7th Circuit: U. of Wis.-Madison cannot deny funding to Catholic student group
CHICAGO — The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit ruled Wednesday that University of Wisconsin-Madison officials violated the First Amendment by refusing to fund events of a student Catholic organization while providing funding for the events of other student organizations. The university refused funds from student activity fees because the student group’s events contained religious expression, including prayer, worship, and proselytization. The court affirmed lower court rulings that concluded the funding refusal amounted to unconstitutional discrimination based on viewpoint.
