Religious-Activities Ruling May Force Colleges to Alter Rules.

Jaschik, Scott

Chronicle of Higher Education, v41 n44 pA22-A23 Jul 14 1995

The Supreme Court's finding that the University of Virginia acted unconstitutionally in denying funds to students for a Christian newspaper not directly affiliated with a church raises new questions about legal issues of church-state separation and the allocation of student fees. Some legal experts feel the ruling could spell the demise of campus support for student activities altogether. (MSE)
