, taxpayer dollars can’t be used for organizations that exclude certain groups. The Legal Society counters that student group leaders ought to be able to pick their own members— and they only want Christian, straight people.
